I wonder if Famitsu will drop the PS4 from its tracking in 2026. 1000 units in one year is basically nothing.

Most likely it has hit that milestone , famitsu doesn't track Mynintendo store sales, maybe amazon etc. Thus , we will soon see a 2m gap between vgchartz total sales numbers and shipments total as of 31th of December.

Sell-in tally is 37.7m as of September 30th.

It will be intersting to watch.

Nintendo switch with a weekly sales baseline of 14k (which isn't out of reach i feel), will sell 728.000 units...Half of what it sold in 2025 and PS5 can drop by 100k. That's not  a sharp drop, taking into account the contigence of price drop. I will be suprised if it would have a effect other than preventing a sharp drop.

Switch 2 did slightly worse than Switch 1 in its first holiday in Japan.

Weren’t these numbers adjusted? I thought Switch 1 never saw a 300k week. (Also, I see. Having that one less week certainly makes things a little challenging for Switch 2.)

I posted numbers before that were adjusted to better compare with it being a 53 week Vs 52 week year. Here are those numbers updated.

So because Week 52 2025 shares 3 days with Week 52 2017 and 4 days with Week 53 2017 I just compare it to the average of those two 2017 weeks.

I see. That’s good to know. Thank you for the data, Zippy. :)

For how strong Switch 2 had been all year (versus Switch 1 which saw a supply bottleneck burst wide open during the 2017 holiday season), it’s safe to say Nintendo has done a solid job maintaining wildfire demand in JP.

Now let’s see if they can do the same outside of JP. EU appears to be doing comparably well, US not so much based on November sata.

Fair, but would still be nice to see that extra mil on Famitsu. Maybe shipments can hit 39m then. 40 is the dream of course but probably a tad unrealistic.

Switch 1 more than doubles PS5 for 2025, in its replacement year, going out like a champ.

I'm not sure about that. GTA 5 sold over 320 FW and over 1.8 million total on consoles in Japan, and even a if sales of GTA6 are down significantly from that game, that could make GTA6 one of the best FW's on the PS5 in the country (only 7 PS5 games have broken 100k FW).
