Really impressive sales for Little Nightmares II. I wonder if other AA title "It Takes Two" can perform equally well

If a dev is focused on japanese customers and at this point not also releasing on PC or Switch, they basically are killing their own studio. |
We had a direct this week and I haven't seen many big JP titles coming soon. Maybe next year

Koei and Square were extraordinarily present in this direct. They both also look into the international markets as well as their home market japan, and they both decided to put a lot of eggs into the Switch basket.

There's no PS5 game that justifies such high sales so long after its respective release date. If you look at the table posted by @TruckOSaurus , you'll see that we are basically still in the phase of launch demand for the hardware, meaning a lot of sales go to people who buy a PS5 for the sake of owning a PS5. PS5 sales will begin to become more software-driven once we get past 400k LTD and begin to approach 500k. That is to say, weekly sales will drop to low to mid four-digit figures, because noteworthy PS5 releases will be scarce. |
So I guess these launch systems appeal to tech enthusiasts and conspicuous consumption? I.e. people buy a PS5 just to have it look nice on the shelf and that's it? I was guessing that they were using it for backwards compatibility, but I suppose the PS4 didn't really launch with any notable games or backwards compatibility and people still bought it anyway. Heh, it is funny to me that there is a market for consoles that don't have any games that people want to play.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

It's unbelievable that Momotaro sold more within 3 months than BOTW in 4 years.

There were quite a few japanese devs in the Direct, and some exclusives only for Japan.
SM3DW+BF did extremely well,
Fantastic numbers for Switch too, almost every week this year above 100k so far, simply insane.

The Japanese Directs usually feature a few games that never leave Japan. We never see them in our Directs. This one was no different. I don't understand what they are saying, but I think they are getting an Ebaseball and Story of Seasons game soon, maybe a couple of other games mentioned will be decent sellers and of course there is Monster Hunter which should definitely not be ignored.
