Smash has over 500K digital sales in Japan according to Nintendo sell-through number at 31 Dec. So ltd number should be over 3.3m at this point.

Its over 3.38mil now. Digital was 550k+ by week 4

And somehow Famitsu Digital Estimates gave ~309k number for Smash Ultimate despite the hint of digital data by Nintendo in Q3 report.

Nothing really surprising this week. KH3 had another drop, Switch sales still in the 60k range. NSMB hanging on top spot, pretty tame week

I'm hoping we get a surprise Feb release in the direct. And I think this year, we'll see a week with 90%+ switch as a total of the hardware. Will PS4 have 20k as a baseline or will it fall further next week? Will 60k be switch's new baseline. Also of note that of the top 20, 12 are switch titles and 8 PS4s. 3ds was selling software before but now even that is out. So this might be it's last year. It also means we might see a week where 15 or more the top 20 titles are all switch. This will be a bad year for the console market as a whole in Japan but an unbelievably huge year for switch. It'll basically be the only thing selling decent since PS4 has run out of almost all options now that kh3 and re remake are out



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Its already established that Famistsu digital estimates is completely unreliable. Nintendo just confirms it once in awhile lol. Digital was 500k+ in Dec so definelty off by 40% xD

Would have liked to see Kingdom Hearts hold on a bit better in its third week. Getting to 1 million physical will be hard now, but with digital it should be fine.
With 26% digital it would already be there.

Its not. 100k digital was comfirmed FW. It should be roughly around 900k ship+digital though right now. 1mil is still in reach

You can already tell by the declining popularity of playstation in Japan that the PS5 is going to be something like the Switch.
Unless Sony doesn't care about the Japanese market anymore.

How so?

PS4 is still ahead of PS3 launch aligned, sure, in the end it might be a decline. But it really isn't much of one.

Switch on the other hand is behind 3DS launch aligned :O.
