This better be the case. Losing Media Create hurt enough. Losing all trackers would be devastating.Hopefully not ;_;
IMHO this is due to redundancy after last October's merger + Dengeki on its own becoming less relevant.

2nd year in a row that sales are down. Cheaper Lite model impacting Hardware revenue.
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).
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.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.
Dengeki will likely stop being a seperate tracker and merge with Famitsu, they don't hide numbers only from public.
Not happening.
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.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?
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.

And we are talking about OG Switch and the Lite, right?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.
Dengeki to stop providing public sales numbers from April.

Last week for Dengeki data. Press F to correct typos, and to pour one to ZSaberLink for providing the Top 50 every week.
Nothing is set in stone until weekend.And we are talking about OG Switch and the Lite, right?
And what does out of stock mean..like a sub 50k hardware week coning? Or even less? Thx in advance:)
At that time New Leaf was considered a monster. First 3 weeks of New Horizons will exceed first 3 quarters of New Leaf.

Had that thought a while back. Seems pointless to have two trackers after the merger.Hopefully not ;_;
IMHO this is due to redundancy after last October's merger + Dengeki on its own becoming less relevant.
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.
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.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 (13.9 million in FY2011). It's falling harder but from higher.
New shipments for Animal Crossing bundle were supposed to arrive in Japan 2 days ago.
So, new shipment for Animal Crossing is tomorrow 1st April and AC bundle set lotteries for this weekend.

I just don't see the PS4 having a significantly higher than 8 million units in FY20-21
Fitness Boxing has sold 25k at retail at first three months of the year.
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.PS4 is dropping faster than the PS3 tho and you're saying it will outlast it ?

Context baby!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.
