I mean, do you understand what 'this calendar year' means? It's not some arbitrary range as you seem to have selected.

This has to be your weakest argument I've read yet. Yes, tentpole games will raise sales. That's not some amazing secret. It's not Sony's fault that Nintendo didn't have a tentpole game in the first 10 months of this calendar year.

I remember your prediction for PS4 and Switch sales for calendar year 2018 in Japan. Do you want to say what it was or shall I do it?

2.8m for PS4, 3.6m for Switch.

Expected a summer price drop for PS4 that never came sadly. Some big games are in January instead of Nov/Dec as I thought they'd be.  Looks like I'll be right around on point for Switch at least. But yeah, Sony really befuddles me with how highly priced they're keeping the base PS4 in Japan in its 5th year.

So yeah, this has been an awful year for the PS4 in Japan, even with MHW.
