Disappointed hardware sales. I thought switch would be at least 70k with Kirby and splatoon bundle and ps4 was just awful. Not sure if either had supply issue



Jranation on 21 March 2018

I thought Kirby + Splatoon bundle would make it go over 70k......

How well did Star Allies do compared to other Kirby games?

And I find it surprising that there will be no Handheld dominating in Japan. Just 2 home conoles xD

Sadly that is on Sony supply chain. Switch did a bit lower than what I was expecting but Kirby did more than I was expecting.

Yep, that average hasn't improved much at all. Clearly the only thing that boosts sales for the PS4 in Japan is a much anticipated game or a price drop. The spike and decline in sales following a big release is far starker in Japan than anywhere else, with the exception of MHW. It needs a price cut to sustain a better average in my opinion. 



 

The PS5 Exists.
