It just seems strange because the launch of Labo VR is significantly better than Labo Vehicle. Over 10k units higher in fact.
So making it seems like this underperformed feels weird to me considering it's a much better launch than the prior entry

Strong week for NSW, 54k is well above week 15 last year (32k). PS4 is nearly the same as last year (both 12k), but the split is different (Pro was 2k last year).
EDIT: Week 15, 2018 Last year had the release of Snack World (and some Kirby legs), which really shows how much higher the baseline is now (or Labo is a system seller ;-) ). Did the Switch have any deals last week?

I don't see a price drop before fall but even if a permanent 5k drop happens in summer it won't have impact at sales for more than 3-4 weeks.
Looking at past releases sales of this remaster i guess this is a very realistic number. it will sell much better in the west though. FFVII did really well on NA's eShop.
but man, PS4 performance is really bad, i don't know how it will survive 2 years in Japan until its successor release.

PS5 isn't coming out in two years with all this info releasing from Sony and soon Microsoft.
PS5 is almost certainly releasing in November 2020. It's only a year and a half to go.
PS4 hardware reveal was February 2013, with a holiday 2013 launch and a February 2014 launch in Japan. They might have had an official interview with Cerny about PS5 hardware, but they haven't revealed the system yet, I'd suggest they are in line with a 2020 launch.
So if Switch and PS4 keep similar weekly numbers the Switch should catch/pass the PS4 in LTD sales by the end of April or 1st week of May.
What if Sony pulls another PS4 JP release stunt and delays to February 2021?
In 2 Weeks Switch will gain ~100K sales, PS4 will gain ~30K putting Switch at 8.060.000 and PS4 at 8.052.000
I think you have to exit the hype train now.
With Smash 3.0 blowout just randomly dropping like it did last night, I think we should be seeing a Mario Maker 2 Direct within the next 8 days.
They needed to get the Smash update out the way first and they did. I think with that done they'll want Mario Maker 2 fully announced with release date before financial briefing if possible

Didn't know FFX on PSV had crazy legs. 22k opening, and 300k LTD.

I believe there are weird shenanigans surrounding FF X / FF X-2 listings on GameDataLibrary. This is where its LTD was at the end of 2015, according to Media Create's Yearly Top 1000
[PSV] Final Fantasy X HD Remaster <RPG> (Square Enix) {2013.12.26} (¥3.800) - 1.922 / 60.330 (-94%) (25.443 <90,57%>)
It's probably a result of dual pack sales being tracked as sales of X too.
That's a single release of FFX. LTD includes all versions: X, X-2 and the Twin Pack.
My point is that I don't think the brand has been received well.
Nearly double the debut of the last one being just 26k is "good for Labo", but Labo wasn't doing well before.
Not sure if I'm getting my point across well

Ah yes, looks like there were some shenanigans with that game on GDL. Still, 300k is not too shabby.
Kinda boring week. Sekiro still doing well, nice.
Guys, I wouldn't even bother with that poster because that's their whole concerntrolling shtick. As soon as a 3rd party Switch port of an old game underperforms (not saying this one did) you will see them posting like a clockwork.

Revisions aren't announced in investor meetings and is unlikely Pro Edition will be out so soon.
Yeah, you are right for the first part. However, what makes you say that a revision will 'not come so soon'? Just to be clear, I wonder what effect that announcement would have on the baseline, not the model itself. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Except that technology isn't here yet for a more advanced affordable portable, Lite and Pro Switch coming out at once is a logistics nightmare.
The announcement definitely won't happen during the investor meeting...however, it's possible that the revision might be revealed shortly before the meeting itself. That's what happened with the New 2DS XL back in April 2017

I guess you also expected way more from the PS4 port 4 years ago?
01./00. [PS4] Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster <Final Fantasy X Final Fantasy X-2> <RPG> (Square Enix) {2015.05.14} (¥7.344) - 17.972 / NEW <60-80%>
Come on guys, it's the same people each week. Just ignore them...
Expected just that after pre-release lack of interest. But it's still poor.
I am fairly certain that will happen too. I can't wait for the quarterly results to see how well they held their positions this year so far.
Labo certainly didn't do Wii Fit or Brain Age numbers, but toxic? Based on that couldn't you argue that EDF or Yoshi are toxic? It may not be the runaway success some of us thought (including me!), but it could still be profitable for Nintendo.
Your words don't match your meaning.
LABO sets now not selling as well as they did with the first kit =\= Brand is now toxic. If you're saying this in the face of objectively positive performance compared to the previous kit, your point gets muddled.
Just as poor as it's PS4 performance. Perhaps SE should bite the bullet and go mobile next time.
Shocked to see switch number rise.0_0 VR help a bit guess.
While for yoshi Gw will push it even further.
Dragon Ball drop is bigger than i thought. Switch seems to still have that price barrier to allow it to hit mainstream kids price there sadly.
EDF number is underwhelming too.

May I ask what's your take on the so-called MIni rumoured revision? I can't see Nintendo going the 2DS way despite rumours pointing to that, I think a DS Lite style revision is more possible at this time. The 2DS did not even release in Japan, they basically released cause sales were poor elsewhere.
