The Switch 2 needs to sell 72% of last year's numbers from here on out to beat its 2025 tally. In August, it fell way short of the target. Can Ocarina of Time help it get there?

Oh nice to have all the updates in one location!

Unfortunately, it looks like S2 sales will be rough until Ocarina of Time arrives.

For anyone wondering about the Pro it looks like stock actually collapsed during last week. Not the current week. So in other words the week before the Netflix trailer. So, I actually question the GTA narrative. I think Pro stock was already low at some retailers going into last week and then when people realized it was low, that automatically triggered a run on the remaining stock. This can be seen by the sudden run on GameStop and Playstation Direct. In this case we can infer that the lack of stock triggered demand.

Dude why is Switch 1 in beast-ish mode? I thought the latest price hike would kill it and promote the Switch 2...

Solid opening for Onimusha! Should be much higher with digital and PC.

Anybody has data on previous Onimusha titles' sales?

Looks like a very good week in general.  All hardware is up (except XBox which doesn't matter).  Software charts has 4 titles above 10k which is solid.  Both Rhythm Heaven Groove and Splatoon Raiders are declining gradually. 

Elden Ring took a big drop though.  I really think the GKC is hurting it.  DQ11 on Switch 1 was a late port of a very popular game, and it ended up legging to 1M+ sales in Japan.  I don't see Elden Ring doing anything close to that.

Apparently (week1):

Onimusha 1: 510k~

Onimusha 2: 670k~

Onimusha 3: 350k-430k~

Onimusha 4: 180k~

Man... I miss the PS2 era. Onimusha 1 was my first bought PS2 game. Got it a few days before the console itself.
