Somewhere. I think.
Really wasn't expecting much for MUA3, heh.

Switch doing alright it seems, but drop compared to last year.

Fake edit: FE3H this week, curious about any potential HW impact for this one. If there's one, it'll be rather limited, end of month is going to have a bigger impact imo.

Professional Baseball Spirits 2019 is one of the biggest over-performers if not the biggest one of this year, it destroyed everybody's predictions.

Switch is affected by the new models announcements.
Monday was a national holiday and summer holidays started, sales should at least have being flat but they dropped.

MUA3 about as expected, PBS great performance!

SMM2 hold is very strong this week, I was expecting a slightly larger drop than 16%. Switch hardware seems to suffer from new model announcements, which shouldn't come as a surprise.

Really, really strong debut for PBS 2019.

Looks like Switch will be hindered a bit until the Lite and the improved OG come out. I don't know if Fire Emblem will help counter-act that or not next week.
Who green-lit a Vita version of a game but not a Switch one in 2019...
Honestly, the Vita version did fine for a dead console.

Strong hold for all Switch software. Even Jikkyou and Yokai didn't have bad drops.

That's a stunning debut for Pro Baseball Spirits, way beyond my wildest expectations. PS4 SKU alone did really well, but I wasn't expecting any Vita release to be clearing 10k this year, let alone 40k.

For reference, the last entry on Vita (2015) opened to 46k, every entry prior to that was sub 40k.

Yup, this entry has massive momentum behind it, both on PS4 and PSVITA (considering its terminal state). Looks like people were really longing for this franchise again.

You gotta be hungry to buy an OG Switch right now when an improved model releases so soon (August right?) with an improved hardware. I guess lots of people just don't know about it...

It's kind of crazy that at retail SMM2 is following the exact same trajectory as NSMBU Deluxe. I hope the digital split is really spectacular.

Konami, like a lot of other 3rd parties, continues to play 4D chess with the Switch instead of supporting it with the same titles like on PS4 or Vita. Sigh...

I still don't understand why Nintendo announced the Lite so early. Hardware sales might be rough in the next weeks unless this is just a pre-Fire Emblem effect and people holding off buying one this week.

They just released a Baseball game tho. It is #7 on the chart.

Summer momentum was killed indeed with the announcement.
I doubt Fire emblem will provide a substantial boost.

The refreshment of basic model at the end of August plays bigger factor than Lite at slowing hardware sales.

It will be really interesting to see how strong will be Switch next week.

Yeah, I really hope Super Mario Maker 2 will be strong in December. Do as much as New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and worst than Super Mario Maker on 3DS would be a big disappointment.

I'm genuinely surprised MUA3 charted at all. Very obvious this title would depend almost entirely on NA sales.


Also, just want to point out Vita outlasted 3DS in terms of new entries to thw charts. Pretty obvious 3DS will never see this list again with a new game. Unless I missed a new 3DS game announcement somewhere (very possible)

I think Japan is one market where Lite will be leading the pack.

Probably,but the Lite being announced doesn't necessarily reduce sales of the original Switch since they both offer extremely different value propositions. The fact that a new upgrade with absolutely no loss in value (as opposed to the Lite which doesn't have as many features) was announced for literally the same price will play a bigger role in slowing current sales.

Super Mario Maker 1 4th week:

06./01. [WIU] Super Mario Maker # <ACT> (Nintendo) {2015.09.10} (¥6.156) - 30.251 / 311.186 <80-100%> (-44%)

02./01. [NSW] Super Mario Maker 2 # <ACT> (Nintendo) {2019.06.28} (¥5.980) - 46.065 / 380.142 (-16%)


These are the weeks in which we will see SMM2 take significant gains on WiiU on a weekly basis. WiiU will rise earlier due to holidays being earlier, but unless SMM2 collapses unexpectedly, it should easily outpace the WiiU game by a significant margin imo.

Actually, you're right now that I think about it again.

Lite didn't affect the previous weeks, so probably.

You gotta be hungry to buy an OG Switch right now when an improved model releases so soon (August right?) with an improved hardware. I guess lots of people just don't know about it...

The "old" Switch is sold with some discounts (games or eShop credit) on many places, so if you don't care about a longer battery life, now is the time to buy a Switch cheaper than ever. The Lite Switch is not a good value for many anyway, it has clear disadvantages.

Yeah I am aware of it but it's once again a "kiddy" game instead of a game for a more mature audience. And I don't mind that they released Jikkyou, don't get me wrong. It just shows they have no clue what kind of audience they have with the Switch.
