This week, “Detective Pikachu Lightning Returns” still won the championship with a sales volume of 16,248 units, and its cumulative sales exceeded 100,000, which is almost equal to the career sales of the previous game. However, because of the gift of special cards to increase buying power, this game declined significantly faster than the previous game. In the second week, only 20% of the first week was left, making it a very launch-focused game. However, the digestion rate does not seem to be as bad as originally expected. In addition, second-hand prices have collapsed but new product prices have not been affected. In two months, there will be a business war during the year-end holiday, which should avoid the embarrassing situation of jumping out of the building to sell out.
Next, “Pikmin 4” returned to second place with a sales volume of 14,114 units, and its cumulative sales officially exceeded 900,000. It has been on sale for about three months and has been able to maintain sales of more than 10,000 units. Its sustainability is really amazing. If it can continue to be maintained, coupled with the acceleration of buying momentum brought about by the holiday business war, I believe it is a certainty to reach the one million sales mark within the year.

New games this week include “After World”, launched by the founder of “Rune Factory” in cooperation with Bushido Company, entering the fourth place with a sales volume of 6,464 units, and “Hot Blood Story SP”, a new game in the long-lived action game series, both released on Nintendo Switch. Sales volume of 5,722 units, and the PlayStation 4 version of the game with 1,831 units sold ranked eighth and 29th.
Although “The World After” is said to have “Rune Factory” as its calling, it is, after all, a brand-new work that has nothing to do with it. Even the company that launched it is different. In addition, the development of “Rune Factory” itself has not been very good in recent years. , how much appeal is left is also a question, so such performance is not surprising. As for “Story of Blood SP”, after the copyright was transferred to Arc System Works, it has always adopted a small business strategy. Moreover, this game is actually a high-definition ported version of the game of the same name on the 3DS console. It should be said that it is at the average level of the series in recent years. .

In terms of consoles, there was a significant decline this week. First of all, the three models of the Nintendo Switch family sold a total of 44,470 units. It can be speculated that this is purely due to the demand driven purely by the quasi-special console “Mario Red” OLED model. , has been digested last week, and the “Super Mario Bros. Surprise” game will not be officially released until next week, making this week a very short window period, but you can also look forward to watching it next week when the game is officially released. To a surprising recovery.
On the other hand, the two PlayStation 5 models sold a total of 19,709 units. As expected last week, the company is obviously unwilling to continue selling the console in Japan at the price before the price increase. Before the new version of the console is officially released, shipments should They will all be deliberately suppressed to a very low level.
