Ps4 last phase news came after Media Create stopped tracking we'll see next week if if the news affects ps4 sales.
Starting to get a bit of a DS vibe on the 'quiet' weeks. Somewhat offset in that the weeks with a lot of releases tend to have a lot of PS4 (and PSV) titles amongst them.
Code:
11./11. [NSW] The Snack World: TreJarers Gold <RPG> (Level 5) {2018.04.12} (¥5.980) - 3.549 / 82.504 (-18%)Should reach 100k easily, maybe it can sell half of what the 3DS version has done (which would mean about 130k) at the very end.
Oh, I *loved* the original, but felt it was painfully short; a nice proof of concept, not much else.
I'd be right behind a full title.
So Labo VC seems to be holding on pretty well with no bomba bin pricing that I know of.
Also debuted pretty high in NA with the concerns being if it would continue to have legs.
Robo kit bombed, but it seems like VC will end up being pretty successful by year's end.

Not going to do Brain Training, but rest assured that it is on a completely different level entirely compared to those games.
You might want to add the hardware sales of said weeks to get a good picture oh how they were moving units.
OP
OP
Hardly anyone cares for these "news" outside a limited message board audience.
Ummm as much as Last Phase....that is still 3 years to go lol.
Not sure, but Pac-Man has a mouth gap of 90 degrees so it would need to be a 75% from the same console to reach a "mouth" that small.
Zelda will cross 1,000,000 physical according to Media Create in two weeks. Absolutely incredible. What was the last Zelda game on a home console to do this? OOT?

Mario Kart 7- 7K(-11%)Overall slow week for both Switch and 3DS looking at the two systems launch aligned. Week 21 marks the release of Mario Tennis Open, which gave a good boost in terms of software sales for the 3DS during May 2012. As noted before Switch 2017 evergreen titles have started to drastically outpace 2011 3DS evergreens. Splatoon 2's 2018 sales finally overtook Mario Kart 7's 2012 sales at this point:

Overall by the end of August I fully expect that Switch software to have fully caught up on whatever lead 3DS was able to build during the first six months of the year.
Nonsense, it's a Pac-man alright.No Pac-man
Nintendo: 67%
Sony: 32,6%
Microsoft: 0,3%
We must get to the bottom and settle this. Clearly, Pacman is 66.66%
You can gesticulate if you want, i'm the Pac-man guard, 70%
:p

Umm
Given pacman mouth angle is 60 degrees, that means you need 5/6 or ~83 percent market share for a pacman
Worried about PS4 if this console cycle really is going to be another 3 years. It's in for a world of hurt.

Yep, a pacman needs 60 degrees for its mouth, so technically it would have to take 83.3% to be a complete pacman
Thank you very much! I thought that Nintendogs took off faster somehow.
IIRC it was one of the first titles that fully realised the DS' potential and captured the blue ocean strategy envisioned by Nintendo. Puts the Labo release a little bit in perspective for me.
Especially with the higher price of both the Switch and the game itself.
I'm really excited for the rest of the year though. This is the first time in generations that Nintendo is pursuing a core centric strategy and is building from that to a more casual audience.
And they seem to go at this really strategic too - they paced themselves pretty well over the last few month with ports, deluxe editions and new games.
If they are able to hold this release schedule for the second half of the year, it's seriously quite impressive and the first time since the NES/SNES - GBA that they are able to handle 2 systems handily for over a year.
Slow week. Expected I suppose. Just curious, what does the top 15 look like on the Japanese Switch eShop?
Always impressive Nintendo evergreens keep increasing their totals long after other titles come and go. Curious to see how their "big" June games Sushi Striker and Mario Tennis do.
Also, incoming mild PS4 software boost next week. My gut feeling says Detroit will do better than has been discussed, in part thanks to the decent marketing campaign it has had in JPN.

You know it's gooseberry season when the MC thread starts discussing what defines a Pac-Man...
smh

I'm SO happy we'll get a couple new games in the next 2 weeks!!
