Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers sold through 75% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers came out in Japan last week where it sold about 160,000 copies. Media Create has the Switch version at 46,415 units and another 115,995 for the PS4 version. According to Dengeki, the game sold through 75 percent of its initial shipment.
Persona 5 Scramble didn’t sell as many copies as Persona 5 Royal – a redone version of Atlus’ RPG – which initially moved 210,000 units. However, given the sell-through rate, it’s off to a strong start.
We’ll also mention that Katana Kami: Way of the Samurai Story sold through 75 percent of its initial shipment as well. Between Switch and PS4, it moved almost 20,000 copies – though the Switch version did a bit worse at 7,392 units.

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva MegaMix sold through 85% of its initial shipment in Japan, seeing stock shortages
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva MegaMix debuted in Japan last week where it sold over 50,000 units. Given the stock situation surrounding the game, that’s a pretty impressive number.
Dengeki reports that Hatsune Miku: Project Diva MegaMix sold through 85 percent of its initial shipment. This information should tell you that it has done very well at retail – even better than SEGA had anticipated.
In fact, in an official blog post, SEGA apologized for stock shortages. More shipments are planned, though it’ll be awhile before they reach stores and fans are advised to consider reserving a copy. For those looking to play immediately, the digital version can be accessed from the eShop.

New sales data is in from the UK for the month of January 2020.
As far as physical software sales go, Nintendo was the biggest publisher of the month. The company’s sales saw a 21 percent share of the market. Switch accounted for 16.3 percent of tracked game sales for the month, though that’s not included Nintendo’s first-party games from digital. When only looking at physical sales, Switch titles were at 31 percent.
Even though there were shortages of Nintendo hardware, Switch was the most successful family of consoles regarding both revenue and units. Switch Lite was the most successful individual console SKU over the course of the month.
Here’s a look at the best-selling games of January:
