What Xbox games are japanese people playing?

Hardware sales are nice, but I don't think I ever saw a XSX game at the charts.

These are physical only charts, xbox games aren't released physical aside from first party games (that are on game pass). 

Also most hardware sales you see these days are from a digital only hardware, Series S doesn't have a disc drive. 

To answer your question, xbox is very open about what is being played, enjoy the chart:

The next question is: Will Microsoft continue to supply enough consoles to sell over 10k consistently? So far they sell what they ship but the shipments are low.  Can they consistently ship over 10k and will  they consistently sell them if they do?

The one thing that continues to baffle me on the Famitsu chart is that there are still 3DS systems left to be sold at this point, even a lot more of them than the PS4. The 3DS was discontinued almost 2 years ago, you'd think they'd have gotten through the unsold stock pretty fast.

It isn't a huge amount these days, but when 3DS was discontinued I imagine Nintendo/ retailers overshipped. Same thing will happen for the Switch.

Seeing Xbox over 10k in Japan is just surreal. Really interested to see how the Series goes lifetime in Japan, they've made a real turnaround from around a decade of being essentially irrelevant.

Switch on cruise control with Switch Sports and Kirby showing excellent stamina and ebaseball also doing nicely on Nintendo's system.

Back in December 31 XC2 had sold 156,717 copies physically and  260k copies in total in Japan. Knowing that the game have sold 130k physical copies in Japan since then means that the game have now sold at least 390k copies in Japan.

Elden Ring is out of the top 30, but GT7 is hanging on in spite of all expectation. I thought Elden Ring would be the main title preventing Switch 30/30 weeks, but it may turn out to be GT7. I'm really not sure why it has made this comeback for the past 2 weeks after previously exiting the top 30.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Little Series S proving one more time that there is A LOT more to sales than just "exclusives."

Now, with 8.5k Series S sold in one week, I can't help but wonder what will be the Xbox Series real baseline once the chip shortage has been sorted out.
