Yep.  This week's sales are actually the median: 68,666.  Switch is doing great.

Off topic, but where is the actual Media Create/Famitsu thread this week?

Not sure, I made one there now just to have. Better late than never I guess.

Thanks! :)



69k, now Switch on week 10 has about as much as it did last year week 16, just before the Goldenweek.



If it's up by 17k+ next week, then it's up 1/4 of a million in 10 weeks. Impressive!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I have to wait until next year to be sure, but I’m getting more and more confident that the switch will outsell the 3ds.

3DS averaged just under 5 million in year 1-3 then dropped to just over 3 million in year 4 then averaged just under 2 million in year 5-7.

Switch averaged just under 3.5 million in year 1 & 2 so it needs to be up alot in year 3 and avoid the harsh decline that 3DS had in year 4 & 5.

 

I think both of these things are likely, it's already showing strong growth this year and the lineup is stacked from June onward so the YoY trend should continue. On top of that they still havent released a revision or had any price cuts. 3DS had both of those things in year 1 & 2 which is what caused it to be more front loaded so Switch getting those things in year 3 or 4 should prevent it from having as hard of a decline.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Just posted the latest numbers, now 2019 is over 258k up YoY from last year.

Over 250k in 10 weeks. That's pretty good. Now if we extrapolate that over 52 weeks then it should be up around 1.3-1.4m YOY. However obviously it's not an exact science but i would expect it to be in that ballpark.

Yep, I don’t predict any sharp decline for switch like the 3ds experienced 



Already a 5 weeks lead !
