Famitsu Sales: Week 30, 2023 (Jul 17 - Jul 23)

[curl-6]

Excellent numbers for Pikmin 4, looks like it will be yet another franchise to shatter its previous sales ceiling on Switch.

I was there in Japan last week and this tallies with what I saw; the Switch section of game stores quite active, ads for Pikmin 4 all over the place, long lines at Nintendo Tokyo.

If that was the case, games like Bayonetta 3 or FE engage might had exploded in sales, but the former for example, bombed. 

Bayonetta 3 didn't bomb, it sold over a million in its first two months. It's simply a niche series.
