Media Create Sales: Week 48, 2019 (Nov 25 - Dec 01)

sfortunato · Dec 11, 2019

Switch entering full holiday mode. Big rises all around among Switch software and they will keep giving. I do think third parties are missing a train here. Of course there are many third party games enjoying high sales but there should be more. No big third party game during holidays with Switch selling so well is not a good outlook on the industry.

RingFit stock issues are absurd. Of course new stock arriving by the end of the year and in January will help sales during Q4.

Not surprised at the lack of Yo-kai Watch 4++ in the Top 10...

Fake edit: wow, too focused on Yo-kai Watch I missed the Top 10 is Switch-only o_O

A Switch top 10.

150k by the end of the year seems realistic. It might see big sales in Weeks 50, 51 and 52.

It sold 10k in Week 48 totalling 62k units. If it goes like 15k (Week 48) -> 25k (Week 50) -> 20k (Week 51) -> 25k (Week 52) it'll be there. But it might go even higher during holidays as it might be seen as the family game to go by Switch owners.

15k in Week 48 as predicted.

Mario & Sonic will go higher next weeks though.

Thanks Famitsu for giving us the NSW top 10.

LM3 and evergreens are going to do big numbers the next few weeks.

Great performance from the Switch evergreen.
Yokai Watch...lol.

it is kinda funny how Yokai Watch 4 was used as an example how to handle a franchise from people who were disappointed with SwSh.

DarkDetective · Dec 11, 2019

Another shallow drop for Pokémon. The game has great legs.
Luigi's Mansion 3 got a 30% bump, which is good news.
Ring Fit Adventure's situation is pathetic. Only 16k sold, which is of course highly restricted by supply and not by demand.
Switch hardware sales are lower than I expected. A drop in Lite sales is disappointing. I hope sales will improve next week.
PS4 hardware saw a big increase, which is nice to see, but the system will still have a quiet holiday season.
The evergreen Switch games all have big increases. I guess that's good, but it's a shame that the No.3 is already below 20.000 units.

Youkai Watch 4++ missing the top 10 was expected. Shame for Level-5, but expected. They really need to show an exciting new IP in 2020. It's taking too long.

Switch HW is below expectations. Wonder if it'll actually go higher than last year's December.
PS4 way above though.

Xevross · Dec 11, 2019

Hmm pretty disappointing week for Switch hardware. PS4 got a nice big boost though.

ShinobiBk · Dec 11, 2019

It's crazy how much more popular the base model Switch is vs. the Lite model. Many people were convinced the Lite would be the better selling model, particularly in Japan.
Additive sales are not a bad thing though

cw_sasuke · Dec 11, 2019

Kanann said:

Its a 6 year old system - plenty of used games, digital, f2p content out there.
The people getting it this late probably arent too interested in buying 80 bucks games at launch.

I dont think thats true - regular Switch was already selling very well in Japan.....the Lite was always going to be a bonus but not a replacement, the moment we knew about it being undockable.

Tialo · Dec 11, 2019

Hmm I am quite confussed about the hardware sales. The last two weeks went great for switch, but now this weeks seems a litte bit low. There is nearly none improvement from last week sales, I would have expected a significant jump here, because week 49 is usually bigger and better than week 48. I think at the end, switch hw could just be flat or even down in comparision to last years december.

Looks like it's doing fine, it wasn't going to live up to the Smash Bros launch without any December game.
