This is gonna be one of the most important months for the Switch in its 1st year. No big releases, price still very high, supply and demand may still be riding launch hype. If it can maintain a +40k baseline until Arms or at least June, Nintendo should be very confident on what they have.

Price of Switch is not very high.

At Amazon is almost 10,000 yen more expensive than Nintendo's MSRP of 29,980 yen. I assume Amazon isn't the only retailer doing that.

With shortages come price raises.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

My bad, I thought you meant on official Switch price. I dont think much Switch consoles are sold with that higher price, it seems that Nintendo is shipping around 50k per week in Japan.

At the end of 2014, MC had it at 59.9k. MC Database didn't show anything for 2015, but I don't think it's been updated since top 1000 released.

ltd 2015 74k



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Wow, Golden Week was kind of a bore. Switch fell a bit more than I expected but if it can continue to sell more than 40k for the rest of May and June then that'll be pretty intriguing.

So Switch is back to it's baseline of 45-50k, wich pretty much comfirms that it's still selling out every shipment it gets. demand is crazy for this thing. I hope they can carry the momentum over to ARMS and ultimately Splatoon 2. That is one killer baseline to maintain though.

Yeah, that explains everything.

45-50k is not a killer baseline.

But we're not in 2008 anymore.

The 3DS had a baseline of 60-80k once it got going. An actual killer baseline should at the very least match that range. That's not going to happen with Switch's current supply issues, but once that is sorted out, the baseline better be above 45-50k.

I guess I have a bad memory. I don't remember the 3DS selling over 50k consistently since I joined the site.

When do you think the Switch should "get going"? I think either when Spla2n releases or Monster Hunter.

Kinda underwhelming Golden Week if I'm honest.

3DS is behind the PS4 even including all its iterations?

whatever else.

Ps4 outsold 3DS last year for golden week so is it really that big a surprise?
