I think it's always been popular in Japan

It also outsold elden ring, diablo 4, hogwarts, call of duty, basically all the triple AAA titles on Playstation in Japan. Must be devastating for all of them too right? I don't think they are devastated at all considering the installed base in Japan |
PS5 doesn't sell so badly, so don't blame the install base. Sure, it is no Switch, but games sell consoles, not the other way round. Every big game bumps up the baseline of the console, as people are eager to play it.
And your whole argument boils down to: Japan irrelevant anyways. Then why post here?

Depending on your definition of popular. Pikmin 3 Deluxe sold 171K first week, ahead of Pikmin 3 first week on WiiU. Deluxe so far was the most popular Pikmin and already pushed the sales ceiling for the series. This is more than double that.

So you think square and other developers are devastated about their games not selling as well as most 1st party switch titles in Japan? My argument was about that

OK, the wording was pretty strong in the original post. Let's say: I don't think SE is particularly happy about the japanese sales. Devastated... yeah I don't know. If it brings back it's investment overall it will be fine.

it's not a scapegoat when it's a very relevant topic and has truly tumbled from it's old position. it's based on facts.
not that it needs to be brought up for every game ever and in every famitsu thread, though.
The Switch effect is still in full swing! Great Pikmin 4 debut!
Signature goes here!

Superior game on a superior platform for Japan |
Am still surprised it did it with just 1 weeks' sales tho. I mean i did expect it to beat FF in total sales by outlegging it but definitely not in its first week.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

If you think about the production costs of both games, this is must be devastating for Square. |
I mean, i'm not trying to be disparaging about FF sales, am more surprised about how well Pikmin has done!
