To use an intuitive analogy, the most memorable things about this shop visit are the neon colors and sky blue. Yes. These are the main colors of the popular games on Nintendo Switch (hereinafter Nintendo) and PlayStation (hereinafter referred to as PS), respectively.
PS didn’t it just show blue sky for a while? Right. But the depth of that color has changed. If the blue of the sky of the last semester was the blue of the sky of Horizon Forbidden West, the blue of the sky this time changed to the cold blue of God of War Ragnarok.
PS camp ready to be covered with the blue of the winter sky instead of watercolor
The number one contributing to the rebound in the atmosphere of the PS camp is God of War Ragnarok, which will be released on November 9th. Furthermore, high-quality sports games like FIFA 23 and NBA 2K23 have started to be released one by one and have also drawn the hearts of existing fans to a significant impact. The store official’s point of view was that it could be because the device’s performance is good enough to implement a real player-like appearance, and it’s because it attracts the interest of series fans and sports enthusiasts alike.
The popularity of The Last of Us Part 1 has also increased. Last month it wasn’t easy to predict the box office for half doubt and half interest, but the sales volume was pretty good compared to the reviews. While it can’t compare to The Last of Us’s popularity at the time of its release, a store official explained that there were still plenty of people buying it to enjoy great graphics.

Also, I could hear that Saints Row, which is said to have unexpectedly disappointed existing fans, has been showing non-negative sales. In the case of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 2022, interest is said to be not that high. The common opinion of store officials was that “the former is still the value of the name, and the latter is probably because the price barrier to entry encountered by users is too high”.
Either way, I could clearly feel that the store has been revitalized as the number of high-interest stocks increased from last month. As shown, in the case of the PlayStation Plus Yongsan I’Park Mall, the two demo units that had stopped working started working together. I was relieved to see the demonstration group reactivated, which I had not seen in some time, or to see several titles mentioned.

Splatoon 3 dips Nintendo in ink
Unlike PS, which has confirmed the promotion of various titles, the Nintendo camp was particularly enthusiastic about Splatoon 3. By analogy, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that other titles have been sold out by the heat of Splatoon 3. In all stores dealing with Nintendo titles, you may hear the common saying: “Splatoon is the best-selling title in September”. Furthermore, it was also reported that the demand for official products with Splatoon Edition and Splatoon was high.
This interest also influenced the Chuseok special in early September. An official from the Nintendo Daewon Shop said: “In the case of Chuseok, sales of other titles are increasing along with the new releases released that month, but this time the situation was a bit unusual.” , Pokemon Legend Arceus and Nintendo Switch Sports have added up. “” Splatoon 3 is already sold out, “said an official from the playground shop at the Kukje electronics market.

If in October there is God of War Ragnarok as the most anticipated game on PS, Bayonetta 3 is ready for the Nintendo field. Considering that all the titles that have led Nintendo this year have in common the fact that they have a wide target age group, it is also true that one wonders how much influence Bayonetta 3 will have in common, judged not suitable for teenagers. This is because the limited edition “Trinity Masquerade Edition” of Bayonetta 3 is sold out since the day of booking.
On the day of the interview, also on the day of the interview, it was possible to confirm that a small amount of Trinity Masquerade Edition had remained in the Daewon Shop, which had a high number of visits from family customers. Already showing such ferocious popularity, the title that will lead Nintendo’s camp in October will be Splatoon 3 or Bayonetta 3.

I bought it for five thousand won ~ I sell it for ten thousand won ~ I’m a scammer ~
In summary, both Nintendo and PS are on a cruise in September. In particular, it is encouraging that PS has regained vitality long after the launch of Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West in February. However, the reef continues to try to tie its feet to the vitality it has found. This is due to the resale of PS5 console devices aimed at exchanging and reselling Splatoon goods aimed at rarity.
“It is shocking that the things prepared for users are being used by someone else’s business and it will hurt that users are buying more expensive than the original price, and it is shocking not to be able to reach more users.” If retailers bring people around them or even foreigners to shop, restricting purchases or refusing to sell, often in the field it is also the case that they are customers. Since this is a time when you need to be careful not to damage your purchase, it would be best to avoid buying from an unofficial supplier.
