Still about half of the initial Labo shipment is on the shelves judging by previous Famitsu reports. If it's a big holiday seller it didn't seem like it for Golden Week at least.



So Labo combined sales are closing in on 200k in Japan, that's not too shabby. Kirby is still a beast, DK hits top spot and Arms hits 400k. Nice hardware numbers for Switch too.



PS4 got zero boost from golden week.

Is it still supply constraint? Also none of its software got a boost.

Not sure if you just lack basic reasoning skills or have the memory of a goldfish, but when the PS4 was supply constrained it was only selling 10-15k units a week. So no, by selling 3x what it was selling when supply constrained it's obviously not currently supply constrained.

I was told PS4 just got new stock not a boost from the baseball game last week.

now it got new stock + golden week and it’s selling the exact same.

what is the truth?

The truth that we want to know is what alt are you?

But ill play along.  Maybe people bought the PS4 last week in fear of it being sold out during golden week (due to stock issues throughout March and April) and when golden week came around sales were steady due to supply being ample, if the PS4 supply situation was correct this week, we would have seen a 10k to a 60k change instead of 70k over two weeks.

Almost 200k for now is good regardless Labo stock.

Is there something wrong with your brain? Both weeks it sold ~35k. That's the truth. Do you not know how to read numbers? The demand, after a long duration of being supply constrained rose. It will fall again back to a more reasonable 20-25k. That's how sales work.
