Far Cry 6 disppeared so someone must have dropped their pre-order. Kinda weird it can be pre-ordered with no set release date anyway.

It used to have a date, but it was delayed

Monster Hunter uses Direct

It's super-effective!

Still early... 146 days to go.

I'm not really into Zelda, but I think Skyward Sword HD will do good. People are probably way more interested in Breath of the Wild Sequel.

It's a start

How well did the original for the Wii do here on COMG and FW on Famitsu?

Is that even comparable? I mean hasn't COMG numbers declined over the years?

COMG! has declined over the years, true... but skyward sword came at the tail's end of the Wii, which died even quicker in Japan than in the rest of the world (about 40% of all Wii consoles sold in Jpan were sold in the first year). In other words, each other negative effect should cancel out.

So 207 total... that seems achievable to me.

Looks like MHR is slowly starting it's afterburner

Link however isn't going skyward yet

Edit: looks like the stock for the Switch was low again, next famitsu probably ~75k

Japan population was 128 million in 2011 and now is about 126 million and will be rapidly decreasing over the next couple decades. That is mostly felt in their youth as they are getting older and older population wise. Less youth = less gamers. I think estimates are they will shrink to 90 million by 2050. Unless those trends are reversed, Japan will increasingly become less of a factor in the global gaming market.

I really wasn't talking about the Japanese population, I was talking specifically about COMG. I am aware of the decline in the Japanese population, but that wasn't my main point.
