Why did the PS5 sales go down that much during the week of a big new release?

Few reasons, already a spiderman game on PS5 doesn't mean it will attract a lot of new customers, it isn't that big of a release but biggest reason new version of PS5 is coming

It seems like the current PS5 models have already been phased out for the upcoming models and have mostly sold out.  Not sure why the phasing out seems to have affected Japan more than other regions this week though.  Maybe because Spider-Man is more popular in the west so they sent more stock out there instead.

I'll be honest, I was expect more from Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Still very good numbers but I was expecting at least 1m (no idea if I was delusional in this though).

Mario Wonder sales are underwhelming but alas there is Christmas season. I won't be surprised if it sells over 100k every week until the end of the year. It's a game that attract casuals after all

3D world + BF sold only 259k in its first 3 days and had no problem clearing 1 million mark in one year. Wonder selling 2 to 3 million is a given

Spider Man 2 is a huge decrease over 2018s which sold 125k. I don't think it will leg enough to reach 200k 



Switch: "that's a big cliff, hey ps5 come look!"

To be continued-



Thats only Physical, factor in digital it should be over 1 Mil.



Well my prediction league predictions for this week are ruined xD

I expected Wonder to put Switch well over 100k for the week, and I certainly didn't anticipate poor PS5 logistics - just 10k, bloody hell -_-

Wonder's launch at least was the best for a Mario game since the Wii/DS era. And XS had a nice boost.
