Japan sales week 51: Total Nintendo domination

Azelover

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
Reminds of the PS2 launch for some odd reason..

I think it's that shade of blue!

Microsoft is also flourishing by closing the gap with the PlayStation during the launch year of XSX in Japan,
Everybody gets a Win!

2014 PS4 vs X1
PS4 - 970.667 (95.8%)
X1 - 43.267 (4.2%)

2020 PS5 vs XSX

PS5 - 241.962 (88.6%)
XSX - 31.219 (11.4%)
Great to see.. Sony badly need the competition in japan.

Absolute domination. Really scary situation where Nintendo Switch is pretty much the only console for Japanese gamers in the new few years.
can't really say i feel bad for sony, they clearly lowered investment in anything japan to go full hollywood. and their shitty internal policies
it's paying off in the western markets and they seems happy enough

OK, I've been hearing some buzz about a game called Momotaro?

Apparently it's based on some traditional japanese story?

Why is this so relevant all of a sudden? I've been gaming for a while and I never heard about this before..

sort of, it's a spin off of the ancient rpg series that combine japan's love of the character with their love of trains, board games and puns
momotaro densetsu -> momotaro dentetsu (get it, one sound change turns story/tradition into train)
so they made a board game train simulator off of a silly pun,
the series was always pretty popular in japan, pretty big in the early days on the pc engine, but always a good 250k seller even on the 3ds release nearly a decade ago.
As for the sudden huge surge, well I told a bad joke a few pages back that should explain it pretty well

Thank you. I was late to the topic.

The Switch is on a roll, isn't it?
 

Analysts give 2021 predictions​



examples:

Mat Piscatella, NPD

Despite the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, it will be the Nintendo Switch that ends up selling the most units of console hardware in 2021. I will go a step further and suggest this will be driven by content and promotional efforts rather than the release of a new iterative model.

Dr. Serkan Toto, Kantan Games

Switch Pro launches. Yes, I know, I know. I predict a beefed-up 4K device is coming during Nintendo's next financial year. And let it be said: "Switch" is just a word.
Everybody expecting the Switch to run out of steam in 2021 is in for a bitter disappointment. The Switch will be the best-selling console this year as well, driven by more first-party games, a hardware refresh (see above), and the device having developed into a lifestyle product for the mass market over the course of 2020.
Personally, I like the new Xbox but believe Sony's PS5 will be significantly ahead at the end of 2021 in terms of both hardware and software sales globally. In Japan (where I am based), Sony is very likely to miss the PS4's first-year sales numbers because of Nintendo's continuing dominance in both companies' home market.

Piers Harding-Rolls, Ampere Analysis

I expect Nintendo's Switch family of devices to be the best-selling consoles again in 2021 following a very strong 2020. Last year I was unconvinced there would be a new flagship model Switch in 2020, but it makes more commercial sense to release an updated version in 2021. I currently have an updated version of the Switch in my forecasts for 2021.

Overall, 2021 is going to be a big year for the console sector, with Switch devices expected to sell in large numbers (currently expecting ~24 million) and next-gen consoles fresh to the market (combined sales forecast to hit ~25 million), segment growth will be substantial even against the backdrop of a pandemic-induced recession.
I expect production of Xbox One S and PS4 Pro to cease in 2021. PS5 will outsell the combined total of Xbox Series X|S on a global basis. I'm expecting PS5 shipments of around 8.5 million by the end of March 2021.

Previously I suggested a next-gen PSVR could arrive in 2021 but I'm now expecting it in 2022 at the earliest.

Hope the Pokemon DLC did well enough for GameFreak to stop releasing a separate enhanced version of the games.
