Took the words out of my mouth. Huge games usually suck the life force out of everything!
I opened this page and some sound straight from hell came out of my speakers.
It seems like a great result to me -pushed a lot of Switches, sold a ton of PokeBall+ controllers and after digital you're realistically looking at the 750-800k range sold (and at 20% odd higher price than previous games).
Will be interesting if we get any PR from Nintendo about the launch, how long does it normally take for Nintendo to put something out?

Since they didn't release anything right after the weekend, I would imagine that we will be getting a PR release after this next weekend so that they can brag about worldwide post-Black Friday numbers.
Thanks you all !
So yeah, legs will definitelt be interesting with Let's Go.
That sounds a bit excessive, no ? This week's baseline is 2k, assuming this stays the same next week, this would be a 97% drop. And if the baseline is higher then : 3k would be a 96% drop; 4k would be a 94% drop ; 5k a 93% drop
Not going to refute you, as you lived there. In other countries certainly the Fortnite audience overlaps Splatoon.
No.... the original Red/Blue/Green release is the very definition of WoM helping.
Unless the game is very broken and has really bad word of mouth, that wont happen. Number 20 this week is about 2000 units, and next week might be something similar. If Fallout 76 is out of the top 20, that would mean a 95%+ drop.
Would make sense. Or maybe waiting for some kind of milestone to be hit before they put something out (like 10 million sold / $500 million revenue etc etc)
Holy fuck that hardware bump is 2 weeks early. We could see .5mil hardware numbers in mid December, been a long time since. If this is the power of Casual Pokemon, Gen 8 is gonna be a massive flex. +10% attachment rate for Pokemon this early is amazing, and it isn't gonna drop any time soon. So much can be said about these numbers
Switch might perform similiar to 3DS second holiday.

Week 45 / Hardware: 187K Software: Animal Crossing 603K, NSMB2 23K,
Week 46 / Hardware: 168K Software: AC 290K, NSMB2 41K,
Week 47 / Hardware: 162K Software: AC 213K, NSMB2 34K, Pokemon Mystery 121K
Week 48 / Hardware: 167K Software: AC 105K, NSMB2 32K, Pokemon Mystery 48K, Layton 128K

Week 52 / Hardware: 250K Software: AC 159K, NSMB2 65K, PM 59K
Animal Crossing debuted with similar numbers to Pokemon and the boost in hardware was similar, legs will be hard to match.
Mario Party will do numbers quite similar to NSMB2 (just for the holidays)
Smash debut might surpass Pokemon Mystery, Layton, Paper Mario and Inazuma combined
And we have the evergreens that are selling better compared to the 3DS (mario kart, zelda, splatoon, odyssey) MK7 sold 8K in week 49 2012
My prediction is 160K Switch hardware next week. 230K Pokemon

Animal Crossing: New Leaf had 700k digital sales in Japan as of Week 52, 2012 because of stock issues btw.
Will be interesting to see the influence that this influx of new owner has on the Switch evergreens in a few weeks time (the effect wont be immediate; but perhaps might become more evident after a bit of time once they finish Let's Go).
That high?
I think estimated digital sales are around 500k---maybe a bit more with discounts and amiibo version. Surely not that high by the end of 2012.
You're forgetting Monster Hunter, and Animal Crossing will give it a run for its money when it comes out. FF is probably out for the count at this point.
Could someone make a pie chart so i can understand sales of Lets go compared to total Switch sales ?
Amazing numbers for Switch, really impressive. I can't wait to see when Smash releases and the sales in december.
Pokémon also did very well in my vision considering the size of the install base compared to past releases. It's going to get a strong leg in Japan.

Here you go
Doomed.
OT: A really nice Switch HW bump, I wasn't expecting more than 800k from Pokemon so I'm ok with 664k.
Thanks! I didn't remember such a high number.
Animal Crossing Switch is going to be huge.
It is interesting to note that despite LGPE initially selling much less than X/Y, it is a lot closer to it in terms of how much hardware was sold during their launch week.
Week of 10/7-10/14/2013
Considering the price difference between the Switch and 3DS (which already had a massive price drop and the 3DS XL released), that is very impressive.
Do note that the numbers for X/Y only accounted for 2 days during that week in comparison for 3 for this week. X/Y was definitely a monster in both hardware and software, but the impact from LGPF is very significant.
Edit: oops. Replaced sun/moon with X/Y.

- 3DS total - 213,570
- 200,000 Switch hardware sold during LGPE's launch.

Interesting. But I think the thing that held Let's Go back in sells was that it was 'dead' until only a few weeks before launch. That and I believe the Switch overall have higher digital sells compared to the 3DS even in Japan who largely still prefer to go physical. Also, Sun/Moon came off the heels of Pokemon Go, which is why it was such a monster when it launched.
Not hearing anything on mobile. Does it sound like a Vita screaming in agony?
Just to clarify, my numbers are for X/Y, not Sun/Moon.
Sun/Moon didn't impact the Japanese's hardware sales as much as X/Y (or LGPE), but it
but it was another story overseas. I agree that Pokémon Go contributed to that.
That's funny just today a girl at work, was very excited after buying a thing on Amazon. It turns out it was Let's Go Pikachu. I would have never imagine that seeing her. She told me she bought a Switch just for that. She is Pokemon Go maniac.
I think Nintendo is going to turn Let's Go into Minecraft. Seriously...
How are sales tracking Smash if the Smash Bundle has the digital game already dl but locked until Dec 7?
Digital games aren't tracked anyway. So they won't be tracked.
I think Famitsu does track download cards from some retailers but not for these bundles.
Bundles are always tracked iirc, regardless of if the game is a digital code or a physical copy.
