Hardware sales

Nintendo Hardware yearly Japan sales

Sony Hardware yearly Japan sales

at least we got Switch over 4mil for the year and SMWonder over 1.5 million physical.

Nice hardware sales. One of Switch's best week for the year and PS5 too

Nice swing there Spidy!

What's the deal with this Week 53 thing in 2017 and 2023?

I believe the PS5 will sell 2 million in 2024

There are 365.25 days in a year. 52 weeks is 364 days. So once every few years you need an extra week to catch up. Same concept as having a 29th of February once very 4 years.

PS5 has had a slow end to the year but with these two weeks it beats PS2's 2004 sales. So this year was the best sales for a PlayStation Home Console in Japan for 20 years (since PS2 in 2003).
