Looks like new shipments arrived. Xbox is also at over 1000, indicating that it too is still supply-limited in Japan.

Yea i know, but i expected them to ship more than that.

Next week will probably have switch outselling the week last year. And MHR will probably have some great legs as well. But can someone tell me why people in Japan are buying ps5s? I'm happy for the PS4 but I can't remember any PS5 game selling well. Is it future-proofing or something?

Seems even Capcom underestimated Monster Hunter Rise, unless there were other factors limiting how many physical copies they could distribute.
How does this compare to the openings for other major Switch games in Japan, how many big first party titles did it beat?

267k is actually the range what Switch sold during holidays last year, so you can't complain... Pokémon Snap, Miitopia, Mario Golf and Skyward Sword should carry the Switch to a weekly bottom of 80-100k in Japan until July.

Nice, so it's the third biggest opening for any Switch game in Japan so far, and very close to #2.

Seeing a third party game open bigger than the likes of Splatoon 2 or Smash is really something.

Seems that Capcom “under shipped” physical copies so people had to buy the digital copy and they can make more profit.

Clever Capcom.

And MHR did similar numbers compared to MHW, interesting.

People are buying and playing games for sure. But when the 800 GB SSD is empty, I think digital is encouraged. I mean look at MH Rise, Switch has tiny HD space but even it had a high digital rate. I can imagine most early adopters also have a backlog of PS4 games.

I was just about to post this. I wouldn't put this past Capcom with their stated goals for digital software sales.
