Holy Switch! (get it?)

Why did the switch sell so much?

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Nintendo switch is still killing it.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Those numbers for the Switch are insane. I'm glad to see GOAT of Tsushima is selling well there too

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

If you don't get why the Switch's selling like hotcakes in Japan by now than i am sorry but you're a retard who haven't been keeping up with Japan's console scene for the last 15 years.

 

[Kerotan]

Ghost of Tsushima murdering it. 4 ps4 games in top 10 is good especially considering it's not the hardware market leader.

 

[Bryank75]

A lot of Japanese gamers breaking their Switches after rage quiting Animal Crossing.

Genius strategy.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Ghost of Tsushima 2 on the PS5 is going to do numbers in Japan

I wouldn't blame Microsoft for canceling support in Japan, only 337 consoles sold for July and August

 

[Entroyp]

If you don't get why the Switch's selling like hotcakes in Japan by now than i am sorry but you're a retard who haven't been keeping up with Japan's console scene for the last 15 years.

Is it because japan is weird AF? Radiation from the Nuclear Bombs?

 

[Bodomism]

Holy Switch! (get it?)

Why did the switch sell so much?

RFA+ACNH+No competition.

Nintendo still unable to full fill the demand as Nintendo Switch hardware lotteries are still taking place in Japan.

 

[Bodomism]

Those numbers for the Switch are insane. I'm glad to see GOAT of Tsushima is selling well there too

According to gamstat player count, GOT is currently only trailing 1.7M behind TLOU2 despite huge launched of TLOU2 and more tracking days, if the trend still continues GOT will overtake TLOU2 player count.

Pretty absurd when a new ip is having a chance to outsell sequel to the best selling Sony 1st party game.

 

[Walter Matthau]

You do know the Wii U only sold 3 million units, right? That's about half of Sega Saturn's sales....

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

Is it because japan is weird AF? Radiation from the Nuclear Bombs?

No, because handhelds have been King since the NDS/PSP, only a small percent of gamers in Japan buy traditional consoles.

If you want to be successful in Japan you have to make a handheld or a hybrid console like the Switch.

 

[Fake]

Japan love mobile consoles. DS and 3DS was great for them, so NS will get high sales as well. Besides, nothing wrong with Japan loving Nintendo games.

I find amazing how GoT is getting attention as much as Nintendo games even Japan being a Nintendo land.

Japan was PS1/PS2 land until 2008, then Nintendo took over again.

Make the hardware they like and get the big Japanese companies to make games for it and they'll follow, handheld + Monster Hunter =$$$$$$
See the PSP/3DS and it's popularity in Japan.

 

[Hobbygaming]

According to gamstat player count, GOT is currently only trailing 1.7M behind TLOU2 despite huge launched of TLOU2 and more tracking days, if the trend still continues GOT will overtake TLOU2 player count.

It's good that both games are selling great and it just goes to show that Sony's 1st party studios are getting even more recognition and are still improving

 

[Fake]

Japan was PS1/PS2 land until 2008, then Nintendo took over again.

Even if Japan was PS1/PS2 until 2008 thats don't mean Japan is not a Nintendo Land.

 

[Orta]

Those Switch numbers are crazy. Doubt if the PS5 will match them.

 

[Bodomism]

Not for TLOU2 though

Not unless it's a handheld and under 300$ so yeah fat chance.

 

[bender]

Xbox only a thousand units short of being elite.

You're not getting, do you? I not talking about sales dude, I talking about a cultural process. Even if Japan was until 2008 a Playstation Land, thats don't mean Nintendo not...

Brand, chars, legacy, merchandise...

You know both can coexist, right?

I get it, my point was to get successful in Japan just make a handheld/hybrid that has the support of the big boys especially Capcom and MH and make it reasonably cheap (under 350-300$) and you'll be successful.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

According to gamstat player count, GOT is currently only trailing 1.7M behind TLOU2 despite huge launched of TLOU2 and more tracking days, if the trend still continues GOT will overtake TLOU2 player count.

Pretty absurd when a new ip is having a chance to outsell sequel to the best selling Sony 1st party game.

If you look at how many new players these games add per day, GoT is doing that at a faster pace than TLOU2 launch-aligned outside of the first few days. Horizon is also having a larger baseline than TLOU2, as well.

 

[Thicc Enigma]

Hory shiet at Switch

And poor Xbox

 

[K1Expwy]

July-August, 2 months? The market has shrunk dramatically since the 2000s and early 10s. They look like single-week M-C numbers for Nintendo/Sony/MS platforms during 7th gen

To be fair it's not a normal year, but 2019 sales weren't that much better iirc

 

[Bodomism]

[Hobbygaming]

Not for TLOU2 though

TLOU 2 is still selling well so yes for TLOU 2 too

 

[DForce]

According to gamstat player count, GOT is currently only trailing 1.7M behind TLOU2 despite huge launched of TLOU2 and more tracking days, if the trend still continues GOT will overtake TLOU2 player count.

