Last week's thread: Famitsu Sales: Week 51, 2024 (Dec 16 - Dec 22)

Woohoo! We actually got some data. Looks like DQ3 on PS5 slipped back into the top 30 preventing another Switch shutout for these two weeks. Astrobot even gave an assist on one week. Meanwhile Mario Party is a boss, and DQ3 on Switch is doing well too.

Imagine how much Square Enix is looking forward to launching Final Fantasy on the Switch platform

Haven't been paying too much attention to EoW figures (so maybe this is old news), but looks like game did a whole lot better than expected. Almost 400k in JP sounds to me like 4-5.5mil WW. Pretty solid for a 2D spinoff game!

1.5 million+ (with digital) for DQ looks a bit low tbh. FF VII remake made 1 million with only physical on the PS4, which was a much less popular system

But I guess it's still just a remake and remakes never sells that well in Japan

Only a new game can push it to 3 million range again I believe

I'm curious to see how much Monster Hunter will sell, in current state of the market is the strongest third party in market along with Dragon Quest

Will be interesting to see how Monster Hunter Wilds sales in Japan will compare to something like Super Mario Party Jamboree.

The Switch already has FF 1-12 (minus 11, but plus X-2).  It already looks like SE is eager to put as much Final Fantasy on Nintendo platforms as they can.

I'd estimate DQ3 is close to 2M at this point (with digital).  I'm looking at previous DS/3DS sales in Japan for remakes on this site:
https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Quest

DQ4 (DS)  2.33M
DQ5 (DS)  2.24M
DQ6 (DS)  2.21M
DQ7 (3DS) 2.07M
DQ8 (3DS) 1.33M

Assuming it's legs hold up, I think DQ3 HD 2D remake is going to outsell all of these previous remakes when you include digital.

Metric ton of Switch evergreens in these charts while Mario Part Jamboree and Dragon Quest III HD-2D dominates most of the top.

Always warms me how Kirby games like to come back in these charts during these holiday seasons. It really is one of the perfect games for it.

Also M&L Brothership likely to surpass 200K physical sales now.

2 million sales means a 40% digital ratio. Sounds a bit too much? 

But there is something we are missing here, PC sales. Maybe it's close to 2 million including PC

Switch domination of the physical charts as per usual; keen to see where hardware lands when it arrives tomorrow.

Mario Party Jamboree taking no prisoners.
