I cannot access the site earlier. It's always showing 503 unable to open the site and it's already past midnight so I decided to sleep already.
So yeah I wasn't able to post the numbers.

Japan sales has become really boring for me since a few weeks. PS4 really needs some big new releases there.

Well, switch also didnt get new releases.

I think PS4 games needs more legs. If not, we will see the same, 3 weeks later a new release disapears from charts and we go back to the boringness

Yep! I thought Monster Hunter would change that...... but nope! 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Question: Wasn't Minecraft released digitally on Switch last year? Or am I dreaming or something? O.o



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Extremely impressive sales overall considering there are no big or new games out this week.

It was. On May 11th 2017

Thank you. Wow, that makes it even more impressive. I wonder if this game will be another 10m seller on Switch when all is said and done. I certainly don't doubt it.

Wanted to post it earlier, but couldn't access the page in the morning. Chart time is here!

Nintendomination again! Top 13 locked with Nintendo stuff.

Both Switch and PS4 are up from last week. The baseline is the same as lw
Switch: 39500
PS4: 18003

 

It's pretty interesting. Both PS4 and Switch are going up the last weeks. This week not even something new released at all, and they are up. Are we already moving into higher momentum towards the end of the year? This is exiting. Thanks for your graphs by the way, very informative. And clearly shows every time how big Monster Hunter World is.
