Disappointing for God Eater 3, but I guess it didn't have any Marketing.

It's not that surprising, Mario Kart has long sexy legs.

First time in Nintendo machine though, months after release.

55k new Switches sold, 7k new MK8s sold. It should have sold 55k!

I always find those Xbox numbers insane:

Xbox One X – 32
Xbox One S – 18

I wonder if the Japanese Xbox fans have a super tight-knit community. Maybe all the cool kids there buy Xbox consoles, just to be different from the crowd.

Makes sense though. There’s isn’t any Xbox game that’s appealing to the Japanese that isn’t releasing on other platforms. Xbox must up their game and bring back the good old JRPGs days

It will be interesting to see how much effort they put in to marketing the next gen Xbox in Japan. They made a big push with the original and the 360;not so much this gen.

It's not worth their time or money.
