With some exceptions, sales of western AAA titles on PS4 have taken a hit from the moment Japanese output increased after first 1-2 years.
Two weeks for the Switch Lite release. Can't believe it's so close!
I predict something around 125k for the first week

Hoping we see something massive like 200K+ the week of the lite release. It's basically the start of the switches massive run for the rest of the year that should continue with animal crossing next year. Should make shake things up a bit in this thread.
That's just the Lite. The normal switch will sell around 30k so the total can be around 155 to 175k.
That's a little better. If the shipment is really 150-200k it should sell that out though. We should see something north of 200k FW.
BTW, after the sales normalize and the holiday season ends, I think we'll see a 60/40 split between Lite and normal version.
Probably less than 15k. But sales are better than what retail indicates since the vouchers are making digital split more important than it usually is.
It also sold through 85% of its initial shipment in Japan, so I imagine there's a lot of difficulty finding it physically too.
I think not jumping to the ios/google store front and staying dmm exclusive is one big problem
Pretty sure I read that one year of Kancolle revenue for DMM was 7 billion yen/70 million USD. The issue is that we're not sure how big of the piece of pie DMM has since Kancolle has quite a lot of different companies on it's production committee each sharing the whale money.
In Spain, shipments of the Lite were increased by 2.5x-3x after very strong pre-order numbers. So it seems that Nintendo is capable of ramping up the initial Lite shipment. I imagine they will also ramp up from that 100k-150k to 200k, so that release week sales will be 200k+ (200k Lite, 20k new Switch is my guess).
Switch sales of these past weeks (after Lite announcement) have showed that the two hardware will target different audiences. I expect Switch to baseline above 30k, around 40k and the Lite to add 40k on average depending on how much mainstream will become. There's a chance Lite breaks through and can sell 60k+ weekly.
Chris1964, do you have some data about Moon Remix RPG Adventure sales, which port was announced for Switch during the Direct?
Speaking of which, Mojipittan Encore was also announced (a kind of Scrabble puzzle game). The last game was released on DS and sold 364.198 units. This new entry will release in 2020.

Shame, I heard Monster Hunter Switch was close to done too and now they are probably going to cancel it :(
They'll bring it back if we all buy DMC2 and Resident Evil 6.
Shh no fact, only shitposts.
Actually the last retail Mojipittan was on Wii and sold only 19,016 but it was an enhanced rerelease of the previous WiiWare version. Following that there were also some digital only releases on DSiWare, iOS and Android. Is the Switch version getting a packaged release?
Mojipittan series sales (Famitsu, via GameDataLibrary)
Interestingly enough, the original PS2 and GBA versions (they were released on the same day) didn't get too many customers interested in the franchise (which started on arcade), but it was the budget re-release of the PS2 game, back in 2004, to make it a bigger deal, with the PSP game sort-of-benefitting from it (over 100k sold), and then, as already mentioned, the DS version exploded. No doubt thanks to the DS magic and its audience welcoming puzzle games with open arms.
Indeed, the Wii version was the packaged version (with some additional content) of the Wiiware game, which was supported with additional content. Seemingly, the Switch version is based on the packaged Wii version, but with way more stages from what I read (over 800), between brand and new, as well as new words and updated dictionary. Also, it is getting a retail release.
Personally, I think the chances of bringing the Mojipittan franchise back to the DS heights is almost impossible but...back to the PSP heights if not higher is not completely unreasonable...? It depends on how much the franchise is still remembered and on how well the Switch Lite will obtain to attract the kind of audience who has yet to buy the Switch and is interested in this kind of games.
Speaking of Moon, we also know it sold 65,371 copies in its first two weeks on the market; no info on its actual first week sales, since Famitsu reported sales for Week 42 (when Moon was released) and Week 43 combined. Also, since this is a sales thread after all, the game is already 8th in the eShop paid rankings with pre-purchases (the game releases on October 10th). Being the first re-release with used copies going for high prices helps here :P

Thanks!
I feel the Switch version might have a chance to sell well---of course not DS-well, though. We have seen may puzzle games selling well at retail too like Snipperclips and Puyo Puyo but also Tetris 99 is having some legs (and was available on eShop too). I feel Mojipittan is more family-friendly and that might help too.
This will benefit a lot from a Switch port especially in Western markets.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Do we have worldwide numbers for Xenoblade X?

Digital sales did some work with XCX and it's difficult to have a narrow range. It must be somewhere between 600 and 800k.
That's about what I expected. Although I'm kinda yet impressed that it sold well digitally. It's one of the largest Wii U games in terms of data. Thanks for your input!
Atlus will at least have P5S, SMT, and EO6 with the potential for other SMT related stuff following. Capcom is trying to sell us DMC2.
Vanillaware hasn't released a game on a Nintendo platform in over a decade. We'll see what happens with them after 13 Sentinels flops.
I still laugh at Joker being included as first dlc character and getting premium exposure on most popular fighting game and Nintendo getting nothing in return, they couldn't even get granted in the deal a dirty PS3 port of Persona 5. To be fair, when I see things like this that apparently don't make any sense, I put the blame on Nintendo and their inability to get deals with Japanese third party companies. Perhaps the simple explanation is that Sony is doing things much better behind curtains, approaching companies, better relationships with higher-ups and so on. That's something to take into account too and to acknowledge.
Capcom is not only selling DMC2, but charging 20 bucks for it...
Man, they really destroyed my good will on them.

P5S is a side project and basically Omega Force is behind it. The other 2 are bigger projects but could likely slip into 2021.
Maybe comparison with Capcom wasn't the best but they are down from 3DS. That they convinced Nintendo to port such a low seller shows how anemic their support is so far.
They got P5 Scramble, though!
... yeah, definitely the short end of the deal.
Is EO6 an unveiled project already? Or is it an (realistic) expectation?
I think certain devs are just too entrenched with/feel indebted to Sony for Nintendo to do anything about it. Nobody else is getting mainline Persona games and that has been a point of discussion for years.
Atlus was too busy releasing 3DS games in 2018. They also released a lot less ports this gen for whatever reason in addition to their new releases taking forever to release.
