Lots to talk about here, but I'll mostly highlight this:

08./05. [NSW] Pikmin 3 Deluxe <ACT> (Nintendo) {2020.10.30} (¥5.980) - 36.350 / 499.156 (-34%)

Half a million target reached. True redemption story for the Pikmin franchise here.

Switch hardware sales are crazy. What a way to start the new year!

Also, wow at RingFit, no sign of stopping anytime soon. Wii Fit numbers don't seem that out of reach after all (it sold around 3.5m in Japan).

03./03. [NSW] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe <RCE> (Nintendo) {2017.04.28} (¥5.980) - 83.853 / 3.541.036 (+23%)

Beast lol

Switch numbers are incredibly, week 1 is big but typically not the biggest of the holiday season (although this year has been weird with the placement of days in week 51 and 52). Regardless, 312k Switches is a great amount!

Also SMP low-key heading for that franchise record, although it may be cut short by a sequel this year.

Team 2021>2020 off to a good start.

34k in the lead, and Chris mentioned that the week 2 drop might not be too bad. My imagined scenario (Q1 2021 > Q1 2020 until week 12 when ACNH launched) seems like a likely scenario at this point.

Microsoft had less than 500 Xbox Series in stock for the 2 biggest weeks of the year in Japan, it is truly pathetic. So much for those that beleived Phil words and expected they would try a bit harder this time.

I just thought '17k shipment for PS5 isn't too bad compared to expectations' but that was PS4 lol

Sony really do need to start shipping some more of those PS5 systems quickly.

Genuine question - are there console shortages for the PS5 in Japan?

Edit: Never mind, daft question.

Switch hardware with the curveball, as always. Though for some reason the most impressive number to me is MK8D selling 83k. That's crazy right? It sold 52k last year.

Wow at Switch, these are great sales.

NPD-December does contain Week 49+50+51+52+1.

Last year Switch did 1228k in Japan, this year Switch did 1287k in Japan during this period. So Switch is slightly YoY (+5%). If US would have the same pattern, then we can expect ~2.1 Mio. units for US December.

Team 2021 Prediction:

Last year Week 1 sold 284827 of a total of 5957000 units meaning a multiplier of 20.9144498239.

Thus my Prediction for Tbone5189 is that 2021, we will see Switch HW sales of exactly 6527839.

Anyway, great numbers for Switch.

Switch sold 1.08m units in the past four weeks.

Really good momentum going into 2021 with Monster Hunter in 2.5 months.

Yes. In fact Q1 will be down a lot from last year but I'm banking on Q2/Q4 the most
Even if they have a couple of MHR console SKUs releasing with the game?

I dunno, I always thought conventional wisdom suggested that a monster hunter launch is massive for hardware. Obviously Animal Crossing is turning conventional wisdom up on its head but I still think it MHR week will be fairly big.

Switch sold indeed around 600K in week 52 and 53 as expected (590K combined).
