@marck13,

Usually when one side suggesst threats to democracy, they usually mean threats to their own version of democracy.

And I am usually very wery when a particular side bangs on about threats to democracy, while at the same time saying and doing things, that are totally undemocratic.

Re: Japanese Charts: Paper Mario Dominates As The Switch Scores A Full House

You can put together all the massive essays you want, but you are not really putting any real arguments supporting the PS5's sales in Japan, which are mediocre at best, and beating the X Box is a none event, as all you are really saying is one poor sellong console, is outselling an even poorer selling one.

All you seem to be suggesting, is that because you and Indonesia love the console, then it's selling well, when in reality it's pretty shocking it can't even beat the sales of a seven year old hybrid, that pretty much everyone and their dog already owns, on a regular basis, or even manage to equal it for that matter.

You need to pull your head out of the sand and face facts, no matter how much you prefer the games or console, it's bombing in Japan, pure and simple, with no way to put a positive spin on it.

I like the way you are loving the machine, and it's games, but facts are facts, in the west the PS5 is doing very well, in Japan it's not.

@Anti-Matter,

Japanese gamers on the whole do not support no Japanese consoles, so comparing anything to the Xbox is pointless, the PS5 is bombing hard in Japan, hell, you could even get PS5 consoles when there was the artificial shortage due to scalping bots everywhere else.

Never suggested you did not like your Switch or Animal crossing anymore, but trying to spin anything positive about PS5 sales in Japan, is just a pointless exercise.

@PinderSchloss,

I doubt that, outside of the core obsessives, people do not really care, it's just another franchise to them, plus the PS5 sales seem to have stalled a little, the console might struggle to get to PS4 numbers.

Plus, wetting the game on Playstation is in the options, pretty sure that includes the PS5.

@OldGamer999,

I think you are overthinking things a little, outside of making money off a Lego version of the game, the rest seems a stretch to be honest, and the game will be sold on the PS5 and Series X as well, plus these are not massive sellers in the first place.

You did lose me a little when you said big persons console, as the Switch demographic is already pretty wide.

So the definitive way to play the thousand year door comes third, and the original version is in first place, wirh Paper Mario 2 sandwiched between the two.

Honestly, you could not create people on here if you tried.
