Forums - Sales Discussion - Famitsu Sales: Week 34, 2024 (Aug 19 - Aug 25)

With the price hike, it seems Sony is more or less giving up on remaining a relevant force in Japan. Their focus this gen seems to be squarely on America.

OP updated with HW numbers for Week 33, which allows us to see the exact breakdown for weeks 32 & 33.



Switch: SW-3707-5131-3911
XBox: Kenjabish

updated with HW number splits



Bad timing for the PS5 price increase next week, as Astro Bot releases tomorrow, and PS5 stock may be low.
Could have had one last good week.

At this point I think Switch 2 may end up being more expensive in Japan than I previously expected.

I think that in the following weeks PS5's numbers are gonna be lower but not as small as Xbox at the moment. I think that PS5 is more essential in that region (like in almost all asian countries) while Xbox is often used as secondary platform. I guess PS5 will eventually reach PS3/PS4 result there but not more (it seems that 10 million is the highest possible result for PS brand there)

Always nice to see PS5 actually moving some software even if it only last for a few weeks.
