EDF5 2nd week is a lot above my expectations. D3 partying hard atm I think.
Xeno 2 still having decent legs.

Digimon sales are awful, no way to spin that. End of year was especially competitive this time in Japan and maybe it suffered from that.

Hopefully developers can the potential on selling on both consoles. I don’t see how these smaller Vita and PS4 games could have too much of a problem running on the Switch.

this is an amazing week for Nintendo! I’m glad ARMS came back into the top 20. It’s a really good game that’s getting more content and the tournament scene in Japan appears to be pretty cool. Hopefully it’ll do well in EVO Japan. Congrats to Odyssey for being the best selling 3D Mario in Japan at this current pace. And Xenoblade 2 is hanging in there pretty well too.

Why is the PS4 selling higher than usual? Is this the build up to MHW?

Its the holidays bro! 1 week before the biggest week

Nintendo gets almost 80% market share again. Switch owning and 3DS is still kickin'.
Xenoblade still hanging in there on week three. Let's hope it will have better legs than "X".

It's about which sells the most. That's the primary reason for support. When the Switch in Japan has more than double the sales of the PS4 in a few years, you can be 100% sure that the Switch will get more support than the PS4.

Of course there are exceptions to the rule, for example the attitude Falcom has displayed is one of loyalty to Sony (which it has a close relationship with since the PS1). The same can be said for certain studios and Nintendo. Some will simply not switch sides out of pure loyalty and not burning bridges in favor of making new ones. 

And lastly, there will surely be exceptions of titles that do break the exclusivity rule, like Valkyria or Inazuma Eleven. Or of course outright buying exclusivity like Sony has done with certain titles or Nintendo has done with Bayonetta.

Xenoblade 2 had to sell over 160k to become the best selling Xenoblade title there. Including digital, you can bet that it will break that number before years end.

It is hillarious that people will argue against a Switch Phone or PS4 Phone when you see these kind of sales for the Switch. Sony and Nintendo would own the Mobile market in Japan if they made any attempt at it. Hopefully one of them will break out of their shell and give consumers an option in the mobile industry outside of the stagnate duopoly.

In other news, hope PS4 can hold on and increase Year over Year. It is going to be very interesting to see how much Monster Hunter can do early next year. If sales start to slip next year Sony will have to look into a mobile PS4 option for 2019, at least for Japan, the PS5 ain't gonna cut it there if PS4 is going to fail to reach 10 Million lifetime.

Until the day it happens, or I die. If I didn't have to carry around a Phone and a Handheld every day thanks to Skype being killed off in Vita Firmware 3.65, then it may not be at the front of my mind. Unfortunately, that reminds me every day how bad the mobile indursty has stagnated, and actually become worse in the last decade.
