[Weekly software and hardware sales figures] "Dragon Quest 3 Remake" tops the charts for the second week in a row! "Disney Music Parade", "Stray" and "Marvel vs. Capcom" also ranked [11/18-11/24]​

Sales ranking announced by Famitsu. This time we bring you a summary of the estimated weekly sales figures for game software and hardware from November 18th to November 24th, 2024.

The HD-2D version of Dragon Quest III: And Into the Legend... is doing well, with the Nintendo Switch version ranking first and the PlayStation 5 version ranking third. This marks the second consecutive week that it has topped the charts. The cumulative sales of both versions is 913,132 units and we can expect continued sales in the future.

A number of new titles were also released this week with Disney Music Parade Encore, a rhythm action game that features classic Disney tunes ranking in at No. 5.

Next in 7th place is the Switch packaged version of Stray, an action adventure game in which you play as a stray cat trying to escape from an underground world and in 9th place is MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection Arcade Classics which includes six fighting games and one action game being ported to Japan for the first time, making for an impressive lineup.

The next one we want to pick out is Momotaro Dentetsu World ~The Earth Revolves on Hope!~ which is in 8th place. It has attracted attention again due to a major update on November 14, 2024, and has significantly improved its ranking from 28th place last week, returning to the top 10.

Ps5 Pro still going surprisingly strong. Also a huge boost for Ps5 DE compared to last week it seems.

 

[nowhat]

I pity those who play Stray on a Switch. It's not really that much about gameplay, and the visual downgrade to get it running on Switch is really significant.

 

[Hookshot]

Good to see things like Stray and MVC chart even if the numbers aren't that great.

Demand for the PS5 Pro so far has been surprising given the price. I hope it gets a Monster Hunter Wilds bundle in February.

Decent hold for the ps5 pro

What's interesting is that this is one of the first times, if not the first time ever I've seen the digital edition outsell the standard edition. That tells me that many people are deciding that the standard edition doesn't represent the best value. That the digital edition is significantly cheaper and the Pro version is more powerful. I think that's been a different story in the US, especially with the standard getting a discount for the holidays.

All those exports to china about to do numbers.

Or simply does it have to do with the 30th anniversary edition going this week?

All the theories on how PS5 Pro was gonna flop are basically gone at this point. Even those first week sales being stronger only due to "enthusiasts all bought it this week" make no sense at this point.

Monster Hunter releasing next year as basically an exclusive will do wonders for both PS5 models tbh.

So selling 10K in his third week on the market without any stock issues is a success now?? Really? We are talking about a new Playstation console in Japan not the Oculus Quest or something like that Btw, the PS4 Pro was considered a fail over there too…

 

[Woopah]

Unfortunate but nor surprising falls for DQ given the stock shortages. Hopefully restocks happen soon.

On the flip side it's very good news for hardware. PS5 Pro is holding strong and Switch is up vs. last year.

This isn't a new playstation console....

It's a more powerful revision to what is out there. People aren't going to buy this like a brand new console.

The PS4 Pro made up a higher portion of sales in Japan than elsewhere. It wasn't a "fail".

It's outselling its previous console (PS4 Pro) at a much higher price. I don't see how it's not a success lol.

*New product then No matter how you look at is not a success product… Third week.

 

[jm89]

What is success for this?

It's an even more pricier to the ps4 pro yet selling similar units in a region where playstation is weaker then last gen that sounds a success.

 

[LordOcidax]

That’s doesn’t make it a success… The PS4 Pro wasn’t considered a success at all… Btw like i said before, the PS4 Pro had stock issues by that time. You can check the old threads of that time.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

*New product then No matter how you look at is not a success product… Third week.

According to who? You? Do you know Sony's sales expectations for this niche expensive product?

Do you even know how to measure the success of a product like this? It's not a Gaf user that determines that.

All we know is this: It's selling better than its predecessor at a higher price when everyone said this was an unnecessary release that no one would want.

 

[Hookshot]

Was this the week of 30th anniversary PS's? or is that next week?

So the Xbox Series is a success in Japan due to Microsoft expectations over there… Ok then.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Wow, 69k Switches, dang.

It will sell another million before year end.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Does MS expect this gen to do worse than the last one?
Im sure Japan is not a market they care for

Another million probably no, but its going to surpass 3M this year.

In 3 weeks this expensive pro model has sold around a 3rd of what Series X has sold in 4 years .


PS5 Pro 100k in 3 weeks , Xbox Series X 300k in 4 years.

PS4 Pro was a success for Sony
PS5 Pro is currently outpacing the PS5 Pro in Japan.

It shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

 

[Alexios]

Noice, do N-Gage next.

 

[Mr Moose]

Almost the same % of drop, the difference is for the PS4 Family vs PS5 Family, the PS4 was selling more. Next week the PS5 family could go sub 15K, and that’s really bad with a new console in the market.

 

[Horseganador]

For a 120,000 yen console, the PS5 Pro is selling pretty well.

 

[Mozza]

I pity those who play Stray on a Switch. It's not really that much about gameplay, and the visual downgrade to get it running on Switch is really significant.

Pretty sure they do not need any pity, they will just simply play the game, unaware of anthing they are missing.

 

[Impotaku]

Most switch players won’t give a damn about stray, it’s one game in a packed release period. On PlayStation probably made more of a splash due to the slim pickings. Hell yesterday saw 5 of my preorders on switch all release so it’s not on my priority list. I’m drowning in switch games to play.

 

[onQ123]

Noice, do N-Gage next.

"Do N-Gage Next"

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Yeah, I'm actually surprised by the numbers. I figured Japan wouldn't really care all that much about the Pro but it's actually the model selling the most.

More surprising is that the DE outsold the regular PS5 this week.

 

[Impotaku]

It’s getting to winter the Japanese are buying those ps5 pros as space heaters for their homes.

 

[Alexios]

"Do N-Gage Next"

You already quoted it, why type it again

 

[onQ123]

You already quoted it, why type it again

To express my disgust

 

[yogaflame]

Good sale for ps5 pro especially for an expensive console. Will be bigger when Monster hunter wild is launched next year.

 

[Kerotan]

Considering the price hike and the super high Pro price ps5 sakes are really good.

 

[kazuyamishima]

For the first time since launch, the PS5 is on sale in Japan for all models aside the Pro.

A 10k Yen reduction for all models thanks to BF.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yeah, just looked it up. Some good promos on both PS5 HW and 1st party SW.

Sales start tomorrow so there should be a noticeable bump come next week.

No, it wasn't particularly considered that. Why are you always like this in any sort of PlayStation discussion around here?

Yeah, just looked it up. Some good promos on both PS5 HW and 1st party SW.

Sales start tomorrow so there should be a noticeable bump come next week.

I'm waiting to see Christmas promos as Black Friday isn't particularly big in Japan, but yes, those are good ones.

 

[Warspite]

What was the price of the PS5 before the price hike?

 

[Elios83]

Yeah, just looked it up. Some good promos on both PS5 HW and 1st party SW.

Sales start tomorrow so there should be a noticeable bump come next week.

This is really unfortunate. Between the Pro selling more than expected in Japan given the price and these deals, the sales collapse some crazy Nintendo fans are dreaming to see will have to wait!!!

Eh the low sales of the base models isn't a good thing, they need to do an official price cut and just eat the currency conversion losses.
