Switch 1 performing almost as well in its first year as in its eighth year is crazy. The Japanese will never move on from this system.

Nice to see several new releases do okay, though it looks like Switch 2 editions of Switch 1 games aren't setting the charts of fire since most of the audience already played them.

NS - 21

PS5 - 4

considering mgs v did 410k+ and mgs4 did 470k+, even though this is a "remake", 63k is abysmal. Game should have at least pushed 100k. PS is becoming xbox 360 like in Japan ngl.

While I agree the numbers are not that great for this remake in this region, digital wasn't really a thing for MGS4 and for 5 the ratio was super low. The famitsu physical charts just like the UK charts are increasingly inaccurate without all the digital data as Sony now has an 83% digital ratio split from the last quarter onward.

Well it did 70k in the US in July and that was before the price increase for the US and Canada. So we'll see what that does to the overall numbers to get a WW expectation going forward. 

sure, I guess if in Japan you have a 80 percent ratio like that, the game would have sold closer to 250k which is not bad. 

The problem is in Japan more people buy physical than digital, so there's no way the split is 20/80 in that country. At the very most it's 50/50. What we need to also remind ourselves is PS5 isn't a popular console in Japan. PC gaming has grown a lot and most people are on Switch and Mobile. There's even a decent amount still on PS4.
