I wonder how rdr2 and pubg will do in Japan. 500k sellers? 

Hardly.These games are not popular in Japan.At Least RDR is not.

That's not true. Western games this gen like gta 5 and the witcher have seen great growth in Japan on ps4. No reason rdr2 won't easily out perform rdr.

GTA 6 will be big. 

For the PS5...

If they are smart it will be ps4 and then ps5 a year later.

Great hold for PS4! Didn't expect it to reach 140k last week, and certainly didn't expect it to hold almost 110k this week.
DQXI gave it a FW bump to 90k, and second week was already down to 50k so this is a much stronger performance, both in absolute terms and percentagewise.

DQ had many spin offs that got fans to buy a ps4 long before dq11 launched. Mhw did not.. Anybody that looked at this objectively would have seen that .

Damn, two weeks in a row for PS4. If MHW continues to sell well, it might continue for a few weeks.

Last year, PS4 took 4 weeks in a row:
Week 25: PS4: 25,680 - Switch: 22,361
Week 26: PS4: 29,194 - Switch: 25,805
Week 27: PS4: 29,771 - Switch: 26,256
Week 28: PS4: 36,218 - Switch: 31,906

If PS4 takes next week, it'll have 5 weeks in a row:
Week 2: PS4: 43,808 - Switch: 37,500
Week 3: PS4: 52,507 - Switch: 43,027
Week 4: PS4: 140,145 - Switch: 47,107
Week 5: PS4: 109,287 - Switch: 49,165
Week 6: ?

Ps4 can still hold its own despite the new kid on the block.
