Quoting my post from the mc thread:
Good to see ERA doesn't disappoint. Keep it up guys!

That has nothing to do with the current state of consoles, even more because this don't affect switch.
Here's the best numbers on FW for nintendo releases in japan.
Should be close to or over 300k with Media Create then.
Correct, like presales.
Edit
Actually the bundles were with digital copies so I'm not sure that they would be included in these Smash numbers.

You would be correct, Media Create has the launch week of MHW at 1,245,169 units while Famitsu had it at 1,350,412.
Though it's very possible that somehow MC's numbers for Smash will surpass MHW's. Tracking's never 1:1.
Again, this is all retail only.

It's definitely not top 10, but it most certainly isn't low either
I was talking specifically about the hardware number relative to DS/PS2 holiday numbers. The software is great.
This actually compares quite well to the PS2/DS numbers in this same week.
I don't disagree, I was trying to address this part of the post:
and why this number would naturally not be comparable.
I know a bunch of people who are getting switch and smash bro pulse mario kart. Going into stores and seeing switch games and accessories low. This makes me think it might have taken the holidays.
Kind of a silly list really considering the rest of the Pokemon games were not Nintendo published.
A game console just sold more than 1 million in it's FW and is now the second biggest FW of a nintendo product and the hardware sold almost 300k on the same period. That's great. lol
Since the Smash bundle hardware was counted for week 46 this is a good sign that the game is driving even more interest than just people buying the bundle.
That hopefully indicates the coming weeks will be huge, probably at least one week bigger than this one in terms of console sales.

Not necessarily. 2020 could see more price cuts and another revision, not to mention who knows what kind of software.
I think a lot of people here also don't understand that Japanese sales are never going to rival US sales for games that are popular in both because the US is just a much, much larger market period.
I'm going to need to see the receipts on this one, and I've been in some of those threads
There was one thread where one guy said that let's go would outsell smash and most people laughed at him
Switch sold 303k in Week 51, 2017. Week 51 is typically the biggest week of the year for hardware in Japan. Should do the same or better than last year for Week 51, 2018.
This is the third best week for the system including launch.
I agree. Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Animal Crossing, Pokemon Gen 8, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. On the exclusive front alone it's gonna be great, not to mention the continuing indie train, the third party support here and there (Doom Eternal, MK11, maybe Persona 5?), and the unknown Nintendo stuff. It's just nuts.
Yeah, Japan is just the second or third biggest market between UK for consoles so it'll fall short compared to US because of difference of population and consumers. But I dare to say that in most of the cases Japan have bigger numbers than UK in many titles though, even if it's just a country against many. lol
I'm on mobile now (and about to go to sleep) so I won't be able to give you many receipts but I can give you one poster who derailed several pages of a thread:

There have been many others, in that thread too, but I don't have the time to find them all right now.
