comparison with Yokai Watch it´s too early. It´s a high investment game with AAA budget, with notorious persona: GRR martin. Years of marketing, publicity and have less than 300k in two videogames, in Japanese market I doesn't see this smash success. Good sales. 

It´s a good sales, doesn't see the success similarities with Yokai Watch, not yet. 

If Yokai watch has this AAA investment and has Haruki Murakami in collaboration will be a good comparison. 

No, I wasn't putting any comparison with Yokai Watch. I said "since Yokai Watch". In other words, there hadn't been any bigger third party new IP in Japan after Yokai Watch that was bigger than how Elden Ring just performed.

So reading "For best or worst, the Japanese market it´s only Nintendo now, Sony it´s a figurative character" made me laugh so hard because it's like you didn't at all look at the most recent sales thread or something. It's akin to walking outside in the snow and complaining about how hot it is or something, just totally making the wrong statement at the wrong time.

Looking at aggregate sales in 2022, Sony is less than 20%, and has all thirds on board. It´s a shame.
