Amazon yearly charts update (6 days since last update):

SSBU: 4 (+7)
Super Mario Party: 29 (+9)
Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu: 53 (+15)
Pokémon Let's Go Eevee: 74 (+22)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy PS4: 92 (+2)
Kingdom Hearts III: 96 (NEW)
Fallout 76 PS4: 97 (NEW)
Metroid Prime 4: 98 (NEW)
Dark Souls Remastered Switch: 99 (RE)


Big Pushs from Smash and Pokémon, and to a lesser degree, Super Mario Party. Spyro seems to fizzle out a bit, while finally some more games are entering the preorder charts. Kingdom Hearts III and Fallout 76 had been widely awaited, but seeing Metroid Prime 4 already is pretty surprising. Dark Souls Remastered Switch version is also surprising, considering it dropped out unceremoniously 2 months ago and the PS4 version, which is already released, dropped out a couple days ago

Huh, 3 SKUs just wiped off of Amazon. Spider-man is obvious, but what are the other two?

Preorder bonus system was changed yesterday so everybody started preordering everything that they were interested in.

Edit: or were you referring to the unavailable SKU images?

Unless i'm missing something, it would seem they're still available, I checked all 3. I don't know why they don't show up in Nero's image.

Edit: nvm I only checked 1 apparently. I don't know what the other 2 SKU's are.

First time I see that image in the list. About the SKU images. Now they're up. It was spider-man, dragon quest and pokemon Eevee

Spiderman number 1 on amazon. Not even puddle gate can stop the hype.

On amazon Japan its number 1 too with 2 and 3 going to pro evo and dragon quest builders 2 ps4 version.

Going to check all the other regional sites. I imagine spiderman is dominating universally.

Ah there it is, kind of refreshing seeing a game releasing soon as #1 instead of a game releasing in frikkin December.

Spidey looks good.

Spiderman takes the top spot one week from release.
Also I think Mario Kart Wii appearing is a strong sign that the chart has slowed down.

I'd say the fact that CoD MW2 for the 360 charting was a dead giveaway already for me

Looking at Dragon Quest release date in the US makes me think it's going to get the short end of the stick with Spiderman releasing just 3 days after it's release in the market.

Expecting something around Ni no Kuni 2 numbers.

DQ fans seem to be connected to Nintendo platforms. Square Enix did not release the Switch version at the same time, it was a mistake. The version of the 3DS, it seems that was not very well made, was the one that held the sales in Japan, everything because Horii wanted a version on the consoles of Sony. If you had released a Switch / 3DS / PC version would be more successful. With simultaneous launches in several regions. The capcom did the right thing and launched at the same time in several regions and is reaping the fruits of the right decision, it just was not right because there was no version in the Switch.
