    Wo Long did pretty badly. The Nioh duo from the same devs had about 90k sales their first week on just the PS4, so only 50k between two consoles is underwhelming. Though honestly, it's about what you'd expect from non-Switch launches nowadays.

    I say that, but then we have the two Switch releases. Rune Factory 4 Special sold over twice as much Week 1 on the Switch back in 2019, and Metroid Prime Remastered had a relatively subdued opening for the first Metroid since Dread. The kindest thing I can say is that it did somewhat better than the Wii ports of MP 1 & 2.

    On the bright side, Hogwarts Legacy is doing pretty well, and could overtake Horizon Forbidden West in terms of sales over the next couple of weeks.
