Media Create Sales: Week 52, 2018 (Dec 24 - Dec 30)

 

[Lite_Agent]

Good start for the Switch in 2019. Strong Software and Hardware. Now to see which games actually have legs starting next week...

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Switch hardware numbers *up*? I thought the expectation for Week 1 was a drop?

 

[mclem]

What was the last time we had only two systems represented in the top 20?

 

[Ravager777]

Is it common that hardware sales increase from week 52 to week 1?

Click to shrink...

who's expectation was that? w1 will be higher than w52 usually

 

[Kanann]

Starting new year with a bang bang bang!

No. Week 1 always has a big increase due to New Year's.

Week 51 > Week 1 > Week 52 is the norm.

PS4 actually breaking the 100k barrier, very impressive.

Congrats for reaching 7m !

Good numbers as a whole.

Switch software is great.

Ah! My mistake - I had the typical order wrong.

Smash keeps on trucking. Incredible.

Also hey, Dragon Ball back in the top 20.

 

[Mr Swine]

Wow that is awesome for both Switch and PS4! Look at all those Switch games going up!

Is it common that hardware sales increase from week 52 to week 1?

Yes.

Last week of holidays.

 

[Platy]

...go vacation?
Awesome!
Lots of questions, but awesome

 

[NintendoMariah]

Wow. Good healthy numbers for all

 

[Nocturnal]

Smash performance is ridiculous I mean I predicted 2.33M for 2018 but didn't expect it would be doing >250K in 2019... dat December release
Also M-C Week 52 numbers are worse than Dengeki/Famitsu.

 

[TangorFopper]

No games for "pure portable" console in the chart.
End of an ERA. ;)

not as strong as xenoverse last year but not too shaby
how did the ps4/xbone version fare in japan?

 

[SuperYlvis]

Absolutely massive software sales for the Switch.

 

[Deleted member 2791]

Pretty good week for everyone. Great start for Switch's 2019.

 

[Pablo Mesa]

we end up Q3 and YoY up finally

Counting the new Q and new year

 

[MysticGon]

Man that was just a good New Years all around.

 

[Piston]

Great software sales from everything besides Pokemon (not to start a shit storm, just furthering what we have been talking about, smaller boost than just about everything else.).

PS4 had a really impressive week hardware wise. That bundle put in work. I wonder if KHIII and RE2 will keep it afloat in January at all or if the end of the bundle is going to cripple it.

Yup, and with that, the Switch version will always be ahead of the PS4 version.

Smash is an absolute juggernaut, holy shit. What are the chances of this being Switch's #1 best seller once its all over?

About 118k on Famitsu, according to gamedatalibrary

 

[Zelretch]

at the end of its second year Switch will have or close to have: three 1m sellers (Zelda, Mario Party and Pokemon), two 2m sellers (Mario Kart and Odyssey) and two 3m sellers (Smash and Splatoon2) what a beast is Nintendo's software. And next year AC and Gen8....

If this was released a few week earlier it would have been approaching 100k units sales now.

Sony has stronger Week 1 sales typically. It is also the end of a promotion that was running the PS4 w/ 2 free games and a discount (?).

So... Atelier Nelke bombed that hard?

low. as beastly as SSBU is, Mario Kart is even more monstrous. i can see MK8D outlegging SSBU in the long run. MK8D already outlegged SMO in japan.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Switch version of DQB2 outselling the PS4 version? Very interesting.

 

[mclem]

The race to 8MM is on.

Click to shrink...

I'd be surprised if it's that much of a race simply because PS4 has a pair of huge tentpole releases at the end of this month; I'd expect that to spike enough to keep the PS4 comfortably ahead.

If they was releasing in, say, late March, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out significantly closer.

Depends on its legs. 4 million seems quite likely at this stage,but if the legs hold then I could see 5M+, at which point it is a strong contender for biggest Switch game in Japan.

 

[KillerMan91]

Fourth highest week for PS4 in its life. Third if you exclude launch.

1. 309.154 (launch)
2. 140.145 (MHW launch)
3. 118.350 (FFXV launch)
4. 117.182
5. 109.287 (second week after MHW)
6. 100.238 (week 51 of 2016)

 

[Piston]

Dragon Quest Builders 2 should get to 500-600k combined, not an awful drop overall from the first game.

Yup. This follows the trend of frontloaded PS4 sales vs. longer leg Switch sales.
