Also, Splatoon 2 still in the top 10 two years after release, holy moly.

Had a busy week and couldn't be able to post. So, it's chart time:

- Switch managed to sell 16297 more units than last week's 59184, summing up to 74841, an improve of +26,4% week over week

- Switch also sold 31244 units more this week of the year than last year's 44237, an improve of +70,62% year over year

- PS4 continues to gain negative numbers comparing week to week numbers, with -7470 units, a -39,8% week over week

- Over the year, the PS4 struggles to mantain its numbers lowing to - 6531 units, a -36.6% year over year

- This week 27 marks the 3rd best-selling week for the Switch thus far in 2019.

- This week 27 marks the 5th lowest-selling week for the PS4 thus far in 2019.

- The baseline for the Switch so far is 40338, a +4.09% improve over last year in the same week.

- The baseline for the PS4 in 2019 so far is 13854, a -28.73% over last year in the same week.

- This week's sale Switch represents a 87% while PS4 a 13% of marketshare.

It's so weird that the recent weekly Japanese charts discussions have been sorta...underwhelming, ever since Media Create no longer shared their sales data publicly. Guess it doesn't help that the Switch is the only console holding its end of the bargain in sales this year as the generation comes closer to a close.

Does anyone have a FF14 comparison? I think Shadowbringers sold better than Stormblood, but I'm going off of a finicky memory.

I forgot about this thread until now.

But no,

Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood – PS4 — 28,731 / New

Final Fantasy XIV: The Complete Edition – PS4 — 4,030 / New

It is like 5k down.

Cheers for the figures; great post. Dat Pacman. Waka waka waka.

I'm still unclear as to why Switch sales rose this week when the week before was Mario Maker 2's release.

You get a 5000 yen eshop coupon with every purchase of a Switch. Thats carrying the hardware sales atm.

Didn't that promotion start the week before this though? Or is it just that it's been on for more days of this week than the previous?

Shouldn't that be Paku paku paku since we're talking about Japan here?

It's only 3000 Yen, not 5000. But you're right about it boosting the sales.

It did start earlier, with the release of SMM2, but it's still ongoing.

Do we know when it ends?
