Switch holding nicely and should have erased all the ground it lost during the period preceding the launch of the new model. Monster Hunter doing wonders for the PS4 too, I think it's 3 times what it did last week.

Signature goes here!

Switch keeping it high. Surprised that an Expansion for MHW boosted Ps4 sales.

There was a PS4 combo that included the Iceworld Master Edition. Pretty solid deal.

MHW did okay, on COMG it did pretty bad, but in Japan as a whole it did okay.

I wonder why Capcom didn't decide to rebrand Iceborne as the usual Ultimate version we were getting alongside MH 3/4/Generations. Honestly, I think it hurts it's potential sales by a lot. Astral Chain even down by a lot, maintains it's hold in the Top 10 list.
Anywoo ! Switch is doing wonder on the back of the upgraded model we got ^^

The expansion is DLC and the retail release included the original game, we don't know what the digital sales look like, I think its far reaching to come to that conclusion.

Astral Chain is sticking, hope the shortages are over, and the Switch Lite gives it a little bump, still easy 100k considering digital is missing, I hope it legs its way to 200k

I really, really like astral chain alot, I'm having such a great time with it. I love the gameplay mechanics, the duo control is really intuitive and fun. I love the rpg like element too. The music, visuals.... spot on and nearly perfect. Such a great exclusive. Glad to see it make the chart, I hope it has solid legs and sells slowly but surely to a few hundred k.... does anyone know why the cartridge version is so expensive in Japan?I dont get why.
