On November 21st, a Japanese launguage only, digital only PS5 will release in Japan for 55k yen.

That's a drop from the 67k yen the digital SKU currently goes for, but still more than the 44k yen it launched at.

Doing the same as Nintendo to remain price competitive in Japan

Best selling games for the year so far, October update.

This week, total sales of Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan overtook those of the Dreamcast, that's 2.55m vs. 2.49m, 4 1/2 years undone in 22 weeks.

Next up is the Wii U at 3.30m

(The sudden downturn in Switch 2 sales is Famitsu hard adjusting their data)

Could've been a bigger launch, but the announcement of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined took some interest.

Its the 8th biggest launch on PS5 yet, 4th biggest for Swtich 2.

Comparing retail launch sales with Dragon Quest I & II with other remakes in the series.

Nearly half of last year's DQIII, but a bigger launch than other remakes of DQ I & II.

Should be over 600k with digital, good launch.

Retail launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in Japan is slightly higher than that of Legends: Arceus

It's the 3rd biggest Pokémon launch for the past decade, only behind Scarlet/Violet & Sun/Moon

+2 million with digital is expected, it'll likely be the best selling game of the year

Comparing retail launch sales of the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster in Japan with other FF spin offs of the last 10 years.

Better than Stranger of Paradise, but not much else to say, rather mid launch, but not unexpeced given the "simplicity" of the remaster.

Ghost of Yotei had the fifth biggest launch for a PS5 title in Japan yet.

It's the biggest launch for a first party PS title since Gran Turismo 7.

A 43% drop from Ghost of Tsushima, more than I was hoping, but not bad given PS5 game sales

There's been some issues with the site the past few weeks, some pages not displaying data properly

All that should be resolved and things should work smoothly going foward

Say, given the 2014 Top 1000 update we got recently, here are the top selling games on PS3 and Xbox One

Retail launch sales of Silent Hill f in Japan are the third highest of the series, only below the first couple of games.

Most likely the series biggest launch with digital.

About twice as much as last year's Silent Hill 2 remake, which already outsold.
