I don't think it ever has.

I heard someone comment this is the first time this has happened since 1988, can anyone confirm/disprove this claim?

  9. ​​​​​Koei Tecmo - 196.196 (1.7%)
  10. Neos - 156.274 ​(1.3%)​​​​​​​

A very slow period for Japan coming up with the only game that should surpass 100K in the next four weeks being Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel. 

PS4/PS5's next major title is Tales of Arise launching in a months time, its looking like it will debut below Tales of Berseria which managed to launch with 160K on the PS4 and 74K on the PS3. So far the biggest debut this year on the PS4/PS5 has been Resident Evil: Village which only managed 111K on the PS4 and 38K on the PS5. I expect Arise to end up above 100K on the PS4 but below 30K on the PS5. With the anemic software performance of the PS5 this is a franchise that will need to look at success overseas to make up it's decline in Japan.

NS - 30/30

Silly Japanese people.  Don't you know that the Switch is doomed?  This table makes it look like every other system is doomed.



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

Huh?



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Finally a 30/30 for Switch. I wonder how high the digital rate for PS5 games is, because its physical software sales are just tragic.

Poor NEO TWEWY :(
