Hardware
Era dal lontano 2014 che una console Microsoft non riusciva a superare una console Sony nelle classifiche hardware giapponesi, eppure è successo ancora.
Complici le scorte Sony assolutamente insufficienti (una situazione che durerà ancora a lungo, tra covid e guerra in corso), Xbox Series S è praticamente l’unica macchina non-Switch ad essere disponibile per i consumatori nipponici.
Il piccolo sistema Microsoft riesce a riempire gli scaffali dei distributori e le bastano poco più di 6.000 unità per sorpassare – di gran lunga – la combo PS5 + PS5 digital, ferme ad appena 2.600 unità complessive.
Switch resta la padrona assoluta, intoccabile, dall’alto delle sue 65mila unità piazzate in una settimana.
Software
Nessuna novità importante lato software: Switch Sports continua ad occupare la testa della Top 30, seguito da Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
