I didn't realise Battlefield was so big in Japan. The next entry being next gen is a nice addition to PS5's fall line up.

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

Week 32 didnt have any prior weeks of low supply.

My bad I thought we were talking about current weeks lol. The week your talking about is the summer holiday in japan, called Obon Week. That’s the boost you see

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

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. 

Famitsu doesn't track Amazon afaik.

At least Switch supply seems relatively healthy this week, with the hybrid model well above the Lite.

Xbox series was in stock for a couple minutes, enough to invade the top rankings, but considering famitsu doesn’t track it.. it won’t show on these threads.

A shame considering most Xbox sales are online as many stores simply don’t carry Xbox’s to begin with, so a big % of the sales aren’t tracked at all by famitsu.
