What, an Xbox game in the ranking? For real??

I think people are underestimating  the Mario movie effect. It’s like Pokémon Go for 3DS in 2016.

There's likely something else at play, maybe the Mario Movie had a big impact as well? It came out the same weekend as the Zelda OLED edition in Japan if I remember correctly. Still wouldn't really explain how sales are going up 5 weeks after TotK release. This almost feels like a GameBoy Pokémon moment, where one game reinvigorates interest and sales just keep creeping up. I wonder what the coming weeks are going to look like and how much of an impact Pikmin 4 can make. 

Only thing Stopping the switch is maybe switch 2.

I'm shocked that the Switch is still this high in Japan YoY, selling 100k+ in 1 week on Year 7 with the Switch already having sold near 30M over there!? How hasn't the Switch reached much saturation over there yet?
I expected the boost for Zelda to be there for like 2 weeks but then return to normal since Japan isn't huge into Zelda like other regions and I figured that most people who were into TOTK most likely already own a Switch considering the fact that it already sold nearly 30M there and it's damn near the bestselling console ever in Japan.

But wow did not expect the Switch sales boost to be up nearly 100% YOY weekly a month after TOTK released. Maybe the Mario movie did add an extra boost in hardware, hard to say tho which is more responsible since the movie and TOTK released at around the same time period.

Very surprising

Very bad numbers for PS5 but I feel like a storm is coming. I'm predicting it will average 100k for the next 3 weeks. Ff16 will be a generation game

Japan seems to love handheld gaming. I don't see a home console ever taking off.

PS5 is selling significantly better than it ever has and is pretty far ahead of PS3 & PS4 LTD.  These numbers are above average for a PS console.  I expect a bump for FF16, but not the extent that you think.  I don't think it will sell over 100k any week, but if it does, it will likely only be FF16 launch week.

Then again, I didn't expect Switch to sell 100k this week, so I guess anything's possible, lol.

40k weekly average is good actually. If PS5 sales do not collapse before 2025 it has a shot to be the best selling Sony console in Japan since PSP

If it gets a successful Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter I can see it as far as outselling Nintendo Wii

Let's see if the current momentum is just a fluke or if it can keep its consistency this year and the next 

Remember that cliff gif from a week back ? Yeah, I think link used the reverie rune on that one to go backwards lol.
Outstanding results for everyone this week in some capacity!
