Sales are a total bummer for the week between March 29 to April 4 with all hardware on a decline. The Xbox Series’ machines have suffered the worst setback of the lot, falling as sharp as 71.76% and 95.63% respectively for Series X and Series S. It has so far sold 8,610 units in 2021 (for both editions). Sales may continue to project slow growth for at least the next two weeks, but we may witness better movement the last week of April as Japan welcomes its longest holiday period, the Golden Week, which is set to begin April the 29th.
It is thanks to the amazing folks over at Famitsu that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Famitsu right here.
