Famitsu Sales: Week 50, 2024 (Dec 09 - Dec 15)

[Norion]

Strong week for the Switch with it jumping back up to nearly 100k. I did not expect this but it's now very possible that it'll both get a 2nd 100k week this year and be slightly up for the holidays in Japan which would be insane. The PS5 on the other hand is back to rough territory with a 21k week in mid December that kills the chances of 1.5m for the year. The combination of the growth of PC gaming in Japan, the price of the PS6 and the Switch 2 being in the middle of its peak when the PS6 comes out could cause a significant decline in Playstation hardware over there. The main thing up in the air is what the state of the yen will be like a few years from now since the PS6 could be insanely expensive over there if it doesn't improve much.
