Great Switch numbers and a good start to 2020. Will be interesting to see how it does this year considering right now the software line up isn't anything like previous years, but plenty of time for that to change.

Looks like switch lite has finally been taking sales away from the regular switch the last few weeks when it wasn't like that before

Wait.. what? Switch is heavily up over last week. Is this normal?

Great start! And lots of evergreens sustaining holiday's momentum

That is normal, but for this year it was not expected because of how dates were arranged (which resulted in week 52 being stronger than normal). 270k in week 1 is a massive amount, make no mistake.

We should always have Dengeki in the OP. They are a smaller tracker and less reliable but nothing wrong with that. I like that they give Software numbers per system and the top 50. Their data adds to the conversation. It's also more relevant and concrete information for the thread than the Taiwan Top 5.

Switch Top 20 is insane. PS4 has some strong third-party games coming up, but I imagine not much can change at this point.

As someone who hasn't been paying attention to Japanese sales #s, it's fascinating how decoupled this is from the rest of the world. Thanks for the data.

What is the ceiling for Minecraft? I assume 2 million is a lock but where does it go from that.

On Wednesday, we get week 1 + week 2 numbers combined. Sometime later we will get separate numbers, I believe.

I can't wait for the mess to be finally over lol. New Year's holidays are always a mess for us sales enthusiasts.

Wow very impressive software and hardware numbers for switch! Not too shabby for PS4 but I thought it had dropped price or did Sony only have that during Xmas?

also very glad that baseball game on switch has almost sold as much as the baseball game on PS4

Damn Mario and Sonic will probably end up close to 400k or even beyond that. Who's laughing now?

and Brain Training has a shot at 200k with that awful release and botched Lite support.

Great numbers for Switch and Luigi.

Dengeki was tracking Switch higher than Media Create and Famitsu last year, hardware bump at other trackers will be bigger.

Thanks Chris1964!!

We usually use Famitsu numbers, right? How different these numbers were in the previous year to Famitsu besides the difference in the way they separate software SKUs?

Week 1 wouldn't be lower than 52, increase was expected. The size of increase was unknown.

If Nintendo doesn't release a sequel to Super Mario Party this year it has a shot for 2m in Japan.

Normally we get Famitsu on Wednesdays, but they're combining week 1+2 this year so Dengeki is the first week 1 data we got, hence why it makes up the OP. IIRC Dengeki data is usually posted in the thread, but by then the thread is four days old.

Hey Chris I was looking at Dengeki's numbers for Week 51, which bottoms out at circa 2.300 copies for #50 and could not find any entries for either the PS4 or Switch (standard and Limited Ed.) for M2's ShotTriggers series title Esp ra.de PSI

Have I missed something? That would make it a disastrous launch compared to the others, especially considering it's the first one to ever get a Switch release (and simultaneous too) and it's a title with Cave's pedigree which was never ported to consoles before.

Switch exploded and since there weren't any "real" price drop promotions it could carry the momentum until Animal Crossing. Not be as high of course but the baseline could be higher than I thought.

I know. And what? Top 30 Famitsu and Media Create Top 10 are also added later on. Media Create doesn't even give numbers anymore. Also Dengeki Top 50 is not always beeing posted.

Kirby is close to a million by now with digital. That game is still selling well. So many hit games from Nintendo on Switch. Its like everything they touch turns into gold.
