• It's fairly simple: Don't be a dumbass.

    Of course, people disagree on what that means, so we're going to clear up a few basics around here:

    - Respect others time and person. We don't care what walk of life you're from or any personal choices you make in that life. We merely ask you act kindly and respectfully towards each other.
    - We will not discuss personal religion or politics. This seems to always lead to a fight.
    - No self advertising, without express permission from the admins.
    - Keep topics on topic.

    In the end, there are probably more specific rules that need to be written, but in general don't be a dumbass pretty much encompasses everything that needs to be said.

I'm surprised that nintendo switch sports is still hanging on , I thought it was panned by everyone that it was an awful game.
 
What surprises me the most is that Jamboree's long tail hold, has it back above Dragon Quest so quickly. While it's not a new DQ game, DQ is so huge in Japan. Obviously it came out the gates quickly, but Jamboree may be a better long haul seller.

Obviously Hardware sales are what they are.
 
According to these numbers, if 1 person only earned 1 switch in Japan, that would mean over 1/3 of Japan’s population own a switch at this point.

Wild.

There's a lot to be say with this week report so I want to give my thought

First Brothership seems to have very good word of mouth as it been staying in the top 10 since the holiday seasons.

Second Nintendo switch sport physical sales in japan alone has outsold astrobot world wide sales both physical and digital, so much for having a "short pathetic life" told by some person I will not named here.

Third it seems like either the ps5 stock has run out in japan or people has simply stop buying it with the price increased that 50,000 two weeks ago was just the holiday boost.
 
Its official, the top 30 is out and Nintendo dominate completely the Japanese chart with 30/30 games on the Switch
