I definitely did not expect Pikmin 4 to have this crazy legs. Seems like a huge breakthrough in Japan, might end up outselling the Kirby games on Switch.

pikmin actually increasing sales this week. Legs look strong!



At this rate of sales, the PS5 will reach more than 5 million units by the end of the year. if he maintains 2 million units per year for the next ones, he would already reach 13 million throughout his life. surpassing even the Nintendo wii.



I wonder if an army of pikmin could pick up and armoured core mech



Either renewed interest in Japan for most hardware or more stocks exported to Asia(China) which leads us to another unbelievable week.

The real surprise is how Pikmin 4 simply doesn't let up since a while now. Armored Core VI went down crazy fast however. Thought it's 2nd week would still surpass Pikmin 4

Pikmin legs are amazing. Being up WoW when selling over 30k per week is super impressive.
