I hope Nintendo learned their lesson with the PS5 debacle. They're not in a position to let S2 sales drop.

i think next week will still be low, but then go back to around 60k. You gotta factor in the way overblown 2 weeks or 200k+, there is going to be a major snap back once the rubberband is released. Thats what we are seeing now. Not only that, but I assume there are shortages as well. Honestly, I was really shocked to see two weeks of over 200k, I didnt think Nintendo had that kind of inventory ready, especially with the prices of ram. 30k is a lot better than I expected, honestly.

100k for Astro is a very welcome surprise! Wonder why that game is so high up this week? Outperformed Pokémon ZA and Kirby… was there a deal or something? Or did the JP just collectively remember that PS5 has one of the greatest 3D platformers of all time?

100k for a non Nintendo platformer and essentially a new IP is really brilliant. Goes to show also the value of legs even when they exist outside the top 30. When Astrobot originally left the charts it was around 40k, most people would of doubted it would slowly be climbing this high. As it was originally sold out/undersupplied at launch, I suspect it also has a high digital ratio

If NS2 sales aren't able to have good numbers because of the price increase, the japanese traditional gaming is in big trouble, it is pretty much the only thing keeping it alive.

I heard PC gaming was in the rise there but with Switch dropping I think the smartphones will get the remaining of the industry they started to dominate back in the 2010s.

People may still get used to the new price as time goes on, and we are sure to see big spikes in sales when big games release, so it's waiting and seeing time.

Days of Play started May 27th, many games are discounted, mostly anything 1st and 2nd party specially, you can see Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei there in the chart as well.

Online sales must have been pretty decent since then too, I wonder how much Ghost of Yotei has sold around there combined, with 221K physical it should have crossed 500K by now.

I suspect we're seeing an overcorrection this week because of the last few weeks where people rushed to buy the console before the price hike. As time goes on the new price will become old news and the baseline will stabilize.

It would make sense after so many rushed to get it that now there are fewer people actively looking for it for a while. Specially right after the price increases, that's when people would be not wanting to buy it, because we are always looking for getting a good deal.

We'll need to see how it goes, it's certainly quite a big price increase, which immediatly should lower the potential customers, but as it is, by far, the main product people will be looking for regardless, I do think some will simply accept the new price eventually.

Consumer behavior has proved many times that the desire to purchase move the breaking point of the potential sale quite a lot. Me included, even as I've always made sure to define a number as wait for the price to be there to mostly anything I buy, that number has increased considerably with time (it does merit to point that price increases and inflation spikes are WAY more common around here than most people on this forums are used to, so that plays a big role in having to deal with it as a reality).
