Media Creation Sales List for April 16-22

Media Creation released a weekly report on Japanese sales (devices/games) as follows:

Devices Sales

The devices continue to decline during the current period, which is normal this time of year. Nintendo Switch tops the list as usual but with a big decline in performance compared to last year, which was suffering from problems of shortage of shipments and it's not happening now.

PlayStation 4 live a strange situation and especially the normal version of it that suffers from problems with shipments! This is usually the case with a new version of the device or preparing to lower the price, which Sony does not intend to do so the lack of shipments is strange for the device. The pro version of the device "available, especially with the release of the game of God of War" achieved sales higher than the normal device that faces the problems of shipments. 3DS continues to decline significantly in performance compared to Last year.

The Nintendo Labo multi-game version topped the list this week as expected and a good start to this title with more than 120 thousand copies sold between the two versions, a good performance of the game of God of War in light of its unpopularity in Japan in general and achieve the best number to the series of its date, although the figure is not big.

The usual Switch games are on the list and Zelda for more than a year still on the list and still moving slowly towards the million copies sold barrier. The number seems weak to Metal Max Xeno but strong for the publisher under the sale of most shipments of the game according to reports with the game out of stores.
