.

Before starting the preparations for the arrival of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in Japan, this last week of November had two good outings and had the influence of at least two major sales phenomena.

The largest is the most obvious, but the 47th week of the year was marked by the beginnings of Battlefield V and Shenmue I & II on PS4. Good warriors who did not resist much to the pocket monsters and who succumbed several times the following week, as stated in the current text.

Before commenting on the software, here is the detailed data on hardware sales for the forty-eighth week of the year (November 26th to December 2nd) ). in Japan, according to Media Create.

There is little left for the Nintendo Switch to exceed the installed base of Japan's failed PlayStation Vita. If you keep the Nintendo 64 more than 100,000 units sold a week, will probably open the 300,000 consoles advantage by the end of the year.

It's worth noting that the PS4 Pro already accounts for half of the new PS4 consoles sold in Japan, and that the Xbox One X sells much less, already represents almost all the new Xboxes sold there. Too bad that the Japanese do not like the black box of Microsoft much.

By the way, we can clearly see that the PS Vita is being replaced by the Switch. Even though Uncle Laguna believes that Sony will not manufacture another laptop, it would be difficult for Japanese shareholders not to put pressure on the company for it to take action in this regard. Will he launch a portable version of PS4 after the release of PS5?

Whatever the case may be, we have less than the Japanese Top 20 of the forty-eighth week of this year. In parentheses is the platform; in parentheses at the end, the cumulative sale of the title since the Japanese launch.

Atlus began the development of Persona Q2 shortly after Persona 5 and if, let's face it, this brown surrender in the game PS4 (ranked 11th to the 36th week ) Marketing badistance of this one. Fallout 76 did not have the same luck: some "Zé Cultivo" from Bethesda thought it would be a good idea to start a game like 46th week of the year, identical at the launch of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee . Silly business strategy mistake, although it sold pretty well in the accumulated. Although it may be worse: in Japan, Bethesda has promised no duffel bag in the face of a collector's edition …
