PS4 is so low. It needs a price cut and it needs to start receiving some of the upcoming and promising games.

Kingdom Hearts 3
Resident Evil 2
Devil May Cry V
Granblue Fantasy Project Re:Link
Lost Soul Aside
Code Vein
Edge of Eternity
Sekiro
Ghost of Tsushima
Judge Eyes
Left Alive
Ace Combat 7
Digimon Survive
Final Fantasy VII Remake (might not even launch on PS4)

Japan only accounts for 8% of total PS4 sales. A better scenario would be for the games you listed to up their western sales potential. Its easier for the PS4 to go from 79 million western PS4's to 115 million than Japan going from 7 million to 10 million.

That's true and hopefully these games will do good in the West.

However, I'd still like to see PS4 improving and keeping its lead over PS3 in Japan.

If we compared to last holiday dates and releases.

Odyssey week launched with ~127k units and week 47 was at ~145k units. Releasing this week is:

 

  • Pokemon LG
  • Pokemon Bundles
  • Smash Bundle
  • SMP Joy con bundle
  • 4 minor games that wont drive any sales what so ever.
I think 180k should easily be achieveable... and quite frankly, it really should be a lot higher than that. But I wont guess a number. But who the heck knows hehe... it's a very weird year in terms of sales. It's been steady as you mention, I believe this week was the third highest for the entire year. It's been close static to 40-50+k for almost the entire year.

 

Can we have 200k+? It may be possible as you said it's been stable this year. And this will be the fourth highest week

# W Sales
1 1 146006
2 33 54647
3 11 54342
4 45 54235
5 29 53745
6 18 53113
7 31 50799
8 26 50762
9 12 50412
10 28 50239

top 2-4 are definately super close :O

I'd be surprised if it didnt reach 200k+.  But i've been surprised a lot of times this year ;P

Has to do 400k? Huh lol. If it did 400k next week it would mean itll be closer to 5mil than 4mil by years end. Have you seen best HW weeks outside of launch? I mean "400k" xD

It needs 275k each week xD.

If it can't eat into its AWN with Pokemon launch + Pokemon/Smash bundles then the Math will become impossible xD

For instance if it's 150k next week then it will need 295k the remaining weeks xD

400k will lower it to 250k the remaining weeks xD

It has to actually hit and surpass its AWN eventually if it wants to hit 4 million xD

That said the Nintendo Switch will always have it's peak holiday sales week in December of the year rather than November in Japan regardless of big titles releasing prior as is the traditional trend of Nintendo consoles. What ever Switch does in sales next week, is very likely not going to be it's best performing week of the year. If it does somehow out do it's AWN (which won't happen) next week despite being a traditionally less performing month, then December must have some record breaking sales ahead for Switch.

KH HD 1.5 + 2.5 returns to the top 20 and is so close to 200k 

Spider-Man above 300k

I'll be honest, even before the PSPro price cut, I did not think PS4 would be slipping after three big 100,000 games at this point, one of them being easily 500,000.

You thought bo4 would push hardware? How many cods has the ps4 had this gen? A lot.

Do you expect 350k+ selling weeks from NS?

Switch domination is strong. Gonna be interesting to see what the numbers are going to be for Pokemon. I'll be conservative and say 70k
