Looks like they're preparing stock for monkey

My prediction for next week's Famitsu charts:

*170k-180k Switch 2 unit sales (Biggest week since the launch week in Japan).

* 160K Mario Kart World sales.

* 150K Donkey Kong Bananza sales.

I think Donkey Kong Bananza is slated for a 200K+ opening in Japan (Including digital), and a 1M+ opening WW. One interesting fact is actually that Donkey Kong Bananza download code version has been selling more on Amazon Japan the last few days compared to the standard physical SKU for DK Bananza, this has previously only happened for Nintendo games when the physical SKU has been sold out on Amazon (Which isn't the case for DK Bananza). Which shows that digital costing close to 1000 yen less in Japan is leading more people than usual to buy the download code version instead.

Xbox brand is pretty much dead at this point worldwide. Nintendo got jp by the neck.
I think we know where the market is going next gen - PORTABILITY!!
SONY will definitely try the Nintendo strategy, not exactly 1 to 1 but close. Same with Xbox. Hell they are already laying the ground work. It's kinda like the wii, Kinect, PlayStation eyetoy all over again.
Regardless good on Nintendo for reading the market and realizing that PORTABILITY is the current and future just like smartphones taking over.

I almost agree with you, in some sense portability is normally what japanese folks want, but portability is not what make NS a sucess on Japan.

Sony will find this in the hard way.
