Do we have a running record of how many times a given console has had the full top 10 and top 30?

I would like to know this as well because the Switch’s dominance seems completely unprecedented. 

it’s the perfect console for the Japanese market, and on top of that Nintendo is completely unapologetic about their Japanese roots (as they should be)

Xbox Series X|S continues strong sales for an Xbox console. This is through May for the Xbox Series X|S, but here are lifetime Xbox console sales in Japan.

Can these by the types of charts we see when it comes to the other regions like EU and NA? I think they really help paint the picture of a platform when compared against itself (previous iterations). Id love to see one of PS3 / 4 / 5.



266 That's how many units separates PS5 From Xbox Series X|S this week.

CY Q1+Q2=H1
2022: 1358K + 840K = 2198K
2021: 1745K + 1256K = 3001K
2020: 1700K + 967K = 2667K
2019: 969K + 515K = 1484K
2018: 671K + 497K = 1186K
2017: 557K + 484K = 1041K

Switch sells 840K for the quarter and 2.2m for H1. Realistically I am hoping for 800k in Q3 and 1.8m for Q4 for a 2022 total of 4.8m. I think splatoon 3 will save Q3 and of course Pokemon can help Switch achieve a decent Q4.

As a proportion of sales the first half is this much:

2021: 53%

2020: 45%

2019: 33%

2018: 34%

2017: 31%

AVG: 39%

As one can see, the first half has only gotten stronger over the years. If we use the average for Switch then

2022: 5.8m

But that is definitely unrealistic with the current trend in sales. I will add another post later about that.



Decent opening for Three Hopes, and nice to see hardware rise across the board, even if mildly.
Switch Sports developing some nice legs, fittingly for its content.

This 9-Nine that just released for PS4 and Switch... Does it includes all episodes from the PC version?

That is some of the weakest PS5 sales in Japan and it still outsold xbox...sad numbers both.

Not even close to the weakest, it has dipped to around 1k a few times.
