So the hardware boost for PS4 wasn't very long-lived; 13k for the week ending May 10th according to the front page.

Also, looks like some regular Switch stock finally made it down the pipeline; 3:1 ratio over the Lite.

fucking ring fit gonna casually going to pull a "on your left" to FF7R is hilarious



Ring Fit is really about to pass the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

And the rise of Ring Fit, don't forget the merits of the game passing it.

Yeesh.  FFVII is doing well.  Almost certainly going to surpass FFXV and very likely to be the best selling game in the series since a decade ago.  Ring Fit's well deserved success takes nothing away from that.

I think 10 weeks is very long lived.  The console has been steady to up YOY since the beginning of March.  At its low point the console was -64% Y/Y at the beginning March, now that number is in the ~-30% range.

Well not quite 10, but I did indeed lose track of how long it had been since FF7R came out with everything that's happened in the last couple months.

There would also have been overlap between the FF7 boost and the pandemic boost, making it hard to tell just how much was which.



Mario Karts getting close to the 3 million club in Japan. 157,000+ new Switch owners and only 2541 want Mario Odyssey, come on new Switch owners!

That's kinda depressing. Odyssey is amazing and deserves better than that.
