The calm before the storm.

Switch back to 2:1 over PS4. The ratio next week will be ridiculous with Mario Maker 2 releasing and PS4's Days of Play boost well and truly over. (Unless there's some big PS4 game due out next week I'm unaware of?) Could be 5-6:1 in favour of Switch.

I'm not that worried about Yo-Kai Watch's decline because I believe its sales will come from the west since YW4 feels more catered to us than Japan...as long as Nintendo advertises it. Add to that the disgruntled Pokedex fans and the general positive comments about YW4's graphics, especially when compared to Sw|sh's, and I can see the west picking up the slack for the series' decline in Japan.

Slow week.

Was the PS4 still 5000 yen off or did the promotion end?

This week includes the last day of that promotion.

just Level-5 things

Thanks for making the post. This was a crazy day at work. Here's the info

This week mark the second lowest for the Switch. Next week numbers should be waaay up because of the promo in Amazon Japan.

And especially for the Mario Maker 2 release.

YW4 will be interesting to see next week, seems to be a great return to form, so possibly sales have long tail end this time around.

lol, what are you talking about? Japan was the only country this series was ever popular, it never had a significant following in the Occident. If it even gets released in the West, it's not going to be flying off the shelves because of thousands of disgruntled Pokémon fans running to buy it. That logic is so frankly stupid, 'console war'-tier garbage that people will buy one if they're unhappy with the other, as opposed to just buying neither.

Also, your assertion that the normal Pokémon-buying public at large is angry at the shrunken Pokédex but totally cool with Yo-kai Watch 4 having only 109 yōkai in the game out of like 700 or whatever is weird too.

Hopefully in the west it beats expectation and honestly if there's a bigger importance on the west for the faranchise that could increase the chances of it being ported to PS4.

Any ideas why Zelda Breath of the Wild is constantly selling better than Super Mario Odyssey? I thought a mainline 3D Mario is Nintendo's strongest franchise... Well, the liftetime sales are better than Zelda, but the lags are a bit disappointing.
