Sorry for the bad formatting, I posted this from my phone. I'll clean it up when I can get back to my PC.

I don't know what to make of Metroid Prime Remastered sales. The numbers are not very high but the game was available digitally for almost a month in Japan before the physical release.



Signature goes here!

pokemon showing much more stability than expected even after the bad reviews thats crazy, and switch growing week on week with no strong release, very good after all

PS5 has hit the 3 million mark, that's a pretty nice result, also still a good week for Hogwarts Legacy.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Kirby stays #1 despite new releases.



Prime sales low but I'm guessing Metroid isn't that popular in Japan anyway, and of course it was already available digitally for a few weeks. I guess all the Prime supply issues are in the west and not in japan haha.



Hogwarts Legacy is doing fine, I wonder if it will be able to keep the sales to reach 200k on PS5 before the PS4 and Switch versions come out

Also PS5 really having its Renaissance in Japan

Bold of you to assume the fanbase cares. Pokémon is the most IP review proof right now. I don't think people even care if the games are good or not, it is more about the brand and having fun.
