Famitsu sales: Week 49, 2021 - (29th Nov - 5th Dec)

[Agente42]

Elden Ring maybe was the big Ps5, but have minors impact in sales because of this. 

• Asia is one of Playstation's fastest growing areas so that's wrong.
• A lot of the best selling PS4 games are Playstation first party so that's wrong again.
• Also you've completely misread why Playstation dominates MS and Nintendo globally: they are the biggest gaming store/network by far. PSN alone made more revenue than the entirety of Nintendo in many years and PS4 sold 300M software in one year. PS4 has sold more software than any other console in history.

Do we talk about East Asia or Asia? Two different things

If you check, you noticed Nintendo is dominant in Taiwan, South Korea(look of CeSA white papers), and growing mainland China. All East Asia territories. 

Asia is Nintendo’s fastest-growing market, with sales outside of Japan growing 152% this fiscal year

Sony console is third-party-driven, a lot of best-selling PS4 games don´t make difference at all when 17%-20% of sales only is first-party, Nintendo is 52%. So wrong again. 

The store has never to do with dominance, dominance is present in a determined market. If you lose all dominance in one major territory you have two problems: support for this territory and contamination for the satellites territories.

Sony was a third-party driven console, it´s a fact when lose exclusivity hurt more Sony than Nintendo. Falcom now will launch Nintendo, and other indies e mid-size publishers following this trend. 

The AAA production will be isolated if not go multiplatform. And if all go multiplatform Sony will lose domination, and will be more drastic on Japan.
