I think it is safe to say Splatoon 2 will carry Switch for the rest of the year.
Monster Hunter sales are expected. When Monster Hunter Portable 5 get released it should be much bigger.

Also it is nice that we know the Switch stock this week. Now if only we knew its true demand...

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Wow, Monster Hunter XX is way lower than I thought it'd be. I was expecting at least 200k, but it didn't even manage to get half of that.

I wonder how much Switch will sell next week. I expect the numbers to go down, but still above 50k.

Splatoon 2 is Switch's first million seller at retail. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should also get there before this year ends. Super Mario Odyssey should manage as well.

Going ny Amazon japan, sadly I doubt it. Probably more in line with 30k

Switch good (but need to be more stable) 3DS just over PS4 (reverse from last week).

Splatoon is a solid IP now in Japan!

Monster Hunter need to re-invent itself!

Monster Hunter World(s) comeing to PS4 at some point.

20k,60k,90k,20k,65k.
Why the supply is that difficult to meet in some weeks?

I'd say it is time for everyone to start boycotting Apple.  I've already done that my entire life.

Also, seems that MH players didn't get into switch.
Nintendo needs more effort to transitioning 3ds owners to switch. Maybe switch is too big? They are used to 2 screen?

Or maybe everyone already bought the game (twice) on 3DS, and there is no new content whatsoever in this lazy port?