I won't.

It was tracking well after the release because of the sales in Japan.

The sales are slowing down and it won't take over TLOU 2.

 

[Fake]

TLOU 2 is still selling well so yes for TLOU 2 too

He is talking about Japan sales...

 

[mejin]

It's insane PS4 got 112M despite the poor sales on Japan. haha

 

[Bodomism]

To be fair it's not a normal year, but 2019 sales weren't that much better iirc

Nintendo Switch this week sales number is bigger than PS4 and XBO in 2 months combined.

 

[Hobbygaming]

He is talking about Japan sales...

No he wasn't. He is going off of gamestat player counts

 

[Bodomism]

It's insane PS4 got 112M despite the poor sales on Japan. haha

PS4 is really cheap in 3rd world countries even in the 1st world countries where you can get 2-3 free games for every PS4.

 

[Fake]

No he wasn't. He is going off of gamestat player counts

Yes he is. The first mention was about the player base (gamestat), not about the sales.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Yes he is. The first mention was about the player base (gamestat), not about the sales.

No his reply is about player counts comparing TLOU 2 and Ghost of Tsushima. He said GOT is only 1.7 million players behind. TLOU 2 has 6.3 million players, GOT has 4.6 million not Japan sales like the thread topic

 

[SilentUser]

Surreal Switch numbers! Also very surprised and happy by the amount of PS4 titles there, specially how well GoT sold (it is a western IP on a smaller user base after all).

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Two takeaways:

(1) Nintendo Switch is straight murdering the other gaming mainstays, which is not surprising because it's a Japanese homebody but also because the other devices have zero portability for a market that can't live without it. That said, are the sales tracking any segment of the mobile market? Curious to know how much money has shifted that direction because it's far more than either the US or Europe.

(2) Japanese gamers have some really strange software preferences which are wholly unique to them.

And just to reiterate, Famitsu is straight garbage. They can never erase the stain of awarding perfect scores to titles in the FFXIII saga.

 

[Great Hair]

Holy Switch! (get it?)

No, i refuse to play on portables. I won´t get me a switch.

Spoiler

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Is it because japan is weird AF? Radiation from the Nuclear Bombs?

If getting nuked makes a country weird AF then explain San Francisco or most big US cities.

 

[manfestival]

(PS4)New Gundam

When you say New Gundam... are you saying Maxiboost ON?

 

[Bodomism]

Prediction - PS5+XSX launch number will be lowered than NSW hardware sales in that week.

 

[TLZ]

Prediction - PS5+XSX launch number will be lowered than NSW hardware sales in that week.

Are you Clarissa 's biggest-Nintendo-fanboy friend by any chance?

 

[GreyHorace]

Nice to get some numbers with regards to sales of Ghost of Tsushima in Japan. This all but guarantees a sequel not just for the US, but the Japanese market as well. Well deserved.

 

[Laconian Sword]

Nintendo:

I love that this is a real meme now. We totally latched onto this scene when the movie came out 25 years ago.

3rd Party Exclusives on Switch: 5
Multi-plats: 4


3rd Parties have successfully handed Japan to Nintendo, the only Sony 3rd Party exclusives in 2020 that are exclusive due to technical limitations of the Switch are pretty much just Final Fantasy and Resident Evil- everything else is based on bias or miscalculations while determining target platforms. The funniest part is that if Monster Hunter Switch is launched this holiday it would outsell 2020 PS4 Top 25 Software on its own lifetime. Big Japanese 3rd Parties and their galaxy brains face some of their franchises becoming pretty much irrelevant in Japan if they continue with the same policy.

At least there are some bright signs that this fall won't be just Nintendo/Pokemon Company show even if Capcom doesn't end up launching Monster Hunter on the Switch. Taiko no Tatsujin RAP, Bravely Default 2, Rune Factory 5, Momotaro Dentetsu, Atelier 2, SMT III Nocturne, PuyoPuyo 2 is a decent fall line-up when we add eBaseball & Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles which already launched. The worrying part is we haven't seen Bravely 2 or RF5 - also Imagineer has another fitness game I expect to do very well FiNC HOME FiT. Human Fall Flat is an indie that is also doing great in Japan another game that will provide over 100K physical sales by the looks of things.

The biggest failure remains Level-5, congrats on making the rest of these companies support seem decent... I guess. Going from a Top 3 Publishers on the 3DS to whatever they are on the Switch is surely a cautionary tail.

 

[Azelover]

My goodness at that hardware!!

I had a lot of fun at the time of the DS (circa 2005/6), and thought it would N.E.V.E.R. happen again...

And here we are!!

 

[Gamer79]

The switch is still sold out in most stores in the usa. I found a pink one in target(their last one) after searching 6 stores.
