So looking from the outset, looks like Switch is massively down for no reason. However, last year this week Smash released. So it makes sense. PS4 is up because of a big cyber monday deal on Amazon. Another great hold for Pokemon, the entire top 10 is Switch dominated :D



Barkley on 11 December 2019

Big increase for ps4... relatively anyway. It's going to be interesting to see if Switch December 2019 will be higher than December 2018, maybe it could make it back in the next few weeks, and maybe the global drop YoY isn't as high in other regions, though I view Smash's main region as USA so maybe not.

Switch domination! This was the top 10 we were all waiting for!
Switch have been very consistent in the past weeks. But Smash was too big to compete with no new releases despite the Switch lite.

If Famitsu doesnt took into consideration about official digital sales data. Then seems.like Pokemon Sword and shield might have reached 3mil.

Pokemon still at top spot (of course).  Luigi's Mansion at #2.  I did not see that coming.  I did not realize just how popular Luigi's Mansion is.  I've never played a Luigi's Mansion game, so I guess I need to give it a try.  Then there is this Fishing Spirit game.  Apparently this is popular enough to top BotW, Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest XI S and both the 2D & 3D Mario platformers.  That was a game not even on my radar, but apparently the Japanese really love it.

Switch dominates the top 10 in spite of all of the PS4's sold this week.  It will likely last that way for the rest of December.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

it's going to be interesting to see if the Cyber Monday sales of this week will help to compete with last year Smash release's week globally.
Cyber Monday is more of a USA thing rather than a Japanese (even if it worked very well for PS4 in japan this week)



Amnesia on 11 December 2019

Bad. So the week worlwide will be sub 1 million for the Switch.



siebensus4 on 11 December 2019

Switch Lite doesn't sell like I have expected in Japan. I wonder if Nintendo is disappointed of the sales. It seems that Switch Lite doesn't make additional sales, it's more like it cuts off the sales from the base model.



TruckOSaurus on 11 December 2019

It was to be expected that Switch wouldn't match last year's Smash week but still good numbers. PS4 finally bounces back but fails to get a title in the Top 10.

Is Yo-kai Watch 4++ a "deluxe" version of Yo-kai Watch 4? Either way, the game not making the Top 10 doesn't bode well for the series.
