Interesting to see Story of Seasons back in the top 30.

Interesting

This week's Famitsu issue had an article on the 20th anniversary release of the Xbox (which is next February in Japan, but whatevs).

Included there was a Top 10 best selling games for the first 3 Xbox platforms and here it is.

According to Famitsu, OG Xbox, Xbox 360 & Xbox One worldwide shipments are of 24m, 85.80m and 49.89m units respectively.

They also mention that Forza Horizon 4 sold 12m units worldwide.

No mention on where any of that data comes from, though.

That second tweet especially is very interesting, xbox one shipment figures are a rarity, even if that is just an estimate.

I would really like to know what their sources are for the XBO and Forza Horizon 4 numbers.

What ever their source is the numbers are very close to what VGC have.

Not much left in terms of releases until the end of the year, Power Pro Kun Pocket R & GTA Trilogy are the highest profile games left for third parties

The main thing to wait for is the official Famitsu Top 100 which should provide an update for a lot of games that continued to sell outside of the Top 30. With this week's numbers we got an update about Olive Town which is now at 309K sales compared to 281K when it last charted in the Top 30. Especially during the holidays lesser evergreens can sell upwards of 50K units in late November/December without making the Top 30. 

Good debut for SMTV, i think it's strenght will be it's NA and Europe numbers compare to previous episodes.

Yeah is an indication of stock. Compare that  to this game that didn't sell a lot.

The is a disrespectful level of supply for the PS5 in Japan.

Here some graphs from Installbase (made by Hiska-kun):
