Media Create Sales: Week 5, 2020 (Jan 27 - Feb 02)

 

[Deleted member 2791]

Enjoy those switch HW numbers.

You aren't gonna see them again for a while.

 

[toutoune134]

Animal Crossing hype strong

 

[Lexxism]

Goddamn insane. 100k for Switch.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Damn Switch is on fire !

Too bad the stock issues will limit its potential.

 

[Andri]

Switch is just climbing despite shortages.
Which probably means a rough fall next week.

PS4 escaped 6k.
Still terrible numbers.

 

[Raijinto]

Waka-waka..?

 

[K Samedi]

Impressive hardware numbers. Animal Crossing doing its work. I think Brain Training could go higher if Ring Fit gets proper shipments every week.

 

[Lite_Agent]

Anticipation for AC + Nintendo warning about upcoming shortages for Switch = bingo.

Alas, big drops expected from next week onwards.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Nice hardware.

Meh week though.

 

[Matemático]

Maybe it's fear of shortages...

 

[daybreak]

March is only a month away ;)

EDIT: Oh, right, the shortages. Yeah.

 

[Zedark]

Looks like stock was still there for last week. Crazy numbers, up 40k compared to this week last year! Switch doing some crazy numbers here.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Also great start for Granblue Versus

 

[Nevermeltice]

Not Switch doing 100k...

 

[Norsuchamp]

Switch is doing the "calm before the storm" but in reverse. I guess next time we will se it climb up above 50 (total) will be during Animal Crossing -season.

 

[Le Dude]

Where is PS4 expected to end up? At this rate it'll be like June before it hits 9M.

 

[Piston]

March is only a month away ;)

The OG Switch is out of stock in Japan currently due to the Coronavirus.

 

[Naga]

Great week. Holy shit that Switch HW boost.

I'm pretty sure GBVS has the best traditional fighter (not smash, not arena) debut this gen in Japan.
For those confused about the 150k numbers, the HK version had english, unlike the JP one. Import players bought that version.

 

[Deleted member 11008]

OG having a better week than last year is interesting.

 

[Andri]

Switch is 105k away from where it was the week before March 20 in 2019.

They have 5 weeks till then.

 

[MasaI'm1]

Could the Switch be capturing some of that elusive Wii casual crowd? Also, damn Switch up even with Corona?

 

[Resetti]

Panic-buying & Animal Crossing hype I guess?

 

[Kouriozan]

Feel like those Switch numbers are because some people feared shortages, next week might be ugly.

 

[7threst]

Pretty impressive HW sales for Switch.

 

[sfortunato]

This is a very slow period and the absence of new Nintendo releases definitely impacts the market. Luckily, Nintendo evergreens are still going pretty strong. Pokémon and RingFit + Animal Crossing hype are selling hardware.

 

[Skittzo]

I'm assuming it was up primarily because AC preorders opened, right?

 

[Łazy]

No release, random 100k switch.
Sure.

 

[fiendcode]

Great start for Granblue but I expected a little more after all the over-100k talk. Everything else chugging along okay, only other notable new release this week was digital only (Touhou Spell Bubble on eShop).

 

[PCK]

Click to shrink...

They were delayed, weren't they?

 

[Naga]

From the previous thread, comparison debuts for GBVS:

DBFZ did 60k FW in Japan (Famitsu). Probably the best for a 2D fighter.

Otherwise, Pokken WiiU did 72k and both Arms and Gundam VS did 120k. Dissidia NT did 110k.
edit: oh yeah Jump Force did 78k.

edit 2: more first weeks for comparison:
SC6 : 22k
DOA6: 25k
DOA5LR: 20k (PS4+X1, not counting PS3)
SFV vanilla: 47k
Tekken 7: 54k
BBTAG: 20k (PS4+ Switch)
Unist: 8k
Blade Arcus EX: 10k on PS4. Rebellion: 3k on Switch (doesn't seem to have charted on PS4)
Boruto: 8k
MvCI: 10k

GGXrd was a weird case as it was crossgen. Others didn't chart or I forgot them

Click to shrink...

This is easily the best traditional fighter debut.

 

[Zedark]

So, AC preorders opening, COVID-19 related stock shortage fears, or both? To me, the former seems like a more plausible explanation, although now that I think about it, wouldn't Lite also see a boost from the AC preorders?

FluxWaveZ that's a great opening

 

[Rand a. Thor]

Come into the thread expecting 50k HW for the Switch and business as usual, and I instead find 100k in the middle of February like its nobodies fucking business, okay. This thing is a slow burner that started off super fucking strong already, I can't wait to see what a peak year is gonna look like. Cause I think the crazy is only getting started and it ain't slowing down.

Ok, that makes more sense.

Interesting to see that the win for Switch compared to last week is all in the standard model. Were there already shortages for the lite or do people really want AC on their tv?

 

[Dwebble]

Switch raging against the dying of the light.

 

[Mr Swine]

Holy hell at those Switch sales and ouch for PS4, those won't get better until FF7 and it will be a temporary boost I guess.

how long do we expect Switch to be in shortage?Until December?

 

[fiendcode]

That PS4 lead over PS3 is evaporating fast. Switch gaining on 3DS but I doubt it ever really catches up.

 

[Aleh]

Hot damn those HW numbers. Too bad about the upcoming shortages, I bet Nintendo wish they had overshipped a bit like last year when they had the chance lol

Until a couple of weeks after Chinese companies are able to resume full production, so who knows when that will be. Could be just a couple of weeks, could be months (or years).

Should we celebrate the Switch surpassing the GBA sales, when lined up?

Now to see how severe and how long the switch shortage lasts for. That plus whether we'll see a spike in sales when stock becomes more plentiful.

That PS4 lead over PS3 is evaporating fast. Switch gaining on 3DS but I doubt it ever really catches up.

By the end of the year Switch if it remains 100% flat, will have halved the gap to 3DS.
By december 2021 Switch should pass 3DS launch aligned, with less than 5m to go to beat lifetime.

Switch just casually flexing, worst time for shortages to hit.

Didn't Nintendo moved their production to Vietnam or something like that? ._.

Nah man. Switch is entering Family Mode and is lined up to have AC and a number of RPGs for this year. Where the 3DS is currently located is during its second to last 4 million year and the Switch easily has 2 if not more of those years ahead of it with 5 million perhaps in its grasp this year. Its not gonna close anytime soon, but its gonna surpass 24mil by 2022.
