Sony wanted their propaganda win over Switch 2 as their loyal accolytes get from European PS5 sales. Didn't achieve that at all in Japan.
Rest assured Nintendo has stocked a lot of consoles to Japan this holiday, to safely achieve their sales target.
That is what make people frustrated by Japan, the propaganda of the hugely in demand PS5 rest on Ps5 outselling their competitors everywhere. Japan always dampens that excitement.
Kirby did a lot better than I expected. Interesting how much more OLED and Lite sell than OG Switch, I wonder if it will be the first SKU discontinued in the future, at least for Japan.

You gotta admire people who can somehow manage to think Nintendo is struggling while having the fastest selling console ever.
Signature goes here!
Decent opening numbers for JP-only digital PS5.
We’ll see if Sony can build on this.
Switch 1 selling ~30k in its 9th holiday season is an unprecedented feat.
Kirby with a great opening weekend and Switch 2 continues to kill it. We’ll see how well the game sells the rest of this holiday season as well as just how much stock Nintendo prepared for Switch 2 in December.

When accounting for digital, this likely placing the game as having the second biggest launch in the franchise history— I’d imagine digital is much higher now than when Star Allies released. For being such an early gen release, I could definitely see this game cranking out >5mil LTD. |
I think it would need the rest of the world to do that, but in Japan it could comfortably crack 1.5m if it legs sustain but we'll have to see
Might have to see next week but the cheaper PS5 seems to have sucked up demand from the week prior instead of actually increasing demand.
