Last week's thread: Famitsu sales: Week 49, 2021 - (29th Nov - 5th Dec) (vgchartz.com)

Big Switch milestones:

Animal Crossing passes 7M physical
Pokemon BD/SP passes 2M physical

Shortages hitting all consoles. Switch/PS5 down WoW; XBS up a bit but still far below previous weeks.

Again no shipments for either PS5/XSX for Japan.

All time low for PS5 again.

Big Brain Academy second week drop is phenomenal and Momotaro is back.

Ouch at PS5 sales. Switch was 98,75% of all consoles sold in Japan last week, that's insane. Still below 2020 though.

Big Brain Academy is going to be interesting to follow, one of the smallest week 2 drop I've seen.

PS5 stock better ramp up for the second half of December and first half of January since increasingly falling behind the PS4 is gonna look terrible to developers and some Japanese people will eventually give up on getting one.

PS5 is flatlining Xbox-style during the month that's supposed to bring the big sales numbers. That's a pretty big oof.

Mario Party SS holding firmly on to second spot, hopefully it can shift 65k to 70k next week.

I know we use the low stock argument a lot, but at some point, you need ask the question: what is Sony’s strategy at this point ?

Also Momotaro sticking around the top 10 one year on, very unusual for a third party game to be an evergreen title.
