The Sony Playstation 5 was the only console with increased sales compared to the previous week. The market is responding to the new market leader and all previous consoles are now in the shadow.

Interesting detail: the Switch Lite is currently down YoY, so Nintendo's revenue must be up sensibly overall.

Guess more PS5 stock is finally coming down the pipeline. They seem to sell whatever they have, at least.

You're prediction were spot on entire holiday season

These were my predictions with Famitsu's results:

Week 48 (23 Nov - 29 Nov) - 150k (Famitsu: 145.178 (-4,8k))
Week 49 (30 Nov - 6 Dec) - 180k (Famitsu: 204.622 (+24,6k))
Week 50 (7 Dec - 13 Dec) - 230k (Famitsu: 229.698 (-0,3k))
Week 51 (14 Dec - 20 Dec) - 300k (Famitsu: 263.304 (-36,7k))
Week 52 (21 Dec - 27 Dec) - 320k (Famitsu: 278.173 (-41,8k))
Week 53 / 1 (28 Dec - 3 Jan) - 280k (Famitsu: 312.121 (+32,1k))

Total: 1.460.000 (Famitsu: 1.433.096) (-27k)

Not bad indeed. The problem was that the peak wasn't Christmas but New Year, so the order went different, but overall, it was close.

Then, my prediction for Famitsu week 2 (MC week 1) was 50% drop for hardware and software.

www.resetera.com

Media Create Sales: Week 53, 2020 (Dec 28 - Jan 03) Sales

I think next week 50% drops for both hardware and software is a safe prediction.

This was also accurate.

Now, my prediction for #Team2020 will also be okay.
Year 2021 started strong indeed, but everything is still as planned. Not worried at all.

In previous years, January and February would see the release of 3rd party AAA games that are not on the Switch, but not this year.
And with MHR coming out in March, the Switch will be even more dominant in Japan.

Nah, 20mil is too soon. It's 1950k away so after Pokémon snap. Maybe Mid May/Early June for 20mil.

25mil by Q2/Q3 2022
Yeah probably too soon, though could be up Q1 CY thanks to Mario and special editions.
What did they sell last Q1? I really wouldn't be shocked if this year matches that, even considering ACNH.

My optimistic guess for 20M is early May.
It was just shy of 2M for Q1 last year, it would need to be up ~35% by the end of the quarter, and it's only around 20% right now, but if I remember right, there were some pretty bad weeks leading up to Animal Crossing.

By the end of the year, if it's at 6M+, it should be able to hit ~23.5M, meaning the 5th anniversary 25M should be in reach. It will likely not hit 20M by the end of March though, which is why I also offered snap's release at the end of april.

Woah!! Nice hold for Switch! Better than I expected.

Momotetsu is still king, it's performing like the evergreens.

I'm most curious to how Switch numbers will be up to week 12-13. That's when AC was released, MHR will be out by then right?

That Switch drop is baaaaaaaad. Meanwhile PS5 didn't drop and is still beating its only next gen competition by 100x.
Somewhere in Japan, Nagoshi and Harada have these exact same lines planned for their PowerPoint presentations.

Ah 2M for Q1 is actually higher than I thought.

In that case I could see it hit 20M in mid-late April. The main advantage Switch has this Q1 over last year is much more adequate supply. Last year around this time they were dealing with COVID shutting down manufacturing.

We can at least see eye to eye with my new comparison of NSW year 5 beating 3ds year5+6 combined. NSW is in good position with being 227k left to catch up.

My chances of 2021 winning is still very low but I believe!!!

PS5 vs PS4
2021-01-14-9-44-03.jpg
Similar week on week growth with a much smaller baseline. I wonder if constraining them so much will hurt in the long run vs. just doing a delayed launch like PS4.

What's our forecast for Snap? It did 94k FW/495k LTD on N64 at a vastly different time.
Gonna go with a 150k opening to 400k LTD for now. Similar to PMD DX.




Oh yeah, maybe I guess.


It's a wild card. It can be a normal spin off with 300k-400k sales, or it could be in a similar situation to that of Luigi mansion as a franchise.

Not sure if anyone else feels the same though

New Pokemon Snap might be the game all the AC players get.
If it turns out really good it could sell 800k+ in Japan lifetime.

I could also see FF7R coming to the Switch in April when Sony's exclusive deal ends. UE4 and midgar is more linear so I could see it being reasonable on the system, but expect more bad texture pop ins.

The frog joke posts have not aged terribly well considering he posts on the other place now...

I went to check and of course he dropped the mask there and stopped pretending being just an enthusiast Sony fan, as expected he was just your typical console warrior in disguise trying to bring toxicity in these threads, good riddance

I think this one is much bigger project than the remake of Mysterious Dungeon or something that came in march.
Yeah, that I agree with. I just interpreted your surprise with this launching in April as "This might just as well have been a holiday game", which probably is not what you meant to convey at all.

Pokémon snap is gonna be the new Luigi mansion 2. Mark my words
You can't keep getting away with this.

brazil, unfortunately
I think Switch 2021 will stay ahead of Switch 2020 until the AC release date. What happens next is hard to say because although there won't be a single game as popular in 2021, there will be a lot of titles that can together make the switch sell more.

I believe it will be 2020 > 2021 > 2019 > 2018 > 2017 because AC gathers to a very different market and the big 2021 games are more traditional in gameplay and target.

Can "Team2021 lives one more week" be this year's meme?

New Pokemon Snap might be the game all the AC players get.

I questioned some friends like 30 minutes ago about this, I really wonder if AC fans find Snap appealing, I'm the one Switch owner who doesn't have AC so I can't really know myself. If their goal is chilling and having a good time I think going on a Safari fits the bill, assuming they aren't aware it's a points-based Rail Shooter, that is.
