Another multiplatform release selling better on Switch than on PS4. Even a year ago some things were unthinkable. Japanese players are really migrating over Switch, even those who were traditionally Sony purchasers.

Not bad hardware for Switch.

Nice Switch numbers!

Goldenh · Aug 6, 2020

I was expecting Switch to dip to 60k, well 86k is still great.

Sub 100k week for Switch. Still good though.

Surprised to see it at top 10 given the reports of stock shortage.

cw_sasuke · Aug 6, 2020

Solid numbers all around.

Nothing particularly surprising this week.

zero_suit · Aug 6, 2020

Uneventful week

fiendcode · Aug 6, 2020

Man, Fairytale face planted.

Mediocre Gundam sales, it basically matched the universally hated Versus. Really could've used a handheld release.

Comic Obsessed · Aug 6, 2020

Okay for Fairy Tail?

I guess Switch can't keep over 100K forever. Solid performance though.

u_neek · Aug 6, 2020

Fairy Fail?

eBaseball still higher on switch? thought there were stock issues there. did konami put out more, or is this the last of the remaining stock?

Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. MaxiBoost On had a good launch, this round Harada wins.

DeuceGamer · Aug 6, 2020

Switch HW under 100k, but it still beat last year by ~50k units. It keeps widening the gap from last year and has nearly doubled it at this point. Incredible.

Numberfox · Aug 6, 2020

Leggy games be legging.

Deleted member 37233 · Aug 6, 2020

I'm still a bit puzzled why they choose Fairy Tail of all things.

NPTinker · Aug 6, 2020

the leg for paper mario is good

Napalm_Frank · Aug 6, 2020

Are they literally sending all stock of Ring Fit to Japan? Really hard to find in EU right now.

OfficerRaichu15 · Aug 6, 2020

I feel paper Mario will be over 400k with the next report coming in. It's been doing very well on the eshop. I think it's gonna be a big success worldwide.

Jarod McChicken · Aug 6, 2020

Well Ghost of Tsushima will beat Spider-Man even quicker than I imagined. Sucker Punch will have the last word in the PS4 first party category.

great Ring Fit legs, nothing more to see here

lightning16 · Aug 6, 2020

Seems like poor sales for Fairy Tail, but at least it seems like it had an extraordinarily low budget so I doubt it'll be a big loss. Still, fun game so sorta sad to see. Expected, but sad.

lexony · Aug 6, 2020

When Nintendo says that the digital ratio for Animal Crossing form April to June was around 50%, does this mean the game already sold around 8-10 million in japan?

let's say that I hope Koei didn't pay that much for the license

JavelinR · Aug 6, 2020

I think the current total, through June 30th, is 7.15 million.

3.84 million in Q4 2019

3.31 million in Q1 2020

(Edit: These numbers were for Animal Crossing sales in Japan with digital btw. I meant to quote lexony but the quote didn't link. Oh well, looks like I was too slow anyways lol.)

Sub-50k drop, that is.

Sub 100k week for Switch. Still good though.

Also:

08./06. [NSW] eBaseball Powerful Pro Baseball 2020 <SPT> (Konami) {2020.07.09} (¥6.980) - 13.341 / 159.030 (-37%)

Surprised to see it at top 10 given the reports of stock shortage.

eBaseball still higher on switch? thought there were stock issues there. did konami put out more, or is this the last of the remaining stock?

These were the last copies left of the shipment. However, I'm already seeing restocks, so the game might be safe after all.

I'm still a bit puzzled why they choose Fairy Tail of all things.

I'm pretty sure they did a poll/survey and Fairy Tail got the most interest.

The Ring Thing will end with the most unbelievable sales chart in history.

Is fairy tail popular in Japan? Sales look pretty bad tbh

Don't worry too much, they just put DLC out that costs three times as much as the game lol

a wise business model!

Another multiplatform release selling better on Switch than on PS4. Even a year ago some things were unthinkable. Japanese players are really migrating over Switch, even those who were traditionally Sony purchasers.

Is this your normal reasoning for a console that is on its way out?

Why is eBaseball stock Switch there and PS4 isn't? I thought there were less stocks of it than PS4?

Harada must be happy with Gundam sales. And I am very impressed with Ghost of Sushima

Ok so PS4 is on its way out.

PS5 is going to have a crappy domestic lineup and insanely high price.

So...what other options are there?

They probably asked an internet forum.
