The Switch version will only have exclusive content if it's not being localised.

My god, this is just not in line with reality. Square Enix is never shy of selling international version that has the added content,THEN coming back to sell the domestic audience another SKU with that added content. See http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/International_Version for a list of their crimes. It happened to KH and it happened to FF, it can happen to DQ as well.

The possible outcomes is as follows

1) SE decides that Switch version will hit International markets at the same time as PS4. Considering we have heard rumors about voice acting and orchestrated music being added, we can assume that both versions that hit the international market with that. I cannot see MIDI music and beep-beep voices as cutting it for the International audience, who unlike the Japanese have no nostalgia for that. Furthermore, SE would be highly interested in converting more of the West to DQ, their recent efforts in the West have been more serious than they ever been since the DQ8 push in the west.

For the PS4 fans of DQ in JP, SE can either do it as a paid DLC on the PS4, or just release another PS4 SKU and call it "International Version". The additions will probably be more significant than that though (added PCs, events etc.). NSW version being the UE4 version and the noise coming out of them talking about porting challenges supports this.

2) SE decides that Switch version will be late everywhere. If that is the case, expect the Switch version to have ALOT more added content to entice buyers to double dip and to make the late SKU a better deal. If they took this path, (which is risky and dumb) I am not surprised if they decided to throw in the mode change capabilities of the 3DS version to give us a DQ11 that can play in 3 modes. This is highly likely as it is risky and dumb, and they want to hit their entire western fanbase at once with a marquee release to ensure there is no holdouts for a later version.

I have a hard time believing Pokémon Switch will break the pattern. Not even Pokémon Go was capable of doing that (event though some say it may be the cause).

It is pretty simple. Japan has less and less kids (demographic collapse) to support kid franchises from the old days of DS/Gameboy, and Yokai Watch stole some of its thunder as a premier kid franchise even in its diminished state when Sukiyaki was released. Pokemon Go was a legit phenomena, but Japan already has saturation for Pokemon among the rapidly vanishing kid demograph.

The other major demograph for Pokemon Go in Japan (from what I observe) is old (retirement optional) folk who like the walking and collecting aspect. You know, the types who never brought a Gameboy even when Pokemon R/B went on to sell 7 million in Japan, and will not buy a 3DS for Sun/Moon.

Now, that Switch is selling better and attracting older (but not OLD) core players and having buzz amongst the kids, a higher production value Pokemon NSW can appeal to both lapsed core players (who nevertheless will have nostalgia for Pokemon). It will also be out in time when NSW will have its first price drop, making the device to be more palatable to parents.

Japan: Nintendo Switch Forced Bundle Causes Outrage
Popular independent Japanese game retailer Games Maya has hit a raw nerve with its latest Nintendo Switch package deal.

According to a Twitter user who recently visited the retailer, they found a "huge amount" of Nintendo Switch Super Mario Odyssey Sets available on sale. They soon realized in order to purchase a set, they have to purchase an extra Nintendo Switch game of their choice.

Gamesmaya is just a girl trying to earn her keep and keep eating! She did nothing wrong! :P

I wonder if she will post anything on her blog on this.

That she is even confident enough to try seems to indicate she expect people to buy anyway. Don't see her do this for other stuff before?

I'm not expecting much graphically or ground breaking from the Next pokemon.

I think it'll be the one after that's more impressive imo.

Nintendo gives them freedom?I don't really trust that

Considering the quality of the Camelot games....

The Sega/Nintendo publishing part are conjectures since he praised how Nintendo and Sega give freedom unlike any other publishers.

Oh crap, I can read Japanese but I didnt't see

International versions only made sense in a pre-DLC world. what was the last one they even did?. the clear path for them is a DLC pack for people who already bought the game, and a budget-rerelease. full price isnt gonna cut it since buying a used copy and DLC will probably be significantly cheaper by then.

as for MIDI, people cant tell that from orchestration to save their lives. if we get orchestration, it's gonna be because they worked out some deal with Sugiyama. DQ8 was because Sugi got his money with the CDs, where they based the western version on. at worse, we might end up with a DQ8 3DS situation.

Thats why I said "Or DLC". Then again, it never stopped Capcom from pulling this with G versions, or Pokemon with its 3rd version. If the content addition is significant enough, they might throw out a separate SKU. DQ is big enough to get away with that.

Almost everyone I know in the west commented on the MIDI tracks the moment they saw the trailers (DQ fan or not). While orchestrated music is no sure thing due to how...TEMPER(&)MENTAL Sugiyama is, maybe they appeased him by sending an offering to Yasukuni or something...

DQ11's music is low quality anyway. DQ8 3DS on the other hand is perfectly fine. Obviously MIDI to those who can tell, but at least the samples are good enough. Besides, I had games like Mario Galaxy in my mind when I typed that, who's majority MIDI and is praised endlessly.

And I can't imagine DQ11 having significantly more content to warrant a new prerelease at full price. Not in 2018 alongside the Switch version.

with the switch hype and the userbase being 3x to when mk8d was released, i feel odyssey will sell at least 500k fw

either way it'll be the second million seller on the switch and i expect that to happen before the holiday even starts

it'll be an evergreen title and eventually outsell every previous 3d mario game including the 3d-land/world games in japan and WW

I expect around 400k for Odyssey but leading into Holidays, it will obviously have better legs and and should be a million seller.

