Hardware sales

Last week's thread: Famitsu sales: Week 8, 2022 - (14th Feb - 20th Feb) (vgchartz.com)

Wasn't expecting those numbers for Elden Ring. A shame there's no PS5 stock to benefit from the huge release

Horizon>Elden>GT7 week after week would have resulted in a massive surge in hardware.

PS5 software shows sign of life yet there is no hardware stock to capitalize on it. Bummer.

Really good numbers for Elden Ring on both consoles. And it looks like it’ll be the first PS5 title to finally pass the 100K mark (which is great and sad at the same time given it’s been more than a full year for a title to finally reach that mark).

And to piggyback what Otter said, you’d think this would be the best stretch for the PS5 to gain any semblance of momentum. I know stock and going out to other regions is an issue, but it’s kind of a bummer when seeing these big numbers be almost like a rarity for PS in Japan nowadays.

Big drop for Touken Ranbu Warriors, though I’m not sure if I should be surprised or not. It’s a warriors game and their track record for legs isn’t all that great to begin with I believe?

Arceus seems to be holding its own really well. Will be interesting to see how much more can it sell especially now that Gen 9 is a thing.

Feels a bit dissapointing on all fronts, HW/SW. Expected the potential of Elden Ring to be much higher.

Those are really strong numbers for Elden Ring. I personally think that is indicative of how well it's going to do worldwide. I would not be surprised if lifetime worldwide sales double the previous best selling From Software title.

On the other hand Touken Ranbu Warriors and Horizon Forbidden West both had huge drops this week, even though their first week sales were pretty good. The apparent frontloading of sales is probably due to being overshadowed by Elden Ring. Any word of mouth that would have generated second weeks sales mostly went to Elden Ring buzz instead.

I think if The Xbox Series X|S keeps this up it has a chance to become the best selling Xbox in Japan. 

The Xbox Series X|S in Japan outsold the Xbox One and will Likely outsell the OG Xbox by the end of the year.

The 360 will be the hard one but in time it might beat it.

HW sales down all around. Stock issues I suppose. Switch a bit low and PS5 very low considering it just got two of its biggest games yet this week and last week.

Pre-launch I predicted up to 1m for Xbox Series, I really don't think it can beat 360, but 1m would still be amazing numbers.

@OP,

04./00. [PS4] Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream # <RPG> (Koei Tecmo) {2022.02.24} (¥7.800) - 22.104 / NEW
05./00. [NSW] Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream # <RPG> (Koei Tecmo) {2022.02.24} (¥7.800) - 18.912 / NEW

Another win for PS4. It is just so confusing, because Koei Tecmo has supported the Switch so well since the beginning. But even a same day launch and the PS4 version eeks out wins. Surely the install base of NSW will enable it to have better legs at least.

Where did you get that Xbox One number from? Famitsu has it much lower.
