Are there any other PS5 games to be released soonish, which could do an at least decent amount of points in the Charts? Only seeing Soul Hackers with 153 days to go is a bit sad.

Don't forget Splatoon 3, that's bound to rack up some serious numbers.

Kirby with a whopping 523p. Looking good so far…

523 is huge. Seems like Kirby will be bigger than I had expected - until the ratio is very bad. With the same ratio as Star Allies it would be roughly 350k. So 400k should be very possible, maybe even much more. Looking forward to thursday. :D

Kirby will have massive legs, so a big FW is all the better.

I checked many Nintendo first party games and after 2020 almost all have had the better ratio of 1p:1k. Then I checked for 2019 games and lowest was 83% of 1k.

So worse case imo 80% it will still be over 400k. Here is some for negative ratios for KFL

95%: 497k+
90%: 470k+
85%: 444k+
80%: 418k+ never been this low since 2019)
75%: 392k+

All those 0000000000000000000000

What about Switch Sports?

Switch Sports is not a game that will get a lot of pre-orders and likely won't have all that high of first week sales but will have very good legs and sell a ton during Obon/Xmas.

Woohoo! Watch those numbers fly!