Splatoon 2 shipped + digital over 1.56 mil in Japan - right where I expected it to be at this stage(very close to Splatoon's LTD's numbers. I think that for Q4 Splatoon 2 has every chance of being over 3 mil shipped + digital.
Revising the forecast means that they'd sell a minimum of 16.7 million by March. This in turn means that my initial expectations are going to be very close to being realized. I don't think it's very unrealistic to see Switch sell over 4 million in Japan, Splatoon 2 to reach 3 million shipped + digital by the end of the year. So overall my annual prediction might be a bit too optimistic in terms of other sw but Splatoon 2 and Switch sales are going to be very close to where I pegged them back in February.

nintendo expects 3ds to remain basically stable next year (statistical noise drop basically)

looks like they'll keep it on life support until they move everyone over to the switch

i expect this to happen naturally as switch drops in price and more franchises move over from the 3ds, nintendo wont force anything just as they have shown with their moves ever since switch was released

smart move, they have no need to rush anything as switch and 3ds are both selling on their own merits, why force anything when they can have their cake and eat it too?

Well there were no takers, but it would have been foolish to take me on.
i expect them to revise it again, shipping another 7m~ for the next 6 months is basically equivalent to their first 6 months, with the likelihood of increased production, another revision is all but guaranteed imo

3DS will be a cheap console for kids that want to play Pokémon, Yo-kai and Mario games. There will be bundles and ads on the full line-up to make the platform attractive. There will still be a few releases after all.
yep, price and content is really the 3ds' saving grace and in this area there is really no competition

only when the switch gets there will it start to eat into 3ds sales

everything nintendo has released for switch so far hasn't really replaced the 3ds' lineup, save for mario kart, it's smart of them to release odyssey before any 2d mario, it sets the game as the flagship mario game for switch, boosting 3d mario popularity while avoiding from eating into 2d mario sales on 3ds

and we know 2d mario will still sell gangbusters on switch when it is released, i fully expect them to rewrite the game for the switch also, rather than following the "new" mario series' formula, even if they stick to the more realistic artstyle of odyssey, i expect them to kick it up a notch with vibrantly colorful art, maybe something similar to smw x yoshis island

simply releasing super mario maker as the next 2d mario just wont cut it imo

It doesn't take into account the bundles tho ;)
it wont? well there goes my 500k minimum prediction, 400k max sounds more realistic

End of September Splatoon 2 numbers in Japan:

Media Create Sales: 9/25/17 – 10/1/17
[NSW] Splatoon 2 (Nintendo, 07/21/17) – 1,190,563

So for Splatoon 2 to be at 1.56M in Japan what type of digital numbers would make sense.
100K shipped to retailers but now sold would still leave 270K unaccounted for. Which works out at roughly 80% physical 20% digital.
I don't know how realistic it would be for retailers to have more than 100K stocked but not sold to end customers considering that the game is constantly selling since release and had already sold out it's initial shipment. They could have made a larger shipment but I don't know how often you'd have >100K shipments months after a release. In any case as I thought Famitsu digital estimates were underestimating Splatoon 2's digital numbers by between 5-10%.
If Splatoon 2 sold 200K digitally it's attach rate on the Switch in Japan is 77% for the period ending in September.

I'm curious to see whether Nintendo will release a proper 2D Mario game on Switch or something else. After a >6 hiatus, maybe it might be a good time to bring the NSMB franchise back. I think it would be a better idea to follow the same formula (2D gameplay) under a new name, either a new sub-franchise (e.g., Mario Classic) or a New Super Mario World. We must keep in mind Nintendo has also Super Mario Maker that has proven to be a smash hit after all and will likely land on Switch sooner or later.

According to Famitsu, Splatoon 2 has a 80-100% sell-through. As of September, according to Famitsu digital estimates, Splatoon 2 sold 124,792 on eShop. Sales should be around 1.325m. Perhaps report sales refer to new shipment to retailers in light of the holiday season.

There's usually a dissonance between shipments (+digital) and sales we see in this thread. I remember looking at the GT data and its usually 200k+ than whats reported by media create/famitsu.

I think he/she was asking for the 1st week YSO prediction, not the user prediction.
Yeah, i was thinking of YSO predictions indeed, but thanks for the reply anyway :) Makes it easier to find people's prediction for Switch and SMO.

Arms hit 300k so topping 400k LTD looks almost certain.

Zelda is at 800k with 2 quarters of Wii U version missing, it mush be close to 850k total by the end of September. 1m until December is still possible but Nintendo must date 2nd DLC pack some time and start marketing it.

Unsurprisingly no 3DS game hit 1m again and next quarter is the last chance if someone is close.

Here's a breakdown of the shipment numbers Nintendo have reported for Zelda in Japan so far:

Mar 2017 - 390k (Switch) + 120k (Wii U)
Q1 + Q2 2017 - 290,000

That gives us a total shipment number of 800,000 copies shipped (including digital sales).

Not quite the same as comparing strictly retail M-C data, of course, but still an incredible result.

Update: Made some numerical edits after some discussion with Chris.
