Oh my ... We did know it was going to be a destructive week for the PS5 due to the price hike and it certainly was ...

Astro Bot, their biggest exclusive in a good while barely did anything on the software side 😕

It does slightly join the impressions I had from the UK numbers though. Superb critical reception but it doesn't seem to have garner more sales on a substantial level.

I wouldn't worry about Astro bot. Similar to the UK where it sold 20% more than Ratchet  with digital factored in, the Japanese physical sales will be disproportionately low. It was sold out in many retailers & on Amazon, it's still the No.1  game on Amazon JP as well...

The hype for this game really began a week ago when the reviews came in and it's still not some huge IP, so it will depend more on legs Vs a big launch. Although it's looking over 1m globally week one, which is a strong start and its still charting well in its second week
