It is not. It's a very small chain of stores (I think 6 or 8 locations) all centralized in the Niigata prefecture, which isn't anywhere near as densely populated as Tokyo.

However there isn't any other brick and mortar store that provides actual units/points in its pre-order ranking table, so its data gets heavy use, particularly in this thread.

Just to add on this, the chain was quite a bit larger in the past and thus was a bit more representative to the general sales and tastes on Japanese people. As a result, the ratio between 1st day sales in the COMGet stores and nationwide keeps getting bigger. 5-6 years ago, a game had normally a ratio of 800-1000 (meaning one out of 800-1000 copies had been sold through COMGet), but nowadays a ratio of 1500-2000 is closer to reality.

Great for Monster Hunter Rise, and still a long way to go.

Momotaro is resisting quite well against the Juggernaut that will be MHR

It looks like NSW stock this week is at the same level as last week; Maybe just slightly up.

Switch massively outpacing its predecessor; seems like there is a real hunger for a traditional entry that can be played on the TV, which is ironic since in Japan it's usually the other way around with portability being a big selling point.

The highest selling Momotaro games were on PS1, Wii, Super Famicom, and PS2. It's pretty much the perfect 'couch-multiplayer' style of game in Japan. So yeah, I'm not surprised that it's outperforming the 3DS pre-order numbers currently.

Just want to point out that ratio is often used for the actual preorder number, so while that looks like a bad ratio the preorder ratio is 132,063 (1971).

Well, with 8 pre-order points for PS4 FIFA 21, I'll be curious to see how its pre-order ratio will be. Just 40,000 first week copies would make it 5000, lol. Also curious to see if it takes advantage of PES/Winning 11 taking a year off with its recent roster update only release.
