The ratio between the Switch regular model and the lite seems to be normal, so no signs for shortages. This is the second lowest week of the year. Are there any reasons?

Amazon OG model supply-constrained( only third sellers above the regular price), like aways.  In Stock only Lite, the majority of models.

No new games this week and the games that released last week wasn't that big.

Switch seems weirdly low compared to its baseline so far this year.



Chicho on 03 June 2021

Lowest week this year still above 70k lowest last was around 25k so this year has been more consistent.

RE8 for PS5 was more or less flat week on week which is great news. The PS5 could finally have a top 30 staple that maintains itself alongside new hardware sales.

Demon's Souls managed to sneak it's way into the top 30 again.  This is another sign that PS5 is actually reaching that critical mass of install base where it can reliably get titles into the top 30 (finally).

RFA is also distinguishing itself as the top first party evergreen in Japan.  Hitting fourth place after this many years is impressive especially since the next best first party evergreen is Mario Kart at #9.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

To be quite frank, you just have to look at this week PS5 sales to see why a launch title like Demon's Souls could pop up. If the numbers staggers next week, so does Demons Souls

That's not always been the case though. In the last week of March, PS5 sold 62K units and had exactly zero games in the top 30.  This has been fueling the theory that most PS5's sold in Japan are going out of the country.  But now that random PS5 games are appearing when sales are high means that actual Japanese residents are getting the consoles now.
