Wow not just the software, but the hardware sales for Famitsu and Mediacreate are very different.
Famitsu (Aug. 29 - Oct. 2)
Switch - 565,559
PS5 - 81,934
Xbox Series - 45,217

Mediacreate (Aug. 29 - Oct. 2)
Switch - 465,362
PS5 - 67,632
Xbox Series - 28,215

I'm guessing Famitu includes online sales like Amazon, and Mediacreate is purely retail sales? Idk just a speculation

Could be because all the consoles are much higher for Famitsu.

I agree that does make sense. Plus there is already a decent size gap between Nintendo's shipped figures for Japan and Famitsu's figures for the Switch. Though, I am guessing that comes down to people importing them to other countries in Asia.

I post and adjust the VGChartz hardware estimates, with help from Machina.

100k should be easy then because there is 12 weeks left in the year.

Switch close to double its number from this week last year, Xbox showing serious brand growth still, surprised so many people still buy FIFA Lazy Edition.
