Switch might actually stay relatively flat this year in japan by the the end of the year

This is less than half of XV sales, but I was expecting it to do even worse tbh

When was the last time a Playstation exclusive game sold over 300k in Japan?

Edit: Also, why is this game so expensive? 9000 ienes is a good 40-50% more expensive the the majority of AAA titles 

Cheers for picking up the thread in the absence of kenjab (who does a great job every week).

Very healthy PS5 numbers, I expected it to outsell the Switch this week, but it's not having any of it...

:) Nintendo is reaching 40 million in Japan , i fear

First week PS5
Top 10 :

1. FF16 -336k
2. Elden Ring - 90k
3. RE4 - 89k
4. GT7 - 73k
5. Hogwarts Legacy - 67k
6. Crisis Core FF7R - 54k
7. Tales of Arise - 50k
8. Horizon Forbidden West - 43k
9. RE Village - 38k
10. Lost Judgement - 33k

How the mighty has fallen. This breaks my  childhood heart.

What gave Switch a boost this week?

The Nintendo Direct happened this week. Not sure what else there is. 

wow, and people were sure of a 100k+ week for a PS5, not even it didn't do it but it is still at number 2 with Switch back at 100+k.

Could the 2 console sales have been inverted?
