Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware 17 November 2018

Damn...The two Pokemon produced a boost twice higher than Odysee did at the end of October 2017.
Sales of 28th oct 2017 are 310.000.
Then to compare what is coming, it is Xenoblade Chronicle 2 VS Smash Bros Ultimate............

This was Fallout and Battlefield week for PS4.

Even though it's not true pokemon, I was expecting more. I guess many Pokemon fans have already bought NSW. NSW adoption was much faster than 3DS back then, so I guess Pokemon now and in the future will not help NSW as much as it helped 3DS.

The Switch numbers seem a bit fishy because Japan had the biggest increase despite being the worst region for Pokemon Let's Go.

 

Week ending Nov 10

N. America-93k

Europe-67k

Japan-54k

 

Week ending Nov 17

N. America-234k (up 150%)

Europe-129k (up 92%)

Japan-194k (up 260%)

So when VGC adjusts, how much more would the Switch adjust up by?

I think Japan and N. America will stay the same. Europe and other regions are where I expect adjustments. Enough to get the Switch up over 700k.



In France too people are mad about Pokemon. Not only in Japan.



Huge bump for Switch, I pity the Xbox though, I think we may see a new one in a year or so. PS4 doing pretty good, but it'll probably fall short of its 2017 holidays by a decent margin, which is probably to be expected after quite a few years on the market.



Switch is selling pretty well considering this is only a Pokemon spin-off game. I've never seen a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon have an effect like this.



First of all congrats to Switch ! PS4 did very good as well, king in Europe, and close to Switch in NA, even considering the big deals for PS4 next week in NA, which was holding PS4 to win even this week in America, in the Pokemon week.

In my view, when it comes to PS4, a permanent price cut should be right around the corner. The fact that it's still selling at these levels at $300 & $350 respectively is great. But, if they maintain that price in 2019, I think we're going to see sales drop considerably. The Slim and Pro models are over 2 years old at this point, the 1 TB for the Slim is over a year and half at that price point. They should go down to $249 & $349, permanently no later than Q1 2019.

Remember that Smash bundle released the same week as Pokemon in Japan whereas outside of Japan it released 2 week earlier.

Hard to say, maybe ~100k so in the 700-750k range.
