So this was my first shot at creating my own table for the HW figures. I *think* it's all accurate but will recheck as more data releases from other sources. Will also update SW top 10/30 as more data becomes available.

Decent start for Lost Judgment.
The first game in the series debuted to just over 153,000 sales so there was a little bit less drop off than I expected. Although physical sales of Lost Judgment will probably be more front loaded.

Also best wishes to the next 15 pages of commentators. May your observations be excellent and your theories accurate.



42k for Kakarot is a surprise with it been a late port I was expecting nowhere near that number selling half of what the PS4 did last year.
Lost Judgement is decent fairly flat on the first game.



Switch 2021 dipping to 90K under 2020. This is going to make October and the holiday season really interesting to follow, I believe 2021 can make up lost ground.



Signature goes here!

Steady stream of releases will improve PS5 software and hardware sales.

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

I've been told there are some loteries in Japan to get an OLED model, so I guess the oled launch week will be very impressive



Actually table in the OP has the same data, so that should be enough.

What are the upcoming games for PS5 that are prospective sellers in Japan? Anyone have a list with dates?

FIFA 22 - Oct 1st

Far Cry 6 - Oct 7th

Doki Doki Literature Club! - Oct 7th

Back 4 Blood - Oct 8th

Demon Slayer - Oct 14th

Monark - Oct 14th

Call of Duty Vanguard - Nov 5th

Battlefield 2042 - Nov 19th

Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth - Dec 16th

Maybe I'm missing some but those are the games that are currently in the Top 100 for PS5 on Amazon.co.jp 

Basically, Demon Slayer, Call of Duty Venguard & Battlefield 2042 are the highest-profile ones, it will be interesting how much of a decline Western games experience this fall. 

Far Cry 5 - 81.405 / 147.573

FIFA 21 - 39.152 / 60.129

Battlefield V - 98.105 / 209.464

[PS4] Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War -  84.475 / 167.418

[PS5] Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War - 6.045 / 6.045
