Media Create Will Stop Sharing Japanese Video Game Sales Data With The Public Next Month

Bad news – Media Create, the company the tracks sales data from a majority of retailers all over Japan, has announced it’s going to stop publishing their weekly sales data for public consumption.

The decision came after Media Create did a company review. Those who wish to access sales data from April 2019 may do so by paying a fee to Media Create. This means 4Gamer’s weekly sales data from Media Create will most likely cease from next month.

Not all hope is lost though – sites like Famitsu and Dengeki Online publish sales data on a regular basis. They are close to Media Create numbers, but many still consider Media Create as the most accurate in the industry.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
