Nice XBS sales.
Pretty average for everything else.



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

Ghost of Tsushima fell hard.

PS4 and PS5 got nice stock boosts.

Xbox holds steady at it's higher end of the sales spectrum.

Please Watch/Share this video so it gets shown in Hollywood.

Both Tsukihime and NMH III sold better than I expected.
Hardware the same, all three sold better than I thought they would.
XBS having two 5k+ weeks in a row is mighty impressive. Already at 83k.

How long did the XBO take to reach 83k?

Edit: Ok now I'm disappointed in No More Heroes III's performance. It's the lowest debut in the series in Japan.

No More Heroes historical first week performance:

1. No More Heroes: Red Zone Edition (PS3) - 40.050
2. No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise (PS3) - 13.845
3. No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise (XB360) - 13.105
4. No More Heroes (WII) - 13.000
5. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (WII) - 9.463
6. No More Heroes 3 (NSW) - 7.951

This chart is based on last weeks data. So it took Xbox One more than a year at least. Let me go look up the exact figure. 

Edit: XB1 passed 83k the week of November 12th 2017, so it took Xbox One more than 3 years to hit 83k, compared to less than 1 year for Xbox Series. 

Damn, that was terrible.

Here's hoping the XBS can top the og Xbox.



I know people will laugh, but its actually great to see the XBOX doing well in Japan. The 360 was selling these numbers on a average week and that had the market to itself as well as massive investment.



Mario Kart 8 Deluxe not only cleared 4 million sales, but also became the best selling Mario Kart at retail in Japan this week.
Mario Kart DS was the previous leader with 4,006,571 copies sold.
