poor Astro :(

Sony shot itself in the foot by increasing the price of the ps5. They will have to accept losing money if they want to sell ps5 in japan. I know the yen is weak, but Japan's wages haven't kept up with inflation.

Pretty good hold for Astrobot, down only 30% in week 2. PS5 seems headed to a 4-digit baseline after the recent price hike, oof.

The Switch hits 2m so after taking 18 weeks to sell a million it took 19 for the 2nd million. There's only 15 weeks left but it will get a boost for the last week of this month and even if it's not much it'll still get a boost during the holidays so 3m is doable for sure. It needs to sell on average just under 65k for the rest of the year to get there though each week like this one or ones that are in the 40's or potentially even 30's will make it that much tougher. It could come down to if the Switch 2 does get properly announced soon or not.

And oh dear the PS5 sold even less this week. If the new baseline is gonna be sub 15k or even close to 10k then that's gonna hurt a lot going forward. It makes sense though since I imagine after this price hike some Japanese gamers will feel that they may as well just get a PC for stuff like Wilds. Maybe the baseline will increase again once the Pro comes out but with how insanely expensive that is in Japan I doubt it'll have much impact.

Those are some pretty dire PS5 sales, I guess increasing the price discourages people from buying things. Who knew?

Excellent % hold for Astro, but from very low actual figures, so it doesn't really help unfortunately.

Well, it's all a game of revenue. They might have gone from a $50 loss to a $40 profit per unit, so that's a $1.65 million net swing for the better even assuming the baseline went from 25,000 to 10,000.

Of course, long-term damage to the brand and all.
