I was in this exact shop a few weeks ago. It’s an amazing store and I easily spent a couple hours there. Yodobashi Akiba is also amazing store for gamers!

[@GenkiGamer]

Oh awesome! It is a cool store! Yodobashi is very cool too!

[@ldariusd21]

Walmart does too they display games two days earlier well one day early but sometimes two

[@GenkiGamer]

Interesting!

[@nerva7]

This is such an amazing video - thank you also for speaking nicely about Xbox, most videos always say something negative. Loved your pacing of the tour and talking in detail and giving your thoughts :) you got sub from me ❤

[@GenkiGamer]

My pleasure! Thank you! Yes I see Xbox are trying hard in Japan despite it not being easy. there are putting in some efforts which is great to see! Thank you so much for the sub! XD

[@khunMooPing]

I love this kind of walk. If can do monthly, it would be awesome for all of us to see promotion and update :)

[@GenkiGamer]

Okay I will try to make more videos more often!

5:47 I paused on the top selling PS5 games at this store and I noticed something; most of those games have not charted on the Famitsu chart for months. One would imagine that the titles in this chart are fairly representative of the sort of games that are being bought for PS5 given how big this store is:
1 FF16 - (last time charted on Famitsu Aug 27 2023)
2 SF6 - (last time charted on Famitsu Aug 6 2023)
3 Hogwarts Legacy - (last time charted on Famitsu May 14 2023)
4 NBA 2k 24 - (last time charted on Famitsu Sep 10 2023)
5 Armored Core 6 - (last time charted on Famitsu Sep 24 2023)
6 Gran Turismo 7 - (last time charted on Famitsu Aug 20 2023)
7 Resident Evil 4 - (last time charted on Famitsu May 7 2023)
8 COD Modern Warfare 2 - (last time charted on Famitsu Nov 6 2022)
9 GTAV - (last time charted on Famitsu Apr 17 2022)
10 FIFA 23 - (last time charted on Famitsu Oct 9 2022)
The bar of entry to get into the Famtisu top 30 is usually around 1300-1500 units which none of these games have achieved recently and when you think about this spread out all at stores all over Japan this particular Bic Camera must not be selling very many PS5 games.
11:40 Now, let's look at the Switch chart for this store:
1 Pikmin 4 - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
2 Zelda TOTK - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
3 Mario Kart 8 DX - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
4 Splatoon 3 - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
5 Nintendo Switch Sports - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
6 Mario Party Superstars - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
7 Animal Crossing New Horizons - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
8 Zelda BOTW - (Last time charted on Famitsu chart Sep 3 2023)
9 Super Smash Brothers Ultimate - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
10 Minecraft - (Currently still in the Famitsu chart)
Quite a big contrast. This must be an issue for retailers at this point.
Thanks for the vido, Genki.

[@GenkiGamer]

Great observation there! yeah something is going on with the PS5 software sales. Switch is still a beast in Japan. Thanks Jodie!

[@p_borjinmotion]

Hi there. How much is the ps5 console (with disc) during your visit there?

[@Lego_or_Mego]

VR?

[@khayrinqistina1901]

All of the stuff on this video is so pretty good and cool! 😁👍🏻 I love seeing an otome/visual novels section besides an JRPG and etc section on the video game store! 🥹😊

[@GenkiGamer]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!!! XD

[@khayrinqistina1901]

@@GenkiGamer You welcome! 😁

[@gn0stica536]

Ugh... This store makes me sad. We used to have those kinds of stores here too but nothing like that anymore.

[@GenkiGamer]

yeah that is sad. I think they will disappear in Japan too in the future

[@sureshkumar-uy9vt]

Love ur videos, Is Ps5 out of stock all over japan now?

[@GenkiGamer]

thank you so much! PS5 had some limited in stock at some places but sold out at most places I went to

[@jaymeez]

I get a headache in the store. Too much going on and I can’t read Kangi

[@Soulasiangod]

[@GenkiGamer]
