Series X barely selling more than PS4 is crazy. I'm not sure if that's a stock thing since the S has over 400 or what. Nintendo does has a vice grip on Japan though, two weeks from launch and the Switch is still destroying PS5.

The digital PS5 charts have come out and April was a good month for RPGs, Oblivion coming 1st and Clair Obscur coming 3rd.

So total April sales for Clair should be at least 20,000.
 
I'm confident Steam is picking up a lot of the sales slack for MHW in Japan at this point. Also curious what plans Capcom have for MH on Switch 2.

Switch 1 numbers (especially the OLED's) are great for a system over 8 years old now.
Steam+China saved MHW in general… Also, the RE engine proved to be shit for MH, I am starting to think that they will do a new MH for the Switch 2 and Skip a port of MH Wild, but will see.

The digital PS5 charts have come out and April was a good month for RPGs, Oblivion coming 1st and Clair Obscur coming 3rd.

So total April sales for Clair should be at least 20,000.
I also mentioned in the last Famitsu Sales thread that the digital version of Clair Obscur has been tracking very well these past couple of weeks on JP PSN.

The JP PSN rankings that get regularly updated are revenue based, so the game being cheaper than a regular AAA title makes it even more impressive IMO.

Oh and the PSN rankings include both F2P and premium titles, and from my own observations these past several months, F2P titles and gachas like Genshin, ZZZ, Wuthering Waves, Star Rail, eFootball and Apex Legends are constantly at the top of this revenue based charts.

MH only just missed out on the top 2, so not too bad.

Combination of great word of mouth and physical shortages. Great to see its physical sales go up this week.
 
MH is still nearly 200k off a million, they really fucked up going for PS over Switch. PC could have had a graphics mode.
