Forums - Sales Discussion - Famitsu sales: Week 16, 2022 - (11th Apr - 17th Apr)

Not bad for 13 Sentinels, considering it's a two year old port of a niche game.
And nice to see Kirby still holding strong at #1.

Wonder how long before the Xbox series surpasses PS5

Can only happen if Sony doesn't have any stock in Japan. Without supply issues, ps5 would outsell switch for weeks even months

Worldwide, i can see it. Japan? Never, just look at the game sales.

The ps5 sale for software is abysmal, ps5 outsells for months only occur when Nintendo will have a new platform or Switch really saturated the market. 32+ million in Japan.

Weeks may occur.

Yes Japan. If Sony ship 60-70k weekly I can see them selling out for many weeks then it would slow down after.

Switch sale: Lite and OG: same, OLED: lower, shortage it is. If Nin ship more OLED units weekly I can see PS5 never outsell Switch even once.

Nah if Sony decides to ship 200k next week it would sell out too. I don't think switch can sell 200k even if there's no oled shortages which I don't think there is

I'm very sure if Sony would ship 200k PS5 to Japan, they'll have enough stock for at least an entire month and not sell them in just a week.

Also, care to explain why you don't think there being any Switch shortages in Japan?
