Supplies, actual titles being released.
You can't expect holidays numbers for the rest of the year.... So... the Switch hold is pretty good actually.Compared to last week. If you're going to compare to last year ps4 is actually even for the first 2 weeks.
I mean we told you it would happen.
Wow at ps4 hardware. A lot lower than last year. Switch up from last year

Did the 3ds even hit 6M in 2012? I remember it being 5.5M, correct me if I'm wrong.Switch started out 50% higher YTD, and will probably maintain that difference for a good while, if not all year. Probably higher once Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem are out by Summer, and good lord when Pokemon and DQXI hit it. We might get the first 6mil year in Japan since 2012 3DS.
Doesn't it say it sold 43k last year?Compared to last week. If you're going to compare to last year ps4 is actually even for the first 2 weeks.
The sleeper hit no one expected. It seems that game rose in sales which would be pretty amazing for Week 2.
I didn't expect holiday numbers to be kept I simply acknowledged the huge drops all round. I'm not the first or the only one to do that so I'm not sure why you singled out my post.You can't expect holidays numbers for the rest of the year.... So... the Switch hold is pretty good actually.
I knew it would happen but I hoped it wouldn't.

We are just pointing out that the Switch didn't actually have a huge drop, contextually.I didn't expect holiday numbers to be kept I simply acknowledged the huge drops all round. I'm not the first or the only one to do that so I'm not sure why you singled out my post.

The Legs of Zelda: Beast of the Wild
Supply wasn't an issue at this stage last year anymore.
Last YTD 135,491
Actually, if we use Dengeki sales as reference, it probably saw a WOW drop, sales-wise. However, it should be much smaller than most of the other games.
Still, its sales trajectory is very interesting and incredibly unusual (Media Create)
First week - outside of Top 50
Second week - 35th
Third week - 25th
Fourth week - 20th
It'll be interesting to see how long it might keep on selling
Much better but they were new games. NSMB DS and Wii are the 3rd and 10th best-selling games ever in Japan:
NDS New Super Mario Bros. - 865.024 / 6.428.457
WII New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 936.734 / 4.584.787
3DS New Super Mario Bros. 2 - 430.185 / 2.598.039
WIU New Super Mario Bros. U - 170.563 / 1.260.178

I know it won't fam.that aint lasting more than this week fam
last year's week 1 didn't have the big price cut that this week 1 had.
He means week 1 + week 2 2018 vs. 2019. It's a temporary respite, though,since MHW will put 2018 well ahead of 2019 in January and February (and probably beyond).
That won't last with the MHW bump coming for the PS4 at the end of last January. KH3 and RE2 should stem it a bit, but it will be down significantly. That is also partially from having a really good price deal/bundle end in Week 1, 2019 that wasn't there the previous year.
Ah, it wasn't? My bad then, in my head supplies were an issue 'till early 2018.
Actually it did slightly better than the Wii U version in the slowest week of the year.Good opening for NSMBUDX. Better than I expected, though I still don't think it will do much better than the Wii U version.
They were probably hoping it could hit 25m which would be a sweet milestone.
This week was probably boosted a bit by NSMBUDX, so the baseline will likely go down. I think 66k is not impossible as a weekly average, but I don't think we can say anything definitive about it just yet.Is it possible for switch to have a 1M Q4? This means a 66k/wk avg excluding week 1. I hope it manages a 60k/wk avg though.
Yep.
I think we're seeing a 2 year old hot new portable platform vs a 6 year old stationary in action here.
Not really surprising though!

Yoshi's Crafted World still launches this quarter.
