That seems increasingly like a low mark to cross. With all that comes, 11.5, or maybe even 12M don't seem impossible anymore right now.

We'll see. Going off memory, Switch was at 6.8m at the end of 2018, so it needs 4.2m in 2019 to reach 11m. That would already be a good result.

It can be higher than that, if (almost) all important things really happen this year. 12m is a very lofty goal though.

12M certainly is lofty, but like I said, just doesn't seem impossible anymore. I believe more in 11.5M, though.

Last year, Switch managed to sell 3.5M in Japan, but 2019 is already almost 300k ahead in sales compared to the same week last year, and with all the releases incoming starting June, I'm certain that gap will only grow faster starting summer.

Fingers crossed that Switch hits 11m LTD by the end of 2019.

I thought that was low-balling it to the max before I realized that the year isn't 2018... Some days I get confused for a minute.

Drop for the Switch but just last year was the 3rd weakest number of 2018 with 34,165.

I think baring rare situation where all the rumors are wrong, and games are delayed, that is most likely going to happen at this stage.

A very slow week. PS4, 3DS, and Vita have crashed, while the Switch can't make up for all 3.

Big drop from Switch but it may overtake the PS4 next week!

Quick reminder: Golden week starts on the 29th and Japan will have a 10 day holiday peroid. So there will be no numbers from Famitsu next wednesday and the week after that will probably also be delayed.

So, will we possibly get 3 weeks at once after goldenweek?

Super Robot Wars just barely crawling past 100k. Pretty interesting development with that series. They've been localizing the games in English for Asia, and now they sell more in Asia than they do in Japan (which has happened for Yakuza as well). At least the series will continue on.
