Christmas is here!

That means Nintendo, but this week PlayStation had great presence. There were a lot of releases like Yakuza or EDF. MH:World bundle was available for reservations at stores. We need to remember how it destroyed e-commerce sites some weeks ago. This time, it's not like that. PlayStation 4 should see a great increase, and now we have this campaign with Everybody's Golf, even more.

Nintendo is not shipping enough Switch units this week. Still with lotteries. Don't know exactly why but it might be, because this is a strong PS4 week and Switch release in other Asian markets. However, software is the opposite. Stores have Switch games always as "osusume" or recommendation for the season. The biggest ones: Mario, Splatoon, etc., and mid-low tier like Pokkén, Dragon Ball, ARMS are included as well. Stores are getting a lot of Super Famicom Mini units. Seems we won't have problems to satisfy the demand with that hardware.

For those who love discounted games in Japan. This time, PS3 software.

Dynasty Warriors 9!!

Monster Hunter is really picking up some steam the last couple of days/week. Hope ratios translate well for game.

I really miss Trestres release threads (Japan).

500 points for monster hunter world!

Very intrigued to see how the MH bundle will do. Not too often are there bundles for games that aren't yet.

No Nintendo games, that doesnt happen often.

Also Monster Hunter World LE ¥17,258 is that the most expensive game ever on this list? I done the calculations thats like $150 nearly as much as a console

500 points for monster hunter, nice;)
