Likely folks are waiting on the OLED model. Ni no Kuni 2 did better than I expected.
I'm sure the decline in sales has nothing to do with a new model coming out in 2 weeks.
Love how the Xbox has improved in sales! It went from couple of hundred to a consistent 1000+ the last couple of months. ✖️🔲
Ouch! Sales already dipping. Time for the pro nintendo.
@Thatsalie more like it's time for Nintendo to pack it in and go third-party!
@IronMan30 Go third party only, right in the middle of one of their biggest hardware successes in a long time? What are you talking about?
Looks like last week was the worst week of Switch sales in Japan all year. Makes sense, with the impending launch of the OLED model.
@Alix
That was clearly sarcasm lol
Time for Sony to make a move! …….
I blame Kirby.
I'll be concerned when the Switch hits Wii Us 4th year sales figures. Until then, non news.
Yeap looks like everyone is waiting for the Switch OLED now. Nice to see Ni no Kuni 2 back on the chart. I figure these are the ones interest in a portable version.
Enjoying replaying No No Kuni 2 this time on switch. Played it on the PS4 back when it first came out but never did any DLC. Great game. If you didn't like the first, just know this one has a much better combat system more akin to the Tales games.
@Alix ^^^ whoooosh
@ItsJustAnotherGamer That was my takeaway too. Way to bury the lede, NL!
I wonder how long Tales of Arise will stick around there?
Xbox is fitting to hit 100k by end of November! Pretty good for year 1
Xbox Series X just missed the 4th place and the PS5 digital edition by 3 units. How far they have come!
@Alix sorry my sarcasm was not more obvious...
@ItsJustAnotherGamer I was surprised to see that too. I also thought Sony stopped allowing Senran Kagura games on PlayStation. Wonder how the Neptunia cast will fit in!
@IronMan30 @Alix You have to add lots of !!!!!111111 and emojis. Also as a better safe than sorry have a clear
THIS IS SARCASM
and
THAT WAS SARCASM
Sandwiching it.
@XenoShaun yes, I should make more sarcasm sandwiches.
@IronMan30 Your sarcasm was on point.
@IronMan30 Can never go wrong with those ingredients.
@GrailUK well, thank you.
...I'll get to this game eventually...playing the first game first. Got it for $12 on the eShop. lol
