2021 crosses the 2m mark one week ahead of 2020. The sales of the next three weeks combined should result roughly in a tie between 2020 and 2021.

FTFY regarding W18/19



Around the Network

Xbox Series manages to outsell the discontinued 3DS this week, and interestingly sales of the Series S are almost three times higher than Series X.

I wonder if this is indicative of Series X being in short supply, or the Japanese penchant for smaller devices.

We know the most shorten in supplies thus far has been the Series X so it would come to mind that some people would give up for further stocks and take the more available SKU.

Hard to believe its sold out when it sold just 140 units in the entire country for the week.

PS4 - 35

NSW - 15

TOTAL: 27.007.922

PS4 TOTAL: 16.435.268

NSW TOTAL: 10.572.654

This is the only Top 50 where the PS4 still has a lead over the Switch, as Third Party support has taken a long time to arrive on the Switch, but with Monster Hunter Rise & Momotaro launching, titles that have already made the list slowly selling more and more copies over time, while we have a very strong streak of games that should displace everything between 41-50 position in the next five months. Sakuna, Fitness Boxing 2 & Human Fall Flat are on their way to surpass 200K, While Rune Factory 5, Baseball Spirits, Yo-Gi-Oh, Shin-Kun, SMT V, Monster Hunter Stories 2 will join them. 

TOTAL SQUARE ENIX: 7.263.548

PS4 SQUARE ENIX: 6.319.218 

NSW SQUARE ENIX: 944.330

Square hasn't really invested in a major way on the Switch, so they are going to experience a sharp decline in their fortunes as they lose market share to Capcom & Konami in Japan. 

TOTAL CAPCOM: 6.460.796

PS4 CAPCOM: 4.197.072

NSW CAPCOM: 2.263.724

Capcom has not come around and should catch up to the PS4 total by the end of the year, as Resident Evil: Village probably won't surpass 200K on the PS4. Rise, Stories 2 and Ace Attorney with a potential Resident Evil game next year is a big pivot for them.  

TOTAL KONAMI: 3.896.517

PS4 KONAMI: 963.631

NSW KONAMI: 2.932.886

Konami were exiting the gaming business but with their other ventures impacted negatively during COVID, it seems they are investing even more resources in the Switch in 2021, potentially Winning Eleven, Baseball Spirits, Momotaro & Yu-Gi-Oh can propel them beyond 6 million software in the chart. 

TOTAL BANDAI NAMCO: 1.605.840

PS4 BANDAI NAMCO: 440.914

NSW BANDAI NAMCO: 1.164.926

Bandai have regressed after finding great hits with Fishing Spirits and Taiko their market share is shrinking due to the exclusivity they've decided to impose for a lot of their games. Marvelous or Koei are definitely in a better position than them this year. 



Anyone recall why Switch got a big boost week 32 last year? Or was it just more supply.

Easily supply, came off of 2 weeks of sub 30k, then if you notice GW had 115k and dropped to 45k following week



At this rate, Monster Hunter Rise should outsell World on PS4 by July.



Rush  Battles will be big.

Pretty much sold out, scalper prices are still super high in Japan as well. 

Plus there's something wrong with famitsu tracking, 3 weeks ago Amazon jp got a big shipment of series S's making it first on the ranking for a while.. and that week shown 30 units sold, highly doubt 30 units is all it takes to beat MonHun and so on.
