[Weekly software and hardware sales figures] "Paper Mario Thousand Year Door" tops the charts for the second week in a row! With "Tokyo Psychodemic" also ranking, total Switch sales exceed 33 million units [5/27 - 6/2]​


Sales rankings announced by Famitsu. Here is a summary of the estimated weekly sales figures for video games and hardware from May 27 to June 2, 2024.

Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door was a big seller again this week, selling 34,004 units. With a total of 149,653 copies sold it has topped the charts for two consecutive weeks. This is an RPG in which Mario and his friends play a role as thin as paper, it is a remake of the title released for the GameCube in 2004. Various aspects have been improved such as improved graphics and the addition of new elements so we can expect continued sales in the future.

From second place onwards, there are a number of enduringly popular titles such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing : New Horizons and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Among them the one that is worth paying attention to is Tokyo Psychodemic: Special Investigation Case Files which ranked seventh.

It is an adventure game in which you solve the mystery of supernatural incidents by utilizing authentic scientific investigation tools and working with your friends. This new title is also attracting attention because it is directed by Akiyoshi Imai who has worked on the Tokyo Majin Gakuen Densetsu series and Kowloon Youma Gakuen Ki.

Meanwhile looking at hardware, the Nintendo Switch sales remain strong with cumulative domestic sales now exceeding 33 million units.

They really should give Stellar Blade a price promo while the iron is still hot.

PS5 sales will fall behind PS4 cone early next year and why the fuck is Xbox the only console up YOY???

Series S is better value proposition than X or PS5?

Japs in some contexts can be considered a slur.
That's a thing of the past
Is it?
If it is, then I don't know what's caused the surge, big price drop maybe? If it's not, then maybe it would explain why Xbox is moving units? If the Japs are happy with switch, there's no reason to believe that the series S wouldn't be good enough.

DEAL WITH IT!
