Guess Tsutaya didn't get much stock for Ring Fit Adventure.
Surprised that sales would Brain Training would be described "strong", but guess it's really legs that will make or break this one. Hopefully there's synergy between it and RFA. At least, the target audience is more likely to own the console thanks to RFA, making it easier for Brain Training to sell.

Pikmin is a big seller in Japan. The numbers it did on GC and WiiU are remarkable.
Pikmin 4 could be huge.
Pikmin 4 could be huge.
I just checked the software numbers for the WiiU on GDL and to say that they are depressing is an euphemism. Donkey Kong Country's drop was awful.
Yeah. When you think about it, all the mainline Pikmin games saw their first releases on unsuccessful systems. Also, Pikmin 3 Deluxe would be a slightly different scenario than the Wii Play ports of the first two, due to the potential new content.
By the way, this is how much the Wii ports of Pikmin 1 and 2 did in Japan (Famitsu)

I never really buy that argument that a series only sells bad because it released on the wrong systems.
Most of the time it seems more like fans of the series looking for excuses, because they cant admit the games dont have all that much of an appeal.
Plenty of franchises managed to sell well on the "not well selling devices", so it seems eh to me for certain franchises its somehow the fault of the device.

Pikmin 1 and 2 almost die 500k on GC, and 250k on WiiU. So it already is selling well. Being on Switch could make it sell even better, but this isn't the scenario of Bayo 2 by any stretch (as an example). The Pikmin franchise is already successful (WiiU did hurt it, as it did with basically all games).
Systems that sell less that 5m are definitely limiting software sales.
Since userbase doesn't grow uniformally, some games are hurt more than others, especially the more mainstream ones (see the gap between MP10 and SMP to have an idea).
Do numbers for Week 52 arrive today? I thought that Famitsu will give us combined data for Week 52 + Week 1 on wednesday, isn`t it?
Forgot Pikmin 3 sold that much on Wii U. Looking forward to Pikmin 4, whenever Miyamoto is done with whatever he's doing atm.

Sword / Shield will end with 9 weeks at 1st place, Diamond / Pearl had the previous record with 8 (after Sony entered the market, during Nintendo monopoly Super Mario World was 1st for 19 weeks).
Same for weeks 52 and 1. First take a system / company will take all top 10 spots after 1993. Top 15 is also very possible and might even come close to top 20 since PS4 software sales were really anemic.

Iceborne should see the biggest bumps for PS4 software and I don't see it breaking 10k. It could be an entire Top 20 for NSW.
I think so too. Just not sure what yet... and it could be something Nintendo thinks is great but is terrible in implementation.
Is that what the whole Systemsoft Beta announcement is about?
Yes, they bought and apparently renamed them. Maybe we'll see NISA do some Daisenryaku now?
It's surprising to me they could afford that given the recent murmurs of trouble. Guess they were doing better than we thought.
Same with Falcom... They must have some great accountants because HD game development aint cheap.
it's why their games haven't really extended beyond PS3 fidelity
Odyssey 2 had been one of my more confident bets/expectations in 2020. with botw slipping into 2021
but now with 3D world I'm pretty curious how the lineup will round out in terms of big releases. Maybe botw 2 will actually sneak into 2020 or a third pokemon game.
Sinnoh remake will be the big game of the holiday. Zelda is 100% a 2021/2022 title, also i don't see a new 3D Mario this year.
Like you said at the end of your post, it's more because PS4 software is doing so bad rather than Nintendo miraculously making so much better games than 5-10 years ago.
I don't think so.
The mainline Pokémon games tend to take a year off every few years. We're overdue by a year. 2020 should be the year off.
Combination of both. Evergreens are killing it on Switch so without big new release you get a full top 10/15/20.
Jan. 30, 2020 Nine Months Earnings Release.. pending on your timezone I guess but that's when it releases in Japan =)
I very highly doubt most of that.
But we'll see, who knows ?
THE big game of 2020 being a pokemon remake would be saddest thing for Nintendo. I don't see that happening.
Zelda 2022
No way. No way!
I would be surprised if it's not going to launch this year with the new revised switch
I think it's more likely that Zelda is the big holiday 2020 title and Xenoblade Definitive Edition is the title that launches with the new Switch model in the Summer.
something bigger will launch
who's knows could be splatoon 3
Lmfao (don't at me) lol
I think Monster Hunter is a good candidate. Don't know about the rest of the posters here but I expect one to be released in 2020 exclusively for Switch.
I honestly don't think there is coming a monster hunter for Switch. Capcom doesn't want to spend money developing games for Switch other than ports and low budget games.
they are probably on their way in developing the next monster hunter for current and next gen consoles
Well if you followed MH discussions closely enough you would know there is one person that talks all the time like a Capcom MH insider, that has insisted for a very long time (and from what I remember still insists) there is a MH coming for the Switch (and he is not a Nintendo fan, nor even a MH one...). And he always implied (even back in 2017) that it will come around something like 2020 and not much earlier.
Is he right? Who knows. All I am saying is that given that, I wouldn't be confident in either direction. My personal take is that this year is the make or break year for this possibility,
