Nice start for the Switch. Didn't expected whole november and december to not be able to make over 100k weekly, but then in January on the very start of the month and the year to hit over 100k.

I feel like for the PS5, there is no holiday period, no winter, no summer, everytime it's sales are all the same .. It doesn't move.

Also interesting feat continues between the XBSX and PS4, maybe I should've done this comparison again for this year. It is looking even more close than the last one.

I expect the PS5 will go down to 15-20k after FFVII rebirth and Rise of the Ronin has launched. After Q1 the Japanese gamer will face a drought, until Dragon Quest, Ghost of Tsushima 2 and Monster Hunter will launch, most likely all these titles won't launch this year. The Switch still has plenty of releases ahead that the Japanese market likes.

There have already been plenty of draughts with a stable baseline though. To the contrary Q2 hardware baseline should benefit from the amount of content in Q1

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth
Tekken 8
Persona 3 Reload
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Dragons Dogma 2
Rise of Ronin


This is the strongest software quarter for the japanese market playstation 5 has probably had since launch. 5 of those releases could be 100k+ openers which is a lot by third party standards, particularly on playstation
