A lots of mid tier releases aren't as matter as one big mega system seller.Sure,this year summer has far more releases than last year,but Splatoon 2 alone is enough,it's like comparing a bunch of jobbers to the undertaker in his prime
It's like the og nds all over again
Just looking at software sales Week 29 to Week 35 - outside of Splatoon 2 there was only one title that sold over 100K on the Switch:
Switch HW: 480.049
Switch SW:
1) Splatoon 2 - 1.056.500
2) Monster Hunter Double Cross - 111.396
3) MK8D - 84.660
4) Arms - 36.413
5) Zelda:Breath of the Wild - 33.051
Total: 1.322.020
There should be no doubt that Hardware and Software sales will be up in a major way YoY. Even without a title of the caliber of Splatoon 2 releasing, there is plenty of releases that should sell in excess of 200K including new games or evergreen titles.
