XBox One is on fire.

But the low PS4 Pro sales are a little bit surprising to me.

Nintendo Switch is still facing hardware shortage and PS4 is readily available since last week but the demand remains low.

 

[Pagusas]

Why would anyone buy a PS4 right now? Same for Xbox, surprised by that

Playstation 4 has a promotion of 2 free games last week.

PS5 is coming!

Sony should very worried for the PS5 in Japan. Despite overwhelming support from Japanese devs, the PS4 could barely challenge the bad PS3 numbers.

With a Switch more successful than ever ( and Monster Hunter, Zelda and Pokemon games still on the horizon ), I don't expect a good performance from the PS5 in Japan.

Next year is going to be bloodbath for PS5 as Nintendo Switch will be getting the biggest 3rd party game in Q1.

2021 software sales prediction (physical+digital) for top 6 best selling games in Japan for all platforms.

1. Monster Hunter Rise - 4.5M
2. New Pokemon Remake - 3.5M
3. Zelda BOTW 2 - 2M
4. SM3DWD - 1.5M
5. ACNH - 1.5M
6. RFA - 1.5M

Blows my mind that I can afford to buy more Xboxes than all of Japan in a week.

Looking at the trend of record breaking sales by games on the Switch, I wouldn't shy away of 5 million - at the minimum - for Rise.

They realized PS5 will never fit in their flat.
Also Demon’s Souls is coming to PS4 too, haven’t you heard?

Ps5 is all ports as of now so why not?
