[ReBurn]

Switch putting in that work again

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Good numbers for the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy! PS5 and Switch HW going strong too!

 

[Bernoulli]

No PsP?

 

[Kerotan]

All bow to the new king of traditional home consoles the Playstation Quintuple. You had a good streak Xbox but the Quiny has now done two big back to back weeks.

 

[nial]

No PsP?

Famitsu doesn't report peripheral numbers, maybe Media Create will.

 

[Woopah]

Excellent for both SMRPG and Momotaro to be over 300,000 already. And pretty good for the late Hogwarts port as well.

Not so good for Persona 5 Tactica however.

Hardware-wise, it's a good hold for PS5 but I was expecting more of a holiday boost for Switch.

 

[LordOcidax]

Looks like Switch saturation point has been reached, PS5 is going to stabilize at ~30K, and XBS Up a little bit compared to last week. Amazing numbers for Momotaro, Mario RPG and HL.

[ADiTAR]

I think DS also topped off at around 33m, no? hard to continue selling Switches.

Software is really healthy.

 

[Labadal]

Persona 5 Tactica numbers seem very low.

On the other hand, nothing about the game sold me on it.

 

[Luminoth-4545]

Retail launch weeks for Momotaro Dentetsu World and Super Mario RPG both make the top 20 for Switch

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I don't know what were the domestic sales expectations for Super Mario RPG, but I presume 300k means it sold well, right?

And sad to see, but it looks like P5T kinda bombed. Here's P5S first week sales for comparison:

1. [PS4] Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers (Limited Edition Included) (Atlus, 02/20/20) – 115,995 (New)
2. [NSW] Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers (Limited Edition Included) (Atlus, 02/20/20) – 46,415 (New)

PS5 has been way above 30k all year. 50k is more likely.

The original SMRPG did 325k, so with digital the remake probably outdid it.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Thanks for the added context. Nintendo and Square must be quite happy with the sales.

 

[Raonak]

Nice stuff PS5

 

[Little Chicken]

Another great week for Xbox Series consoles!

 

[Fafalada]

So PS5 is 1 week away from outselling its combined total of first 3 years on the market - 4 weeks before year end too.

 

[Woopah]

Nintendo definitely, but I'm not sure how much Square were really involved. I think they will care more about the upcoming Dragon Quest Monsters.

[Dr. Wilkinson]

No PsP?

???

Why would that be in this? It’s an accessory. It’s a controller shell with a screen in it. It’s not a console

 

[Brucey]

Because apparently it's being tracked in Spain and also NPD/Circana.

But if they unleash a FW update that let you stream from the cloud it becomes a standalone streaming device.

 

[Woopah]

Because apparently it's being tracked in Spain and also NPD/Circana.

The Spain tracker and Circana track accessories anyway, so for Circana its just about what category they put the numbers in. Whereas I don't think Famitsu has ever tracked accessories.

Its possible that Media Create is tracking the Portal, but they don't release any accessory information publicly.

 

[Hardensoul]

Will last week sales be like Holiday US Black Friday sales?

Nice hold for PS5? I was expecting similar numbers and it doesn’t look like PS5 slim made up for the prior low weeks.

 

[Kerotan]

Ps5 in beast mode

There won't be a particularly strong Black Friday effect, but once we get into December and early Jan we'll see a surge in Switch software (including the Dragon Quest Monsters launch) and PS5 hardware.
