PS5 sales increasing slightly again. Never would have predicted this after RE4 week disappointed. What explanation is there for this other than their not being stock for Week 13/14? I see some say here and on other sites that there were no stock issues in Japan but I don't see another explanation for RE4 launch not increasing sales and then randomly they get a sizeable rebound afterwards.

Week 11 - 64,869
Week 12 - 40,411
Week 13 - 38,964 (RE4 Launch)
Week 14 - 34,677
Week 15 - 46,205
Week 16 - 47,040 

Seems to me like the PS5 may have had problems with stock starting week 12 when it had a big drop of over 30%, and then no boost for RE4 the week after. But If anyone has other ideas about how this might not be a stock issue as people claim I would like to hear them.

Switch sales are the lowest week this year but YoY wise they are better than this year so far, only a 20% drop, so a pretty decent result.

This is Xbox Series worst week since January 2022.

PS5 has now passed the lifetime sales of the WiiU and should pass Gamecubes final total by the end of the year.

The only explanation for the xbox selling so little is that famitsu made a mistake in past sales and is now trying to fix it.



Rumor has it the Megaman Battle Network doesnt actually have box art rather its just the title.

edit: :( the wall of text for a title is gone

Amazon Japan has PS5 out of stock again.



Actually a nice launch for the Meganan Battle Network collection 👍

The Switch despite a low week is doing a better 16th week than it did during it's first 4 years lol. Averaging less than last year but it still far from the lowest thus far.

Also Kirby still amongst the popular choices. Can't wait to see the results for the first Q1. Prolly beat the original release Lifetime sales in the matter of a single month

I think we can now say objectively that PS5 sales are still a direct function function of available stock.
