Damn, losing Dengeki now too, Media Create set a bad precedent but we still had access to a wider range of data thanks to Famitsu top 30 and Dengeki top 50
Now it's only Famitsu top 30 so low profile evergreens and release will dissapear from the radar

From this week for example Jikkyou PowerPro Switch showed up at 29

29./52. [NSW] 実況パワフルプロ野球 KONAMI 19/06/27 1,759 237,316

Super Mario Odyssey Kirby Star Allies have been hanging on between 30-50 for a while now

33./29. [NSW] スーパーマリオ オデッセイ 任天堂 17/10/27 1,465 1,921,267
47./33. [NSW] 星のカービィ スターアライズ 任天堂 18/03/16 1,141 823,927

Others lower profile evergreens include current cheapest GTA V SKU Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town, Disney Tsum Tsum

35./34. [PS4] グランド・セフト・オートV:プレミアム・エディション テイクツー・インタラクティブ・ジャパン 19/11/07 1,369 28,811
45./ 39. [NSW] 牧場物語 再会のミネラルタウン マーベラス 19/10/17 1,153 137,617
48./38. [NSW] ディズニー ツムツム フェスティバル バンダイナムコエンターテインメント 19/10/10 1,117 160,419

This is the extent of info we're entirely losing, not mentionning the added value of having different trackers for numbers in order to double check odd values, shipment info and very low profile releases (like Kiniro Loverich or Revenge of Justice this week).

And let's not forget that Dengeki regularly shared really useful data not publicly shared by MC or Famitsu, like FY data (not just Full Year, but monthly updates, etc.), special period (GW, holiday season, etc.). Well, MC did have some additional tidbits, but even them didn't share as much as Dengeki.

Convenient coincident that these things happen when Playstation is down in popularity, similar to how it happened in USA during PS3s weak performance phase. It also coincides with policies such as combining PSP and PSV sales and similar spins. Will be interesting to see if we will even see PS5s weekly sales performance.

They'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, as of a few months ago, Chris and maybe some others thought topping 2 million copies sold was basically in the bag for Mario Maker 2 and Ring Fit wasn't gonna come close to outselling it. I don't think Ring Fit will top 2 million copies, but I also think there's no chance Mario Maker 2 does either without aggressive bundling. Still, can't underestimate Nintendo and Mario.
Hey Jon, it´s my fault. I meant, of course, the physical numbers..just because you cannot get RFA by downloading it without the Ring and the strap. Sorry for that, should have mentioned, that i mean the pure physical sales.

Dengeki will likely stop being a seperate tracker and merge with Famitsu, they don't hide numbers only from public.

So after two weeks of insane numbers from Switch, is there any switch hardware available in Japan? I think China should be up and running again?

Nintendo doesn't have only Japanese market to cover, Switch is sold out everywhere. It will take some weeks until stock problems become less serious.

ACNH could be looking at 40% to 50% digital copies right now, especially because of Covid, that means it is already way over 4 Million sales right now, it's 3rd week is already sounding promising with an estimate from Chris1964 being >300K, being at 5 Million+ before the holiday is where I'd expect it, the holiday should push it well over 6 Million, and from there, it has 2 or 3 years of trailing sales, where it will go through a couple more holidays, Switch has only sold about half the 3DS's hardware numbers so far, but is going to break 20 Million easily before all is said and done. Those new 8 to 10 Million users over the next 3 years are all people who potentially will buy ACNH, I'd say it's a toss up at this point if ACNH becomes the best selling game in Japan ever, a lot of that comes down to price drops and demographic, but if it does something crazy and end the calendar year at 6.5 Million in Japan (with digital), I do think that 50/50 toss up, becomes 60/40 at the very least.

I mean it remains to be seen but I think there is a reason why even on insanely successful DS sales of highest selling games never went past 7 million (only one past 6 million) as that seems to be very hard barrier to cross. Even more so with current demographics of Japan. Obviously when we actually get real digital data from Nintendos financials we will see better picture.

Oh true, other markets have now entered the major phase of shortages. Hopefully Nintendo will be able to keep the system with enough stock in Japan as well, with a bigger restock once Golden Week approaches. Now this is a weird way to bring GW back to its former glory!

...Can Nintendo ship 100,000 units per week until then?

PS3's EoL was May 30th 2017, Cross gen only really lasted through 2015, sales were very slow for PS3 during 2016 and 2017, I think EoL for PS4 in late 2023 to early 2024 is pretty reasonable.

PS4 is dropping faster than the PS3 tho and you're saying it will outlast it ? Yes PS4 sold better overall but PS3/360 had a pretty late peak and good legs while the PS3 was actually flopping at the beginning.

If Sony hits their shipment target during this past quarter they shipped 13.5 million PS4s during last FY. That is almost the same as peak PS3 FY shipment (14.3 million in FY2010). I mean it's falling harder because it was selling much more.

The PS4 is overabundant everywhere and has been dropping like a rock in NA if NPD data is to be believed. Same in Japan where the system is selling 60% less yoy.

I just don't see the PS4 having a significantly higher than 8 million units in FY20-21

PS4 sales are harder always to estimate because how much it sells in markets where we get next to no data. I guess it depends on how PS5 launches (and with what price). And does Sony do anything with PS4 price (signs point to not doing much though). But yeah maybe it dies faster. I guess next years forecast will be telling (as they have been pretty realistic outside of this past FY).

It's definitely going to hit the 100,000 milestone at retail, and I wouldn't be surprised if, by the end of the year, retail + digital is close, if not over 200k. I remember Imagineer highlighting how high digital sales were for the game back in early 2019.

PS4 was flopping at the start too. And the ps3 was cheaper at this point so it's no wonder it was having a better final year.
