Labo legs continue to falter. You can tell it's not going to have the same evergreen legs as other games. The drops have been bigger ever week compared to other Nintendo games

That cute little love story between Japan and Detroit. To think Dark Souls Remastered went out of the top 10 before Quantic Dream's game is funny.

Comparing the original sales with the recent expanded version, we're looking at a minimum of 54.37% retention between releases. Depending on how much the Vita SKU sold, we might be looking at around 70% retention between original's first week and the expanded version's.

Splatoon 2 has just surpassed 600K for 2018, increasingly it's looking like Splatoon 2 should have a very good summer. Personally I expect another Splatoon 2 Bundle - maybe with a different color and Octo Expansion. I won't be surprised to see Splatoon being close to 1M for 2018 by the end of August.
Mario Tennis Aces and Minecraft should provide a big boost to software sales next week and I think as people have mentioned we could potentially be looking at Switch's best Hardware sales since Week 1. For MTA I'm expecting a launch below Kirby - I'd personally won't be surprised to see it open with 180K sales - I think YSO underestimated MTA while overestimating Minecraft's launch. I'd be impressed if Minecraft manages >80K next week since that would represent an increase of nearly x3 compared to it's best launch in Japan. Both games have a great chance to sell 1M before the end of 2018.

Konami knows now the true home of Bomberman is on Switch!

The difference in sales is not even fairly comparable at this point.

I cannot understand how both Switch and 3DS got their sales increased. This week was weak with software, the highest was Splatoon 2 with 15k. Looks weird for me, and I cannot find any explanation.

Apparently I'm not good analyzing data, haha.

Man, Japan REALLY loves Nintendo. Splatoon 2 back on top is obvious since there was an expansion released. But Kirby is waaay too high, do we know if it has broken the 1M ww?
Surprising that Detroit is still in the top 10 lmao

brazil, unfortunately
Nice Switch bump. Next week shall be even stronger since Mario Tenis will already be released and later there are Captain Toad and Octopath that might help a little.

Expecting 55k for Switch next week.

"Splatoon: Metal Gear Solid 2" bumped everything probably.

But the stock went down 7%, how dare Nintendo sales be up.

Labo at #13, nearing 200k in Japan alone. Seems pretty good, not including the Robot one either.

NSW rising crazy with only DLC released lol. For next week, Mario tennis+Fortnite 12 punch combo can probably make it hit 70k lol.

The rest SW for Switch is doing nice too. This week it maybe all on Splatoon 2 but the next 2 to 3 weeks the other SW is going to get that extra leg effect.

Out of interest, since release, how many weeks has Splatoon 2 had at #1?

It seems to always be there or therabouts on any week that doesn't have huge releases.

Switch with the late comeback to finish up YoY in the quarter.

Yeah, easily. The question is how far up will it be? I could see it maybe even getting close to 75-100k, if next week is indeed gonna be a 60-70k week.

They needed video games to get their minds off of the disappointment.

Hey, that strategy worked for me. Hollow Knight has taken over my life so I've spent less time reading the doom and gloom here.
