It's good that Nintendo didn't raise the price of the game in Japan at least. Happy that more people are playing it.

Probably because the same discussion crops up after every Wii U port gets announced and the games released seem to do just fine.

Numbers look good for Donkey Kong, Switch, and other titles. Snack World's decent performance makes me hope we get the localization sooner rather than later.

I'm surprised that Monster Hunter: World didn't chart this week while Animal Crossing: New Leaf did. Wonder if a Capcom is planning on a way to garner more interest in the IP at home or if they'll just be satisfied with the [excellent] worldwide performance.

the donkey kong opening and kirby rise (well pretty much all switch evergreen rises, including snack world of all things) are insane omg.

also, told myself if labo increased by 10% or more this week its a fair sign of good legs so im happy with its bump.

those comparisons with switch and 3ds hardware + software are crazy, switch must have like double the tie ratio with more expensive games. plus as much as im personally disappointed with switch HW, the revenue (maybe profit too?) it brings is more than the 3DS so far this year

Strong software sales for Golden Week. Donkey Kong had a great debut, and all the evergreen titles are back up in the Top 20 as well.

I had thought hardware sales might be a little higher, but it's clear that the Switch market is still very healthy.

Roughly 200k. I believe the shipment was around 400k according to Media Create, so it already sold through 50% of its shipment. It should sell through the entire first shipment by this fall, in time for another batch for holidays.

I think we should also note that the factor of sales given by GEO almost perfectly matched the sales increase for TF as given by MC. That's one piece of info to keep in mind for the next time they give info on sales: we now have precedence that their example translated over almost completely to the market at large, so their indications probably carry some weight.

That's expected ( at least for me ) but still very impressive.

Will probabily reach ~650K by the end of June, and the second half of the year is gonna be even better with octoling DLC, Switch big games boosts, and holiday of course.

Should sell ~1.5 million in 2018, which would mean ~3.3 million lifetime.

It for sure still doesn't look like it worked to push hardware sales that much this week and certainly not since the beginning of the year so sorry but there are still very good reasons to complain about them. We can't even say if the hardware bump this week is due more thanks to DK, Golden Week or even Labo. WiiU ports like Switch games in general will keep selling well on their own, nothing new here.

Yeah, legs are insane. 500k are we're only 4 months into the year. Next trimester will be somewhat lower I think (but not too much I think), and then the holidays will be big. 1.5M-2M for this calendar year sounds quite plausible, which would put Splatoon 2 at 3.5M-4M, and launch it into the stratosphere of biggest sellers of all time. Wonder how far it can go, could in enter the top 3 (6M+) at the very end of its life? Lofty goal, for sure, but it'll be strongly supported for the whole generation I feel, and its sales are trucking along incredibly well.

One thing is sure: anyone still saying 5 million looks too high have to understand this is just wrong.

Now, for the +6 million part... We'll see, but is definitively possible.

HW already released on a very successful platform in Japan. That limits the potential of the game but yeah there is also a Musou fatigue in Japan.

Two things I find curious. DKTF's price is the same as it was in Wii U (5 yen less) and the same as the rest of Nintendo first party games. So I guess the original discount for the Wii U version happened only on the West. I also see that BOTW price is 1000 yen more expensive than the rest of the first parties (6980 yen vs 5980 yen, the same as Labo variety kit), do we know why?.

Donkey Kong doubled the opening of the Wii U version. At this point, with some legs, it can do 300-400k LTD, in line with Returns 3D.

Labo showing some legs as all Switch games. Switch hardware sales are driving software sales like crazy.

PS4 is not benefitting much neither from holidays nor from new stock.

I was just asking (the second time as the first time didn't produce any answer) to understand how much he thinks shortages have affected weekly sales.

Personally, I don't think PS4 would have sold way better.

Software sales are really dreadful outside MHW. All relevant games of the past few months (except MHW) bombed or underperformed.

Now 35k for two weeks (so about 25k per week more) means barely benefitting from extra stock. It sold more than during last years golden week.

Donkey Kong went from 4700 on Wii U to 4980 on Switch. Price raised even by a bit. If you add tax (5% then, 8% now) the rise is bigger.
