I never played a paper mario game, but might get this out of boredom. Also, RFA doesn't have any digital sales. If other games had digital sales, RFA would be relatively a lot lower on the chart.

I’m curious how many digital sales RFA has as of now.

Even the digital version is out of stock and on the lottery system at the Nintendo Online Store, presumably because they still have to mail you the Ring controller and leg band.

NSW - 23

PS4 - 7


NSW - 23 (8 of which are third party)
PS4 - 7 (4 of which are third party)

Switch has 8/12 = 67% of third party titles this week.  Switch third party titles continue to dominate PS4 third party titles in the top 30 as they have for the past several weeks.  New titles came and went from the top 30 on both systems, but Switch has consistently had 60-80% of the third party titles for the past several weeks.  I expect this to be the norm going forward.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Just checked and Halo 5 charted with 7,4k copies in 2015. Can't think of anything since then that might have charted.

As far as I know the strongest sales week ever for an xbox game in Japan was Tales of Vesperia which debuted at 106k in 2008. Boosted the 360 to a whopping 25k sales that week. Incredible.

Edit: Actually it turns out Star Ocean: The Last Hope beat Vesperia by quite a bit at 164k in 2009. Hardware was around the same though.

Impressive to think the 360 might have competed with the PS3 for a single week during the 7th generation ...

After checking the hardware by date tool, it actually seems like there were around a dozen weeks where the 360 outsold the PS3 in Japan.

Out of several hundreds, but still.

Ghost of Tsushima outsold The Last of Us: Part II in one week. Pretty impressive!



Signature goes here!

I am sorry to hurt in being direct but...Mario Paper is a fail, I see so many of you telling how good it was for this launch...

EVERY other IPs released on Switch managed to outsell their predecessor by minimum +50 or 100% (without digital, it is always without for numbers here with the Switch), and here this Mario Paper only managed to do ~90% of the previous episodes, beating only the WiiU...Not even outselling the poor N64.
