Famitsu Sales: Week 8, 2025 (Feb 17 - Feb 23)

[Norion]

With the first sub 40k week in over half a year the impact of the Switch 2 continues and it fell behind last year in February or March as I expected. It'll still sell really well for at least the next several weeks though with it potentially getting a bit of a boost next week and the impact probably not increasing more till some time after the big April Direct.

And ouch on the PS5 declining the week before Wilds releases and despite having a new release at number 1. The PS4 increased the week before Worlds launched so that's not a good sign. It got a boost of 90k the week that released so the same as that would have the PS5 reach 100k but considering the very different circumstances to then it's safe to say the boost won't be that big but 50-70k seems doable. Also I wonder if this could be the last time the PS4 has a game chart in the top 2. That happening despite it being 11 years old is kinda wild.
