MC will reach 100k at the second or third week anyway.
Tennis is doing very well considering the drop in popularity of Mario sport games.

also, if you guys allow me to brag, I was ranked #1 several times on Mario Golf 3DS online worldwide tournaments.....
yeah diehard to the point that I had to force myself to stop, I was missing out on a ton of games but a Mario Golf game for switch would be... uhh no words. just gaming heaven.
Why oof all around? Aces numbers are good, Minecraft is by far the biggest opening it had in japan (just not what Yso prediction was), and Gundam numbers are not exactly surprising (?)
aside, did Mario golf invent the 2 part hitting system we see in that game and other golf games like golf story?
or is it from something else originally?
Yeah Mario Tennis was going to be big no matter what. Hopefully Nintendo will put as much budget in a revival of Mario Golf.
How does that ranking work? Is it that everyone at -16 gets #1, or is there a further metric to subdivide them further?
Switch has been on an Uptick.
That, combined with the full effect of Fortnite dropping(heh), as well as the Octopath Expansion(which was quite a surprise i imagine) and MTA and Minecraft releasing in the same week.
Plus, we are entering the Summer Season, and thus exiting the weakest sales window for Japan.
That mid-teir title, Mario Tennis, has a history of good numbers and decent legs
That mid tier title often sold multiple times more than many famed AA title from third party lol.
And Minecraft it indeed hit 100k FW. Will become Switch best selling 3rd party by the end of the year lol.
How is the Switch stock situation in Japan these days by the way? Are there any stock issues anymore?

While MTA is solid, it still underperformed in comparison to the 3DS game iirc. Not that I was expecting it to do well (my prediction was like 98k) - just that I feel being on the switch, and with its production value, meant an opportunity to do so much better than it did. There also hasn't been a big switch game in a while, so I was hoping this would gain a boost because of that.Why oof all around?

I see. Thanks :)Occasionally a store will be sold out. For example AEON Mall in my town was sold out this week but Best Denki had stock. But no problem at all to get a Switch if you want one.
Don't build your expectations too much, many people here have this tendency to expect the moon the moment a positive rumor comes out, and so usually (though not always) end up being disappointed by the actual numbers.

Based on YSO estimates of not only MTA but also Minecraft opening of over 100k, some people expected/hoped for a larger Switch boost. According to current reports, Minecraft launch is "only" (still the best ever) 60k and MTA launch is "only" 120k (still quite good), so realistically I would say that anything between 50k and 60k would be within my expectations.
50k I would consider ok, 55k good, 60k nice, and above that really nice. :-)
I think it could easily be on the 60K, I mean last week was nothing "big" comming out and it still was 48K, for the past month sales been increasing, from 31K to 33K to 36K to 40K and last week 48K.Don't build your expectations too much, many people here have this tendency to expect the moon the moment a positive rumor comes out, and so usually (though not always) end up being disappointed by the actual numbers.

It did have that promotional offer too.On mario tennis aces, I can't help but wonder how much was sold digitally. In Europe and and NA they had the double coin promotional offer for preordering the game, but I can't tell if they had this offer in Japan, due to not being able to speak japanese. Unfortunately these dont get reported.
Will MTA be included in Nintendos Earnings report for Q1 ?
It launches at the very end of that period right ?
When is the financial report made public?It will.
Approximately one week of sales will be counted in the financial report.
yes, but like release week only. hopping to see it breach into the Million seller clubWill MTA be included in Nintendos Earnings report for Q1 ?

Usualy a month after the recorded period ends, so in about 4.5 weeks.

1-2 Swtich at 2.3M gives me hopes Mario Party is an sleeping Giant for October

And besides, Camelot made the original Everybody's Golf before they made Mario Golf.
Yup. It'll be big regardless. The question is how big. Can it do 10M+? That would mean Wii level sales, so that's a very lofty goal indeed. Still, 7M would make it very big, too, and definitely the third biggest game of this year (although maybe MK8D and BOTW will sell more this year?).I dont see how it will be a sleeping giant. Its just a plain giant. Mario Party 8 sold over 7 million units on the Wii. Mario Party 10 sold over 2 million units on the wii u.
Super Mario Party will be the Switch's third best selling game this year.
With "the moon" I wasn't referring specifically to this time, and anyway I meant more the way people talk than the numbers. Case in point we have someone who read what was written in this thread (the person I responded to) ask "Why are people assuming a big jump for Switch this week?" and then "All right then, I'm ready for some juicy Switch numbers." when the expected numbers, while good, are not "a big jump" nor "juicy numbers".Who is expecting the moon here though ?
From the predictions people made in the last few pages, most people fall between 50 and 60k, with only 3 people predicting more(once 65k once 68k and one outlier of 75k).

But what are "juicy numbers" then anyway ?
If it sells 60k, that would be almost 3 times as much as what it did last year in week 25, with the MTA opening at 120k being as big as Arms two first weeks combined, and MC at 60k being higher than all the other switch titles that charted last year combined that week.
If that are not juicy numbers then what is ?
Only DS like numbers ? In which case there will never be a Juicy week number again in Japan.
That happened last week!
PS4 drop was worse than I expected, didn't expect it to drop down all the way to 20k. Switch bump basically non-existent, which is a bit of a shame. Good debut for Minecraft and MTA, Gundam Breaker sold awfully as expected. All in all not a very nice week, then.
Did we know Fifa 18 Switch sold over 100k on Media Create already?
