Japanese Charts: Harvestella Blooms Into Second Place In A Huge Week For OLED Sales Nintendo Life

Queen of the crop by Share: Image: Square Enix After last week saw almost every game in the Japanese charts being a new release, things looks to have settled down a little more in this week's software sales. It should come as no surprise that continues to ink its name at the top spot, but this week also sees the charting debuts of and in second and third place respectfully. This was a particularly good showing from Square Enix's new farm sim, which recorded 26,644 units sold in the week. The first full week of November is back to being a good one for Nintendo overall. Only is pulled over for PlayStation from last week, with the remaining nine places all occupied by games on the Switch from and still selling well in fourth and fifth to continuing to hold on in tenth. Here's the full rundown on this week's software charts: [NSW] Splatoon 3 (Nintendo, 09/09/22) – 51,715 (3,287,416) [NSW] Harvestella (Square Enix, 11/04/22) – 26,644 (New) [NSW] Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom (Bandai Namco, 11/02/22) – 11,278 (New) [NSW] Bayonetta 3 (Nintendo, 10/28/22) – 10,103 (51,388) [NSW] Persona 5 Royal (ATLUS, 10/21/22) – 7,791 (65,829) [NSW] Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline (Square Enix, 09/15/22) – 7,781 (218,732) [NSW] (Microsoft, 06/21/18) – 7,602 (2,840,716) [NSW] (Nintendo, 04/28/17) – 7,501 (4,891,234) [PS4] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (Activision, 10/28/22) – 7,351 (31,722) [NSW] Ace Angler: Fishing Spirits (Bandai Namco, 10/27/22) – 6,854 (30,151) As for the hardware charts, we are back on terra firma this week. In case you missed it, last week saw the PlayStation 5 take the top spot as the best-selling console of the previous seven days - marking the first time it had outsold the Switch in as long as we can remember. The story could not be more different this week, as the Switch OLED boasts huge sales of 74,895 units compared to the PS5's 12,014 in third position. The Switch pops into second place this time, while the Switch Lite manages to crawl back from last week's sub-1000 performance to sell 1,714 units and take its spot in the top half of the charts again. Here's the week's hardware charts in all its OLED glory: Switch OLED Model – 74,895 (2,923,063) Switch – 13,869 (18,824,546) PlayStation 5 – 12,014 (1,796,038) – 2,663 (211,778) Switch Lite – 1,714 (4,905,047) PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 1,260 (283,885) Xbox Series X – 450 (167,006) PlayStation 4 – 257 (7,820,200) New 2DS LL (including 2DS) – 31 (1,189,119) We are rapidly approaching the release of on 18th November which we anticipate will shake up the charts more than a little. If the OLED can put up numbers like this prior to their release, however, then we could be in for a big week indeed. As always, let us know what you think of the latest Japanese charts in the comments! [source ] Share: Comments ) And... Everything returns to normal in the hardware charts this week. New 2DS still available at retail in Japan? Not seen one on store shelves in the UK for agesssss!!! Weeks at #1: 1 Lol, honestly, last week Nintendo needed a hardware refresh. Sales data is out of date the moment it is shared. Next year is going to be huge with or without a new Switch model. (But to be clear, I would buy one day one if any is reading!) But it's not a crime for PS5 and XBox to have huge years too lol. It was probably people holding out the prevuous week to buy the Pokémon OLED model. I can't wait to see what those Switch sale look like from the Scarlet and Violet release. Welp so much for that talk that PS5 would win two weeks in a row. Also Splatoon 3 legs still going good. god of war ragnarok will dominate world wide sales Wow that new Star Ocean game didn't last that long on the chart despite trying its best to avoid the Switch. It seems Tri-Ace's mediocre existence got the better of them now. Let's see how God of War Ragnarok will do next week, hopefully it could grab some big numbers before the money making Pokemon Scarlet and Violet joins the fray. "It should come as no surprise that Splatoon 3 continues to ink its name at the top spot, but this week also sees the charting debuts of Harvestella and Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom in second and third place respectfully." I think you mean respectively Smash Ultimate is dangerously close to the 5,000,000 units sold. We should find out tomorrow when 11-30 are released I wish the Japanese gamers give more appreciation for Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom PS5 version. Why don't they like the PS5 version even for the same games ? It's the pixels. And the frames. It's over in the land of the rising sun. God of War will change everything again next week. What Japan really needs is scowling white men with beards. Welp, some comments from last week aged like milk. Nintendo was/is probably stockpiling OLED models closer to Pokemon's launch. Hence the lower OLED numbers last week. Good to see P5R Switch and Bayonetta still in the top 10. Sounds like stocks were low and struggling to get replenished in Japan. Nintendo did say they weren't going to come out of the shortage untouched. Still blown away how fast the OLED model alone blew by the PS5 with ease. I don't know why people thought last week was some kind of "this is the end for Nintendo in Japan!" situation. Nintendo was saving OLED stock for Pokemon and Sony just happened to actually send Japan enough PS5 stock for once. Every now and then you have a wacky week like this such as when the Series outsold PS5 and everyone went crazy, before things return to normal the following week. The Switch is going to dominate the rest of the year with titles like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Dragon Quest Treasures and Crisis Core FF7 (curious to see the sales between that and PS4 as FF is usually associated with PlayStation and FF7 has a lot of history with the system, but I wouldn't be surprised if it sells more on Switch there). PS5 performance will depend on what stock Sony sends but I'm not expecting anything crazy until next year and even with games like FF16, who knows how that will sell in Japan. Labo outsold God of war 2018 in Japan. I am hyped as heck for it but don’t expect it to dominate there japan gamers are almost cult like they have obsession over certain games but god of war rafnarok will dominate world wide sales for sure.. I’m sure Gow will do great in Japan. I’m just exited. It will definitely be the best selling game for 2-3 weeks Bigger than Pokemon!? oh never mind it has a week of dominance than Pokémon takes over and a debate ensues again over wether Pokémon deserves all its sales. I swear Pokemon and politics are the 2 best ways to make reasonable adults regress into children Such is the way of things I doubt it. GOW isnt that popular in Japan. It may sell big, but who knows? Maybe, maybe not. We shall see. For Nov 8th? Absolutely, maybe not Japan though. We shall see. yep I think it’ll still sell well just not Dominate the charts for the next 3 months Here is hoping it will sell pretty well at least. It definitely will it’s the 11th best selling game on Amazon and the 4th most wishlisted cos PS5 is expensive trash filled with walking simulators and interactive movies. Japanese folk have taste and like gameplay over graphic numbers. Also are you lost, this is a Nintendo site lol Japanese have better tastes than balding white gammon you sound desperate ‍
Who said PS5 games are just only walking simulator games?
There are a lot of cartoonish games for kids on PS5 with better performance than Switch version and the reason I get hyped with PS5. facts Leave A Comment Hold on there, you need to to post a comment...
