NS2 crosses 2 million for the second time! :D

PS5 Digital Edition crosses 1 million units!

Is this the bestselling digital only sku in Japan?

How much did the PSP Go sell?

DK Bananza continues to show the potential to become a big evergreen hit.

Very curious to see how Borderlands and other third parties perform on S2.

There's a lot of sentiment about franchises like Resident Evil etc declining because they were stuck on Playstation but I kinda suspect it was the other way round. Playstation hardware decline and newer baseline (8-9m LT) is more a reflection of Japans lack of interest in most modern "AAA" titles

Switch 1 HW sales seem to be hovering around 20k-ish for the past several weeks. Looks like that is the new baseline.

I hope that the PS5 can maintain sales above 20,000 until the launch of Ghost of Yotei.

Switch 2 needs more stock !!!
DK slaying, love it

Yeah i'm a firm believer that the reason why games like Resident Evil or Final Fantasy used to sell much more 20-30 years ago in Japan compared to today is mostly because Japanese gaming tastes have changed a lot over the years.

I mean if we go back to the time when those kinds of games were at their peak popularity in Japan (PS1 + PS2 generation), Animal Crossing was a low selling, ultra niche game on the N64 in Japan. While nowadays a game like Animal Crossing is the best selling game ever in Japan. That shows how much of Nintendo's success has come organically from Japanese gamers in general just shifting a lot when it comes to what kinds of games they enjoy. We see the same trend when it comes to Pikmin, used to be ultra niche and low selling in Japan and now sell more than FF/RE there.
