Japanese Charts: Donkey Kong Starts To Slip As Mario Party Rolls Back Into Pole Position

PS5 is on number 3, followed by PS5 Pro is on number 4. 🙂
Not bad.

good charts this week ^_^ glad mario party jamboree is getting the attention it deserves, so fun!

This is not what I thought "the future" would be like, for games.

@Anti-Matter please change the record my friend. It feels like trolling every week. The same comment every week without fail.

It is trolling @DuncanBalls.

@-wc- the future is now, old man

Wow just so random to see It Takes Two up there, thought that game was out a long time ago but I guess it's just now that the physical edition made it to Japan.

@Duncanballs If he likes PlayStation, then let him like PlayStation. Just because he does this doesn't mean he's trolling.

@Anti-Matter Even better with Switch OLED in 1st and Switch Lite in 2nd love my Zelda Switch Lite so much with the PlayStation 5s sandwiched with the original Switch, can't wait for the Switch 2 to come along, can't say I'm surprised with Donkey Kong but Super Mario Party Jamboree deserves the top slot,it's the Mario Kart 8 of Mario Parties, just hope we get some more dlc maps.

@shiftbarackyeaugh I have no issue with him liking PlayStation. Repeating the same comment every week without fail is tiresome. "I like PlayStation but sales this gen are not great in Japan. I wonder if they will dip when SW2 comes out? I liked the Vita. Perhaps a new handheld from Sony could compete". There you go. I talked about how I liked Sony made my comment current and linked it to Nintendo, all on a Nintendo site. Completely made up but illustrates that the same comment doesn't have to be repeated every week.

On other threads we get the constant, I'll get it on PS5 instead of Switch because it will run better. Who knew the PS5 was more powerful?! I don't need to be told that on every multiplat thread.

@Duncanballs ok those are actually some good points you're correct

Yep I think the global sales for DK HD are really missing there mark.

@N00BiSH

"the future is now, old man"

right on both counts, my friend. 😅✌️

That’s one tough roach to kill.

The Switch has still not dipped below 40K units cumulative sold weekly yet. I wonder if that figure will hold strong until April?

@Axecon It is amazing it's still keeping above 40k.. A true testament to the unrelenting longevity of the Switch, especially in Japan.

@Anti-Matter I have to say my friend, the position is not bad, if you wanna look at it like that… but the NUMBERS are atrocious.

@AmplifyMJ
Well, from my point of view even the PS5 unit have shipped by thousand units, it looked good to me.
At least PS5 sales is better than XBOX.

@kmtrain83 No, barely down. Switch 2 was revealed on January 16th. In that week Switch sold 47.560 units, then 45.327 units the following week with tiny declines each week since then.

@Anti-Matter

With all due respect, those are the numbers of a dying platform. 14,000 combined across multiple SKU’s? Considering Switch is several years older, and behind it when it comes to technology, and is still destroying it in sales is very telling!

I know you like games like Bluey, but it takes a lot more than that to sell a platform to the masses.

@BanjoPickles
Here is the thing.
From my point of view , at least 10K units of PS5 sales is something that I considered good for me.
Good here that means decent, Not Perfect, Not Awesome since I knew PS5 sales will not better than Switch.
But at least the thing I can do when looking at PS5 sales is by praising the number of shipped.
It doesn't look that bad compared with XBOX sales that will never catch up PS5 sales.
Also, am I supposed to talk trash about PS5 sales just because everybody said so?
I said NO.
I disagree.
I have rights to defend the PS5 sales when they still selling with decent numbers and stay on at least Top 5 position.
At least this is one positivity I can share for supporting the video game machines.
Whenever I posted again my positivity about PS5 sales, just let me said so.
I have no intention to troll, I just only posted my little support for PS5 since I have PS5 machine and the games too so I would like to see PS5 stay survive until PS6 machine replaced PS5.

To summarize this, when you said the PS5 sales was terrible, in opposite I said PS5 sales is good, Not great.
That's my entitled opinion about PS5 sales.
I will say PS5 sales is bad when the number of shipped is like Wii U sales situation that made me really concerned.

How nice it must be to play Mario Party on a working Switch with functioning joy-con.
Alas, it’s a feeling I will never know thanks to Nintendo’s greed.

@Serpenterror total unit sales for It Takes Two are 123,650, physical has been out for a while.

@PinderSchloss I had drifting Joycons after about 3 years. Did the small piece of cardboard fix and they've worked flawlessly since. £10 for a tri wing kit and YouTube. I'm not endorsing Nintendo in this, just suggesting a fix that worked for me if anyone has drift.

@Anti-Matter Nobody wants you to trash talk PS5 but maybe you could just not add the exact same comment week after week, or perhaps post on Push Square or another PlayStation website instead?

I got Jamboree recently, and I must say, it's a lot better than the previous version on Switch. I love it! Nintendo really listened to the fans on that one. But given the size of the Mario Party franchise, I'm surprised it took them 3 games to get it right on Switch!

@Rob3008

I think that’s exactly it! This is not a dedicated video game site, but a Nintendo site! It’s like going to a school’s pep rally to root for the team they’re playing against!

@Anti-Matter

You’re definitely entitled to your opinion, but it’s very confusing to me that you’re on a Nintendo site rooting exclusively for Sony’s console.

And that’s great that you’re trying to be positive—positivity is a good thing—but 14,000 units sold in a week is simply not a good number. That’s 56,000 units to Nintendo’s 160,000+ and Nintendo’s system is much older, and so much less powerful.

And everybody is going to sell better than Xbox in Japan. I think even Microsoft has to acknowledge, by now, that they’ll never crack that market. I’m not going to consider the XBOX Series X a success because it sold more units this week than the PS4. A console isn’t successful relative to the failures of their competitors. The Gamecube outsold Dreamcast by 20 million units. It doesn’t mean it was a success.

@BanjoPickles Agree. The reality is that we are all probably rooting for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. It's the industry we love and without competition we lose innovation. No one wants to see any company fail or not do well but that's life, 1 will always do better. Agreed, on a Nintendo dedicated website, the conversation as expected and naturally would lean towards Nintendo .... It's not Harry Potter, "he who shall not be named" but I like to think that the conversation of any company in this industry here on this website is in context to Nintendo and not just solely on Sony. I think we are all landing on the same point. 👍
