What is the future of this graph once NSW passes 3DS and never looks back?
there are no stocks in Amazon too.
(people can buy normal PS4 500GB over $400 in market place.)

Well they are probably going to blow past 2019 regardless. And they probably do have other things.
And even if they don't, I'm sure they did but we were set back because of Covid. You do know that is a thing right? The safety of their staff is more important than getting your toy out for the holidays.
Exactly, I don't see anything wrong with Sony doing a quick transition to the PS5, people are trying to paint a 7 year old console having little stock a bad thing when its being replaced literally in about two months. Do people say the same with older Iphones and Samsung Galaxies when the new ones are released?
Well there is still the DS and the Gameboy but those play in their own league.
And I think weekly data for the Gameboy is incomplete

PS5 is releasing in 2-3 months, Nintendo has to fix their stock, because its their peak year
How is that a big fuck you to Japan :lol
They will priortize regions where they can get more sales.
Obviously they would loved to have more stock for GOT release
He should include DS and keep 3DS and mabe PS2. All the rest is useless at this point imo.
it's flat YOY and with August sales will be down. Was up only from March to May.
lol, it was mostly in jest.
That's predicated on the idea that PS5 adoption will be fast in Japan and that <1000 isn't an astronomically low amount to ship for a week.
Nintendo had shipped 8.97M Game Boy consoles in Japan in the first 16 quarters since launch.
Nintendo has shipped 14.59M Switch consoles in Japan in the first 14 quarters since launch.
Since the highs of the year during the spring, there has been a constant downshift in the number of available PS4s in Japan, multiple users here have written that stock levels are anemic, from Amazon to visiting local shops. During releases of their biggest titles, stock was horrible, <1000 units shipped given Sony's statement about shifting to PS5 production and reflected numbers was not out the realm of possibility.
Worldwide demand for the PS5 will be strong, so Sony can shift production priorities to US/EU/Rest of the World if Japan isn't hot. Its a global audience they are selling to.
Paper Mario is lower sales tier than just about any other Mario title. I guess I'd imagine that a Mario-led RPG adventure with amazing graphics and music could be a big franchise. TOK is so well written and crafted. I just feel like its sales potential was cut off by past entries and a divisive battle system. Feels very odd to me that Clubhouse games is outselling it.
I think you should give a little context to non-italian users because this is gold with Spider-Man being a PS4 exclusive and PS4 performing so poorly we have a song made by 883 claiming "Spider-Man was murdered"
But the Gameboy lived forever thanks to Pokemon and GB Color. Didnt it finish around 32M?
User banned (3 days): platform wars, prior bans for platform wars.
PS4 about to fall behind PS3 in Japan and selling worse than the even older 3DS this week. But we still see useless damage control arguments. The ongoing PS4 situation in Japan is embarassing especially for a giant corporation.
Are there weekly numbers for any systems between 3DS and DS? DS just seems too far off on it's own to expect them to get within a million of crossing (though I could be proven wrong).
Maybe some dotted lines representing the total sales of a few older systems can be added as filler until the Switch (hopefully) gets within DS spitting distance? For example the graph could count down to when the Switch passes the total sales of the SNES, than NES, etc.
You do realize that the 3DS is the 3rd best-selling system in Japan?
Everyone else just won't be relevant at all.
OP
OP
PS5 is heading for 7-8m in Japan, if it follows the worst scenario it won't be easy either.
Yeah I agree, still a bit too early but a safe bet would be that the PS5 overtakes the Vita LTD sales by.... 2026 ?
It did but since the graph is launch aligned it would take a lot until GB would be competitive.
As March 1997 GB was at 15.02M in Japan (8 years since the console launched in Japan that happened in April 1989).
I have not really thought about that. Yeah would make a comparison graph pretty useless.
That is a pretty unique salescurve GB has.
Do you have numbers maybe quarterly for GB/GBC after that 15mil mark?
Graph for each fiscal year (note: there was a change in the fiscal year period in 1989, the first two column could be considered the equivalent of a single fiscal year since GB was launched in April 1989):
Well yeah, but even when the Switch is outpacing the 3DS' launched aligned numbers it'll still be a while before it hits 24.5 million. There's gotta be a few systems whose lifetime total is between 16 million and 24 million. I was suggesting those could represented as a straight dotted line waiting to be crossed by the Switch.
P.S. Actually it just occurred to me you may havw been responding the first part of my post, not the second. In which case thats both really cool and slightly a bummer that there is nothing else to compare the Switch with except the DS. (Im guessing the second best selling system is the Gameboy which we don't have weeklies for, correct?)
How is this damage control ? By this logic This is same Console which outsold Switch for 2 weeks in April due to Switch Stock issues,
Was that also Damage Control ?
Damn, I get why the PS4 is supposed to be low but man you'd think they'd be able to send another 1k consoles to a market that is enjoying GoT. If this quarter's shipments worldwide are also noticeably lower than last, it would seem Sony is just straight killing the PS4 for the PS5.
I mean you are not wrong we have stuff in that Range:
GBA - 16.96M
SNES - 17.17M
PS - 18.86M
NES - 19.35M
PSP - 19.69M
PS2 - 21.98M
But we already have PS2, PSP and GBA in that graph and Switch is soaring well past them.
at least for now, it's obvious that sony doesn't really care about japan. japan will end up contributing less than 10 million to ps4's 130+ million sales, so it's understandable why they are not prioritizing japan right now. who knows, maybe things will change but it's basically guaranteed that ps5 will sell less than ps4 (which will sell than ps3 which sold less than ps2) too. with them getting out of the handheld market, their resources are probably better spent expanding in other regions.
why people is so upset about PS4 numbers?
yes, this week's numbers are pathetic, but there are reasons and it doesn't change that much to sell 2.000 units or 800 units a week, nowadays, for it
ofcourse, I can understand that below-1000 is a "milestone" and that it being unable to match PS3 sales IS something relevant for a sales-thread

Going by how hard Sony is slowing PS4 production I have no trust in it reaching 130+
Fair enough. I still like the idea personally but ultimately it's for hisa-kun to decide since it's their time being used to make the graphs, so I dont want to risk being pushy with an idea. If they don't think it fits their style I may give it a go myself. The graphs are half the fun with these threads for me so if there is a way I can give back without stepping on toes I may take it.
PS4 has to be over ps3 aligned before the ps5 arrives.... didn't you know??
Oof. I know that Sony doesn't care about hardware sales in Japan at this point, but I never expected weekly PS4 sales to drop below the 3DS this year.
This is going to be really touch and go. Somewhere, a frog is sitting on the edge of its lily pad.
Is the PS4 the strangest case of discrepancy between hardware and software sales? PS4 games seem to have sold decently enough all while the hardware continued to decline.
Though I guess it's potentially still affected by not being in stock? Maybe?
