Famitsu has Wii Fit reaching 1M next week. The 260k figure disregards 2 weeks of sales compared to Wii Fit @1M. Does Zhuge have access to actual sales or is he using last week's Famitsu's numbers and comparing them to next week's Wii Fit numbers?

Famitsu's numbers are publicly available, so I am pretty sure that ZhugeEX doesn't have any better numbers than we can look up. You are correct that he made a mistake, he compared RFA through five weeks vs. Wii Fit through seven weeks. The actual values through six weeks are 290k for RFA and 910k for Wii Fit.

And as another post noted, Wii Fit was released on December 1st, so it had enjoyed a boost from holiday sales whereas RFA's mid-October launch means no holiday boost for its sales yet.

In any case, it's premature to write off a game like RFA after less than two months when it has already demonstrated good holds in weekly sales. Games that sell beyond the typical console gamer have different sales patterns and curves.

Thought so. Amateur mistake. Seems like he's ignoring the numbers to fit a narrative. Typical communist.

With adequate supply and releasing closer to the holidays RFA would be at 450k compared to Wii Fit at 1m and 45% of Wii Fit's sales is 10m.

Amazon reviews and Ebay are useful for judging non-traditional games. Witcher 3 on Switch has 120+ used copies sold v ~20 of RFA (~15 if you exclude those without the ring). Impressive given the only marketing has been a Youtube video. It's like Nintendo is purposely hindering it so they can measure the strength of word of mouth. Very clever.
