Media Create Sales: Week 28, 2018 (Jul 09 - Jul 15)

YSO predictions

01. [NSW] Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! < 55k (average 45k) [week 1]
02. [NSW] Octopath Traveler < 25k (average 20k) [week 2]
03. [NSW] Splatoon 2 < 25k (average 20k) [week 53]

I'm guessing back to 45k switch if we are being pessimistic

That's a pretty high prediction for Octopath, wonder what this week ends up at.

From this week on and for the rest of the year, Switch only sold less than 40K three times. (2017)

Last week had public holiday on Monday, so I don't think Switch sales will be down.

What are our expectations for Super Mario Party?
Given how a weak party game like 1-2 Switch has sold, I'm expecting pretty big numbers. I think it might surprise some.

Media Create:

Switch 53,745
PS4 14,035
New2DS LL 8,296
PS4 Pro 6,274
Vita 4,277
New3DS LL 2,844
Xbox One 709
2DS 437
Xbox One X 56

Taiko: 69k (wow)
Octopath: 22k
Capitan Todd: 20k (Switch) / 7k on 3DS
Some old faces came back (Animal Crossing, MK7)

I wouldn't exactly call it weak considering it will eventually reach 500K in sales.

Edit: nm I just realized you meant calling 1-2 Switch weak itself not the sales.

Nice hardware numbers for the Switch.

FTFY

Damn, top 12 games on nintendo consoles and top 7 on switch.

The 3DS bump is due to those new bundles, right?

Nice HW. Hope it continues over 50k as much as possible.

Hope not. I like 80% Mario with guest much more than potentially that.

I've made posts on the reasons why before not to belabor it

But yea it's possible.

I think most would prefer the likes of Kirby to pink gold peach or babies
