Definitely not Nioh 2. Most if not all who bought Nioh 2 have played the first game and Nioh isnt a system seller late this gen. I think the boost is most likely because of the coronavirus. More people are staying at home.

Yeah it didn't make sense to me that Nioh 2 would cause such a boost, but shouldn't more people staying home mean less people going out to buy consoles?

they are gonna stay home more often than not for the next few months. they can buy household goods on their way home from work or during groceries shopping. im still not sure about the ps4 boost i was only guessing

Nice that DQXIS is back in the top 30. I'm enjoying my time with it so far.

With Foxconn projecting to be back at full production by the end of March, I wonder how long it will take for the shortages to be resolved. Assuming that is that their projections pan out.

ACNH: 1,880,626

Switch HW: 392,576

Now that is a system seller right there.

HOLY FUCK! That is Insane! I guess it reached over 2mil with digital included.
But how did Nintendo managed to get 400k Switches in stores? I thought it still had limited supply.



Pocky Lover Boy!

They saved up for this launch. This is probably all the stock they had.

Think for yourself, question authority

With digital the game could be over 3mil



Wyrdness on 25 March 2020

Digital must surely mean around 3m this means possibly means WW AC had a Pokemon like opening and that NS hit something like 600k WW total, AC is a powerhouse.
