need to see how pokken and arms do for their last big bump go round presumably
I'm doubtful we'll see them in Top 30. Maybe Top 50. It also depends on the amount of new releases.

Because the 1303k number was a preliminary estimate, based on a smaller sample of stores.Wait din't Famitsu reported 1,303K for Ultimate this Monday? Why numbers are different now? Did that number include digital?
Great for Switch, hope it sells +300K in Media Create.
What about the holiday 5k yen discount and 2 games campaign for the ps4?First hints for this week are that both Switch and Smash continue very strong at retail. Weekend will be again the major factor of how high they'll go.
It depends what anyone expects. With a little luck this December will be close to 2017. In 2 hours we will know.What about the holiday 5k yen discount and 2 games campaign for the ps4?
In two hours
2 hours from now ;)
Smash: 1 238 358
Switch: 6 116 566
Attach rate: 1:5 (basically, 20% of people with a Switch have Smash).
And that's not taking into account digital sales.
What is a realistic number for Smash digital sales? Are 100-150K realistic?
Nothing will beat Knack.But nothing will beat Melee, debuting with 357.101 units on 428.789 GameCube for an astonishing attach rate of 0,83.
Don't forget the Switch Mini Lite.Week 51 might set a new all-time record for the Switch. Really impressed.
I believe press releases were issued for the FC and SFC Classic -- so the lack of one for the PS1 isn't a great sign.
I mentioned this before but didn't go into detail, but last week a mobile pay app called Paypay started an offer where ANYTHING you buy through their app gets you 20% cashback, up to a generous limit. The day the deal went live there were lines outside the big box stores (Yodobashi camera etc) for consoles, TVs and other stuff that might sell out. Personally I used the deal to get the Smash Pro Controller but I'm sure it's one of the reason Switch sales were particularly high this week and would expect a similar effect on other consoles.
Oh I assumed it was all of them, thanks for the clarification. I went to Bic.I don't think Yodobashi supports PayPay. That would be Bic Camera, Sofmap, Yamada Denki, Matsuya Denki and a slew of other smaller ones.
I ended up buying the Smash bundle as a gift. Getting ¥7,900 off effectively pushed me over the edge.
Chris seems to have seen some contrary movement:I wouldn't expect too much for the evergreens, this is Smash time. Next week though.
Switch evergreens rised a lot last week and holidays hadn't started yet so there were some hints that hardware went very high.
So it begins...
Gonna be fun to watch what last year's evergreens (Splatoon 2, MK8D, BOTW and SMO) are going to do this holiday. Here's what we saw last year during weeks 50, 51, 52 and 1:

[NSW] Pokken Tournament DX <FTG> (Pokemon Co.) {2017.09.22} (¥5.980) - 12.553 / 204.038 (-8%)
Plenty of caveats, of course: SMO did huge partly because it launched only a month and a half prior. I don't think we should be expecting anywhere near these performances for those games, but maybe we can see close to 50% of this? That would still mean huge numbers for those titles!
And no, I don't know why ARMS got that major boost in week 1 of 2018.
Edit: And here's where all these titles were during week 49, the one that will get a report tomorrow:
Week 49:
Code:04./03. [NSW] Super Mario Odyssey # <ACT> (Nintendo) {2017.10.27} (¥5.980) - 95.816 / 949.470 (+56%) 05./04.

[NSW] The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild # <ADV> (Nintendo) {2017.03.03} (¥6.980) - 14.342 / 682.992 (+23%) 17./21. [NSW] Pokken Tournament DX <FTG> (Pokemon Co.) {2017.09.22} (¥5.980) - 8.362 / 139.637 (+76%) 19./20. [NSW] 1-2-Switch <ETC> (Nintendo) {2017.03.03} (¥4.980) - 7.604 / 295.470 (+60%) 21./23. [NSW] Arms <FTG> (Nintendo) {2017.06.16} (¥5.980)
I wouldn't expect too much for the evergreens, this is Smash time. Next week though.
