does that change anything about the actual amount sold? |
Of course it does.
There are only so many physical units that can be purchased. If an item is hard to find at physical stores due to high sell through then it will sell less copies than if it was easier to find at physical stores. That's fairly obvious is it not?

So because limited supply the actual units sold isnt equal to what is sold this week?

I'm having trouble understanding you. My commentary is clearly regarding "why" I think the PS4 version sold what it did in its 2nd week after its initial week had a 80-100% sellthrough. The numbers are factual points of data. They are stringent. I'm not petitioning for the numbers to be edited which I think is what your asking above. The discussion of this thread is typically discussing the "why" of the numbers, is it not?

I misunderstood your original post, and read it as imagine what the numbers would have been without supply issue.

I made a thread of Metroid Dread outselling Demon slayer a month back. Was laughed out. Now watch me next week ?
At the end of the day Demon Slayer is a 3D anime fighter, pretty much looking like Naruto storm. It was never going to be somehow break out of that.
If it was an RPG or even Musou there might have been higher expectations.

I don't remember seeing that thread. Were you referring to first week or lifetime sales?
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6
My Threads:
Master Thread, Game of the Year/Decade
Switch Will Be #1 All Time
Zelda Will Outsell Mario (Achieved)
How Much Will MH Rise sell?
My Bet With Metallox

I thought I made one here too. It was on Resetera. I basically was saying lifetime (ship+digital) but it was in the Famitsu threads and I made a thread asking everyone what they think would win. It’s a good read I’ll post it here ?

Well..... I’m on Installbase right now ?
| Megiddo said: Demon Slayer spent 5 days in the #1 slot. It's kind of amusing to see that sort of commentary from people who clearly haven't been doing even the bare minimum of position tracking. It will easily surpass Lost Judgment's initial week, lmao. |
| InkIt said: Using amazon jp at that, a store that famitsu doesn't even track. |
The COMG result just came out:
103 points for Demon Slayer
176 points for Lost Judgement
Even with a best case scenario the game might not surpass 120K first week, Lost Judgement managed 145K
So now with both Amazon.co.jp and COMG confirming the trends we observed with pre-orders/launch perhaps I might end up right.
In terms of it being a casual IP it might have done well if it was on the Switch, for a long time few casual games have done well on the PS ecosystem especially games that are popular among kids and women, that audience is severally lacking on the PS and few games cater to them.
Also next time you are tracking Amazon.co.jp keep track of two things does it go out of stock and how long a game remains 1st place after it launches, if it's already declining by Sunday it means sales were front-ended and demand is already pretty much satisfied. Metroid as an example managed to keep it's first place into Tuesday of it's second week, meaning that demand wasn't entirely satisfied and it even went out of stock. It's probable that Dread outsold the PS5 version of Demon Slayer and will easily surpass the lifetime sales of both version when it's all said and done.
Momotaro was a very casual IP didn't stop it from charting very high on Amazon.co.jp for a very long time after it launched,
