Well done. In fact, I don't know how no one hadn't come up with a main thread for the Famitsu's sales data yet

this is the way

I'm happy to see people liking this new format. :) Appreciate the support. After Famitsu completely slipped my mind this morning, I decided that from now on, I'll leave it up to you guys to post the Famitsu data. My role will simple be to (i) update the OPs of the thread and (ii) (for homogeneity/archiving sake) repost OP contents as an individual post in the thread. That way you won't need to be searching for an entirely different thread each time you want to reference data.

I really dislike this idea, it's just gonna lead to each weekly sales data getting less discussion which isn't ideal when site activity is already low. There's a reason Installbase has an individual thread for each week instead of just a single megathread for all of it so I suggest reconsidering this idea. Having a general Japanese sales data megathread could be nice but the weekly threads should definitely continue.

For this weeks data the Switch 2 is a higher than last week but only by a bit so good thing Fortune's Weave is near and the Switch 1 is had a relatively ok week. Also the PS5 has been down YoY two weeks in a row now so it might be running out of steam some.

Ignore

It has always been weekly threads for every forum to maximize engagement. I suggest keeping up with the weekly threads. No problem if you forget sometimes.

I hear your concerns. Let's just try it for a few weeks and see how things work. I anticipate those who usually engage with these Famitsu forums will act as usual, and new people will join along just as they would in the "Club Nintendo" or "Road to 160M NSW" forums.

Shifting focus over to sales... maybe I just haven't been paying attention these past few weeks, but Switch 1 has been doing pretty well for a period of slow hardware sales. Outselling PS5 and almost hitting half of NS2's figures.
