Forums - Sales Discussion - Famitsu Sales: Week 40, 2024 (Sep 30 - Oct 06)

Is this the first time in History that we have 3 Zelda games in the top 30 on the Japanese chart?



Switch!!!

Looking at the Xbox Series numbers ... Will it even beat it's 2021 calendar year total ?

On the other hand, congrats to the Switch for a well fought 34M milestone ! Cheers for the next million or two if it ends up happening 🍾

Never can't tell but stock is low or sold out and could be because the new series versions release this month.






Weird to see Astro's legs just collapse like that after holding up very well for its first few weeks; looks like it may take until Monster Hunter for a PS5 game to have truly lasting legs in Japan.

Also, It Takes Two has done decently on Switch for a Western title and a year-late port.
Etrian Odyssey randomly popping back onto the charts after ages too.



Could it be that Astro Bot is sold out in stores? Otherwise I really have a hard time understanding that sudden huge drop in sales.

Astro seems to be in stock at Amazon Japan and Yodabashi, so either it got restocked since last week, or it's fall from the top 30 isn't an availability issue.

You mentioned PS5 had a deal with 7000 yen PS store credit? Could it be many used it to buy Astro

Could be; according to Install Base the PS deal runs into the present week, and as Astro is in stock at the moment, next week's report should provide some insight.



Yeah was not expecting that Etrian Odyssey Collection screamer ...

Was probably a deal for the remaining physical stocks or something like that ?
Still, a good moment to reiterate that they should re-release a collection of the 3DS games too.

Wow, Astro completely fell off the charts. What happened? (Also, NSW at 34mil!)

No. 6-10 are in a narrow range. Hopefully Astro kept above 4k 

Looks like chart updated: Not even in the top 30?? How is that even possible?
