Seems like the Switch baseline is somewhere between 80-110k, depending on the shipments.

Games rarely megabomb so much that they can't even achieve 20% sell-through their initial week. Likely the increase is from some discounts by retailers trying to clear shelf space.

There was a promotion for the Xbox Series S in Japan. Those who purchased a Series S from June 13 to 25 got a free gift card worth 4,000 yen. That is why sales went up as much as it did for a few weeks last month.

The hate the 1-2 Switch games get is just absurd to me.
I've actually played the first one and it was a blast w/ my cousins. A stupid good time.
Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Unless Switch 2 straight up bombs in Japan, there's no way PS5 is reaching the Wii's 12.7m. It just ain't in the cards. The PS5 matching the PS4's performance is a far more realistic goal - and even then, it definitely has its work cut out for it. |
I don't think it'll be that difficult. With a significant 640k lead and a 2028 release looking likely for the PS6 I'd say it's probably favoured for the PS5 at this point.

Same I don't think it's a bad game either, it's just that most people wish it was bundled with the console and instead of a sequel use those resources on games that has more demand like Ring Fit Adventure 2, Switch Party, etc.

I see forgot about that. I kinda find it funny because that 4000 yen is probably the amount Microsoft raised prices in Japan. So technically it just returned to its former price disguised as a good deal.
Also do you have an idea why PS4 sales are increasing year to year?

I don't really know the cause of the PS4 sales being up so much year-on-year. Other than maybe there being next to no stock a year ago and there now being stock available. Though, it does seem like Sony has discontinued the PS4 as they stopped giving shipment figures.

That's incredibly odd. At those numbers around 6% of people buying a PS console that week are choosing to buy a PS4.
