 So the latest numbers are in from Femitsu, for those that don't know who Femitsu is, they are a magazine publisher, they have a gaming magazine out in Japan, all that jazz, and they put up sales figures every single week for Japan. And yeah, pretty much everything's dead, but switch. And switch itself, just kind of cruising along at a really high volume without any new notable releases. Alright, before we get into it, I gotta remind everyone, we are giving away three copies of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, baby. You want to enter for that? Go to the Gleam.io link down in the description. Winners will be announced on the first. Also, if you join our Patreon at patreon.com. For as little as $1 a month, you get 15 entries into every giveaway we do. We have a second giveaway as well for a Switch Lite into Switch Games of Choice again. Go down to the description. Big long list of ways to enter. Alright, let's get into this. Now, as you're seeing here with the Femitsu sales list, we're first going to go over the software. Because at number one, for consecutive weeks in Japan, the home country of Switch is Ring Fit Adventure. Selling 43,459 units, it's actually a 32% decrease week over week. But that game is now over 1.5 million. Ring Fit Adventure just keeps giving and giving and giving and I gotta admit, having tried it myself, Ring Fit Adventure is pretty legit. I'm just saying. At number two, up from one spot last week, is Animal Crossing New Horizons. That game's almost at 5.7 million. It's sold 31,000 units. After that, we get some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Action at number three, moving 12,280 units. It is obviously over 3 million. We did have one new release for Switch this week. Well, I guess two, but this is the highest rated one. At number four, Minecraft Dungeons Hero Edition from Microsoft at 11,450. At number five, we have Clubhouse Games, 51 worldwide classics. Don't forget, that is a brand new game that came from Nintendo this year. People don't talk about it as much as they probably should, but it's sold 9,620 units. It is over the $350,000 unit mark there. PlayStation 4, Marvel's Avengers is at number six, was at number two, but it had a 82% drop-off down to 7,892, about 50,000 or so units are sold of that. At number seven is a new PlayStation 4 game, Metal Max Zeno Reborn. It sold 7,789 units. The Switch version of it actually is right behind it at 7,277. Then you get Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. That game popping in at 6,761. It is almost a 4 million. It's probably going to cross 4 million at some point here in the next six months. Then you have Pokemon Sword and Shield, chiming in with 6,492 units. That one is also likely going to cross 4 million units sometime in the next six months. Remember, there's DLC still coming for that this year, by the way. Nintendo, I mean, it was recently reconfirmed with a little trailer, but I'm just saying that there's still some Pokemon action to go into. Now we get into the hardware. This is where things are just...Nintendo's on cruise control. So for those who don't know, in Japan, they're still doing lotteries at some retailers for Switch purchases. AKA, you put your name in a hat, they draw it out, and you get an opportunity to buy a Switch because they can't keep it in stock. It is selling out week to week. So when you see these numbers, this is basically how many units Nintendo could get into Japan that week. And right now, for this week, it's 83,920 units. 30,458 of those were Nintendo Switch lights, whereas 53,462 were the Red Box normal Switch editions. Yeah, that's an increase over the 77,611 before last week, and a 30,000, 32,000 to be exact, increase over last year at the same point. Year-to-date, they are at 3,773,514 units. Yeah, they're going to be over 4 million before we even get to October, which is a big deal. I mean, Super Mario 3D All-Stars isn't even out. Think about this. The sales data for this is the 7th through the 13th. So the next sales data is going to be the 13th through the 19th. That is going to include, you guessed it, Super Mario 3D All-Stars. How much do you want to bet that these sales may be double because Nintendo prepared for this launch and we see 150,000 to 200,000 Switches sold? How many units do you think Super Mario 3D All-Stars is going to debut at in Japan? I mean, gosh, are we looking at 500,000? That's what I'm going with. I'm going with 500,000 for a debut in Japan, which is massive. All right, so last year to date, we see they're almost twice as much as the year before, and yeah, it's at 15 million. Now, I don't know if it'll ever catch 3DS. 3DS is still sitting there at that 24 million. They're not making 3DSs anymore. That means 8 million more Switches at the sell during the lifetime in Japan. So we'll see. There's definitely some hope that Nintendo can pull that off. PlayStation 4 is at number two. So in 2,161 units. Not that much, you know. Then again, next gen's around the corner. So to be expected, a big drop off from last year where they sold 27,000. Year to date, they haven't even at half a million yet. You guys have seen that on screen. And yeah, they obviously did that. They were 800,000 the year before. Switch passed them a long time ago. They're at 9,200,000 in Japan. 3DS sold 849. It's just trickling along. Nintendo doesn't even make 3DSs anymore for those that missed that news because I focused on the direct this morning. 3DS is done. They're no longer making it. So I mean, these numbers are going to do end a little more and more. And Xbox, it exists. It's not that hard to get word of Japan if you really want one. So yeah, there you go. That is some pretty good numbers for Nintendo. Remember, right now, there's no big game. Now, this upcoming week, this upcoming sales data, this is when things get really interesting. We're going to get Super Mario 3D All-Star sales data. You guys know we'll be doing a video on that covering that. Hopefully, if the game blows up really, really big, Nintendo's going to do an announcement anyways. I'm like, total sales worldwide if it's some record-breaking thing. We don't know if it will be that, of course. Remember, the current fastest-selling switch game of all time is Animal Crossing New Horizons that came out earlier this year where it sold like 10 million units in three days or something. It was insane. So we'll see if Super Mario 3D All-Stars can touch that or come close. But it's definitely going to do big numbers. There's no doubt it's going to do big numbers because all of the pre-orders that are sold out, guess what? That all counts for day one sales. All that data goes into day one, let alone the retail units on store shelves. Basically, I think Nintendo sold as many of these units as they could get out there. And we have digital sales to throw on top. So, yeah, it's going to be insane numbers next week. But yeah, for a week with no major new releases, 80,000 just chilling along, Nintendo can't meet demand. They just can't meet demand. And I don't know how they're going to meet demand the rest of the way because it doesn't stop. 3D All-Stars comes, right? You know, the Mario 35 at the beginning of next month. You've got Pikmin 3 Deluxe. You have Age of Calamity. That's the next three months right there. And this isn't even county third-party games. There's going to be more third-party games coming out as well during this span. So, yeah, Nintendo is sitting pretty. Let me tell you. Nintendo is sitting pretty. And I feel like this is exactly why they wanted to do that extra investors meeting, was to be like, hey, guys, don't worry about us. We're good. Let's get all of our Switch Online subscriptions. Look at our growth. Look at the money we're making. Like, Nintendo didn't really suffer from this recession other than the fact we haven't gotten a regular direct or an E3 direct because, well, it didn't happen. And Nintendo obviously struggled in some areas. But it sounds like behind the scenes that a couple Nintendo games that were going to come this year have been pushed to 2021. Games that haven't been announced yet. And that happens. It's a pandemic. But I can't be mad with how the year's ending. 3D All-Stars, Age of Calamity. I mean, potentially Bravely Default II in December. I'll take that. I mean, that's a good end to the year. A solid end to the year. Anyways, I'm Nintendo RoboJance from Nintendo Prime. Let me know what you think about these Japanese sales. Do you want to see me continue to cover the sales every week? Or would you rather me just wait until, you know, something big happens, like a launch of a game? I mean, next week we're clearly going to cover it because a hello, Super Mario 3D All-Stars. But yeah, you guys let me know what you think. Alright, bye.
