Didn’t expect Pikmin 4 to just keep going.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Decent HW numbers for both NSW and PS5. Pikmin 4 still going strong, holy hell!!

 

[Tsaki]

Seeing such a huge difference between the OLED model and the other Switches, would it be fair to say that most of those are Switch owners upgrading to this model?

 

[Fake]

Pikmin is a beast. Glad to see him good.

PS5: 35,865
PS5 Digital Edition: 2,746

Lol. Digital Edition getting his ass beaten like no end.

[Saber]

My god, that Pikimin 4 being first in sales is insane. Never though he would keep this momentum for that long.

 

[envyzeal]

That Starfield effect

Anecdotal, but at least here PS5 DE is something of a unicorn. Technically it exists, but I've yet to see one in person, or available online even. I'm guessing the production numbers are way lower. Which would make sense - no way a BluRay drive costs $100 for Sony, so the initial loss (if PS5 is still being sold at loss) is larger even if whoever buys one has to go all digital (which Sony would naturally prefer).

They produce less. But even though I opted for the DE, I am glad to see the disc versions produced and sold more for gaming preservation.

The Japanese love their physical media lol.

 

[Woopah]

Nothing too hot from Baten or Super Bomberman R 2. Hopefully the other third party games coming this year do better.

It would be the de facto choice for first-time buyers, too. I wouldn't recommend any other model to anybody at this point. I'm playing Paranormasight on it, and loving every spooky second of it!

Japan keeping the physical dream alive!

Pikmin just keeps on going! You love to see it.

Japan carrying the Switch

Switch has got one more Christmas to flex on, I'm guessing.

Isn't it more the other way around?

 

[Raonak]

Good stuff PS5

 

[Kerotan]

Ps5 doing good again.

Hope it comes with the base Switch 2 as well, or at least exist as a SKU at launch.

I would pay extra for an OLED screen.

Just realized the PS5 is hitting 2M sold in Japan this year alone next week. Quite impressive. It's going to end the year around 3M sold if not more!

This is going to be the best year from Sony hardware since the PSP did 2.9 million in 2010, or maybe since PSP did 3.6 million in 2008.
