Yakuza 8 Sales Are "Strong", Especially In Japan and Asia

Furthermore, sales in Japan and Asia seem to have made up a big part of this momentum, as Yokoyama notes, “The game is incredibly strong in Japan. Sales in (the rest of) Asia are also quite strong, but the momentum in Japan is even greater than in the past.”

switch 2 is announced, revealed to have a good price in Japan and many trailers are shown

people still buy switch 1

I wish I could invest in japanese switch 1 sales, I'd make so much money. Guess Nintendo stock will have to be it.

Last week Switch sold 30.489 units, you were supposed to sell less not more you silly console.

He takes the example of the launch of Metaphor: ReFantazio in early October: the title sold well in Japan, but it also performed extremely positively across the entire Asian continent, he tells us.

It's not as lopsided as something like Yakuza but a bit less than half of Metaphor WW sales are in Asia (because EMEA remains relatively weak for historical reasons)

That Switch 2 direct must've been some effective advertising, I see people are stocking up on Jamboree specifically for the Switch 2 update, I assume.

Armored Core VI Sold Over 700k Copies In Japan.

ARMORED CORE VI achieved a major success with over 700,000 units sold in Japan. Current sales reflects domestic sales.

How's Eric taking the tariff pause?

I don't think Wilds is breaking 1 million at this rate unless an expansion can save it.

Orange fella paused all his crazy ""reciprocal"" tariffs for 90 days (except for China). Now it's just the baseline 10% for everyone.

Judging by the desperate tone of the Switch 2 spam on the catalog: not well.

no tariffs for any country for 90 days but china, which got it increased to 125%, which funnily enough will end up hurting sony the most instead of Nintendo.

Nintendo this, PlayStation this

How come Anon Babble never talks about Xbox in these threads?

Xbox literally died and it's releasing all their games to Chad PlayStation

If anything PlayStation will just get stronger, they don't have direct competition anymore and Sony's stock just reached a new all time high, not to mention that they had their most profitable quarter ever

Also, Japanese are clinically retarded, why are they still buying Switches when Switch 2 is coming out soon?

Japan needs to get obliterated by the U.S just like they did several decades ago

Nice to see that the Samurai Nigger game flopped fucking hard, maybe Americans will stop obsessing with people of Colour

What is that and what happened?

Trump went schizo on April 2nd saying every country was gonna get tariffed, especially targeting economies like Vietnam and Cambodia where the switch 2 production was shifted after Chinese production seemed to be in danger during the switch 1 days. Yesterday the tariffs came into effect, everyone started dumping US Treasury bonds, Trump blinked and paused all tariffs except china which is at 125%, leaving only a blanket 10% on the others, (PS5 is 100% made in china.) until June 9th.

Switch – 35.041 (35.439.356)

Went up after Switch 2 Direct

lol

Did Trump pause the tariffs so Baron could pre order a Switch 2?

Well, at least my old prediction for the Nintendo Megacorp Cyberpunk Future is still on track. If the Switch 2 sells as well as the first, we should begin to worry.

mario party back on top

l m a o

Sony's stock just reached a new all time high

Huh?

If that's true then PS5 sales in the US are going to be grim going forward but the 2nd hand market for it is going to be fantastic.

Yes, he was getting scared of gamers, you don't ever mess with us.

Recovered to stable from a gigantic dip that wiped out billions of yen = all time high apparently

Not even Trump can defeat the Nintendo ninjas

every single Switch game barring Xenoblade up from last week

Nintendomination is real

Now the question is if they are preparing for the Switch 2 upgrade or not which would be hilarious.

You WILL understand, Trump-san.

Update your bot, eric.
These 3 are all coming too, so get ahead of the curve.

Leave luck to heaven folks.
