Forums - Sales Discussion - Famitsu sales: Week 22, 2022 - (23rd May - 29th May)

25 % OLED model drop seems a bit unnatural. Regular model is 20 % up, so I assume some shortages of the OLED model again.



Around the Network

Minecraft is up 15%. That game will never stop selling,



I suppose the Series S had lower stock this week?



Wow... PS5 down 100k YTD but XBS is up 70k YTD. So far XBS has nearly doubled the XBO LTD

GT7 is fighting hard to make a comeback.



The GotY didn't go down to 31k as I expected, good going Switch Sports.
And eBaseball still did not double it's sales wrt PS4, it was 3k shy of doing so.

But what about the Horizon bundle!?! There was no effect on hardware, just with GT?

Is there any reason it's back up in the charts this week?



Signature goes here!

I think we're finally reaching a point where there enough PS5s in Japan for its flagship titles to re-renter the top 30 on a whim. It'll be another year before the software starts looking healthy on the physical sales front. And yeah, not expecting it to stay down YOY for the rest of 2022 but I'd expect it to get worse before it gets better. There were weeks last holiday where it only managed to sell 1k, so making up 100-150k won't be that hard.
