BDSP is ahead of SWSH by 15 points days aligned.
To me it doesn't seem that The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki will be able to debut higher than 50K on the PS4... another decline for Falcom and considering this franchise is extremely front loaded it won't be a small one I can see it being 25% or more.
A far cry from the numbers they were doing during the PSP, PSV & PS3 days where the franchise regularly achieved over 200K lifetime sales in Japan. We can trace this pretty much the moment Sony dropped PSV and had devs transition all their efforts to the PS4. With the software performance - PS5 is unlikely to be able to support even a 50K Falcom game.

Great research work, man.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Barely. These are yearly releases. The drops we are seeing from entry to entry are probably bigger than the growth of digital. The real decline is expected to happen when Falcom pivots to PS5. |
the software sales in East Asia for Ps5 seem abysmal. Uk and Spain have had the best performance so far.
the problem with sony numbers is when lumping together ps4 and ps5 the analytics go for only conjecture.
How many points did Hajimari no Kiseki have for pre-orders and how many points for the first week? Should be pretty easy to tell where Kuro will fall when comparing those numbers.
Hoping Lost Judgment can have a solid debut.
Good to see Fatal Frame, will likely sell more than on the Wii U. Curious to see wether the PS4 version will show up here.

I really hope Fatal Frame does well, the future of the series could depend on it as it hasn't been selling well for a long time.
