Can you define dying? It sold 12k last week, so it would've been a massive surprise if it sold over 16k this week. That's not how JRPG sales roll.

It's sold well in comparison to the previous titles and could still see a solid performance vs last week's sales one more charts come out.
They said December would see more shipments than any other month since launch. And that will be 100% true.

cheaper to make so maximize profits??
Tsutaya down the road had stock, including the Odyssey bundle as of late last night.
Previously, during the non-holidays, stores either sold out at the lotto or before the evening. That happened with the Odyssey bundle back in October.
I think its very likely sometime next year. It just keeps selling.
It outperformed launch week. It did well all things considered.
Sumikko Gurashi showing the usual holiday legs. It should finish closer to the first two entries. Really successful franchise on 3DS.
What's so great about the ARMS legs (sorry) is that it does seem to sell along with the system at a consistent rate, so odds are it will continue to sell. I think 400k should be more than doable, maybe 500k can be reached in the end?
I think the most surprising point out of these charts are the number of people ready to buy a terrible Kirby game.
Is the Switch sold out everywhere again? Some anecdotes from a day or two ago made mention of stock sitting on shelves still.
let him be,this isn't the first time he started something like this,first the capcom bowing thing,then the megaman thing,then the popcorn thing and then there is this
Man, I really hoped for them being able to ship more. Honestly, Switch manage to in terms of HW availability has been a shame all year but reached the peak this holiday season
There clearly are money left on the table here
On the other hand... Software is INCREDIBLE, no other words to describe it

Their master plan is to release it later in 2018 to get a 2018 holiday boost. Genius.
Switch buyers are partial to games based on Shonen Jump properties?
It'll do quite well but the other holiday bumps are way bigger. Like ARMS getting in top 10 again.
Yeah products that exists sold better then products that didn't exist, who would have predicted it.
If only there were more substantial third party software people can buy...
Oh, no doubt about that it's doing decent numbers outside top 20.
It's just I was hoping it to get as big a bump as other Nintendo titles.
Yes, because 3rd parties, especially in Japan, brought zero compelling software to the table. Honestly Xenoverse 2 is a minor miracle
This can't be a serious post.
There hasn't been a relevant third party release on Switch in months.
Interesting, thanks. I wonder if those units are lasting for more than just a day or so. This is a pretty low-demand period in time, right?
It was sold out for the tracked period, yeah. Only now (as of this current week) are we hearing about some units lasting the day.
Third party also hardly exist, so this is quite a disingenuous way of putting it. And the ones that are there put in quite decent numbers (except in UK, which Benji already said saw performances quite a bit worse than other markets).
I havent been payibg attention too muh to that kirby game ,whats so terrible about it?
Yeah. ARMS had legs during the year but it was selling much less than other evergreen titles such as Zelda and Kart. Nevertheless, it increased up to 25k in Week 51. The game will surely reach 350-380k which for a new fighting game IP is a pretty crazy result.
Basically, I was expecting it to have better legs thanks to being portable and Switch's first high profile RPG.
You guys need to stop with the Kirby hate.
Complaining about it being on the charts when 1-2 Switch is still selling rather well....lol.
and what do you expected em to do?? supply shipping takes weeks if not months of pre planning cause they ship by sea. on release they shipped by air to supply early demand and lost over 50$ per unit. Supplies are likely planned by month
its not as simple as
The funny thing is that mildly good third parties software does sell, as XenoVerse 2 showed.
I mean, if it shows an increase this week, that would be pretty incredible for a RPG to have an increase in its 4th week. We should find out later in famitsu
yeah despite dat third party support.. oh wait... i am sure mario x rabbids will do reasonably well though
how is it in comparison to something like tekken 7?
Portable JRPGs dont show better legs. The genre is the genre. I still find the end result disappointing but the things you mention dont accelerate sales much.
I was going to reply but beaten quickly to it lol
This is weird how this still have to be explained, even more in sales threads.
The only major Nintendo 1st party release that doesn't benefit from holidays bump. So its legs are the normal JRPG legs which means that it didn't stand a chance against the massive seller that is Xenoverse 2.
