  • Software will surpass 5 million next week, while hardware will probably end up very close to last year's result
  • As mentioned earlier we didn't witness huge YoY growth for Ring Fit only because Nintendo didn't priortize Japan
  • Despite no title of Sword / Shield scope, the 3 million the game achieved would actually be matched by the higher overall results of 2020
  • Sakuna' stock this week was below 6.6K which was suprising


Around the Network

The Neptunia PS5 game that came out this week didn't chart at all.

RIP Playstation 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Damn that's a near shut out. 29/30 games for NSW. Cyberpunk is only in there, because it was a new game the previous week. It does seem like a true shut out is coming next week.



Around the Network

hory sheit! Bresu of ze wyrudu is at 1.7m :O and I did not notice how well Pikmin was doing until now :D



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

With at least 1 big holiday title, Nintendo could have easily set records, or at a bare minimum maintained the momentum.

However their holiday lineup consisted of:
- Mario ports collection
- Zelda spinoff
- Mario Kart Toy bundled with an app
- Pikmin port

This translated to sales directly, not even one of them was able to sell a measly 500k. Too bad.

Proud poster of the 10000th reply at the Official Smash Bros Update Thread.

tag - "I wouldn't trust gamespot, even if it was a live comparison."

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Is the Switch still supply constrained in Japan? These past few weeks disappointed a little.

Now I can’t help but wonder if Momotaro will be able to take the #1 spot here just before Monster Hunter arrives.
