Here is the week 30 update in terms of the two big consoles in Japan's path to be able to reach the commonly stated (in these sales threads) estimates for 2018 sales (2 mil for PS4, 4 mil for Switch) .

  TWS GD YTD AWN (Change)
PS4 18,645 -22,850 1,064,247 42,534 (+1039)
Switch 48,370 -66,179 1,413,731 117,557 (+3008)

TWS - This week's sales
GD - Goal differential, the difference between the average week needed from last week compared to this week's sales
YTD - Units sold in 2018 so far including this week's sales
AWN - Average weekly sales needed to reach the estimate for the console.

As expected, the MHW bundle does absolutely nothing for PS4. Why would they even bother with a bundle for a price that's more expensive than buying the two items separate? Both systems drop after the Amazon Prime Day bump is over. Pace continues the same. Obon is just around the corner which will play a big part in the Switch being able to slow down its rapidly increasing AWN.
