And with that DQ11 doubles the previous opening week record for a third party on Switch (150k for YW4).

Thats a bad number for Ys IX. It's lower than Ys VIII launch on PSV and almost half of launch PS4+PSV.

[PSV] Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Falcom, 07/21/16) – 43,753 (New)

PSV + PS4 (the PS4 release being a year later) first week was 60k. So like, a decline if you look at it like that, but no reason to make numbers up.

Woah woah woah!!! DQXI did so well, wasn't expecting over 300k. Atelier, code vein, and ys all did about as well as we expected; pretty great for atelier and okay for the other two.

Switch HW... what goes on. I get switch OG being that high with the bundle I guess, but I'm a bit worried about the drop the lite has experienced. Regardless, 196k is a fantastic number and way better than I expected.

DQ is also the biggest Switch launch of the year to date, by quite a bit too. Pokemon will obviously beat it. Luigi's Mansion 3 has an outside shot, though I think 200k* is more likely.

*because of vouchers!

Frankly the numbers are amazing.

If it Switch hardware holds above 100k after the increase in VAT next week then I am expecting huge numbers during the Holidays.

Code Vein sold less than half of God Eater 3 FW, which itself was dissapointing sales wise
That's once again another failed experiment by Bamco in Japan, they didn't get the GE audience nor the Souls audience in the end, it really felt like it was written on the wall since the reveal but after numerous delays I thought they would be able to make the product more appealing, that doesn't seem to be the case, too bad.

Maybe its fate will be determined by sales outside Japan, but even there the outlook doesn't seem that good (?)

Yeah, but one would have expected it to sell much better on PS4 and they don't have another alternative in the near future unless NIS releases a Switch version pretty fast.
It still looks like a Vita game. There's no reason to expect to sell much better.

When Ys VIII released it was only on one platform (Vita). When Ys IX released it was only on one platform (PS4). There's no reason to expect it to sell much better by any sort of rational thought.

Second weeks drops will be brutal for many of new releases this week. Code Vein opened low and doesn't look it will have legs.

The Lite drop is pretty normal, the 3DS XL went from 187k to 82k, the Lite will keep droping before stabilizing hopefully at around 30k or something.

I can't believe some people were predicting a debut of ~125k for DQ11S. Like that would have been bomba territory and there was no way it would have debuted that low.

Ys IX to be significantly down compared to VIII

Always worth it to ignore the market leader

Really nice week both for SW and HW.
Particularly for DQXIS and Atelier Ryza, that digital ratio is something else.
