Battlefront looks like meh, namely when you compare it recent successes in Japan for Western Games. How does it compare to the first?

Not sure how big SW is in Japan. I'm predicting not very. China doesn't seem to care about it either iirc.

Looks like the 3DS did 89,900 in week 46 in 2011.

And went on to sell 20+ millions in Japan, with the Switch pulling similar numbers now you can happily join the chorus of voices saying "Switch is killing it!"

Switch doing 3DS numbers would indeed be killing it in Japan.

I hope Dragon Quest and Splatoon 2 start doing better, I know the latter is wishful thinking given it has a high attach ratio but c'mon.

Also does anyone know what the sales of Switch are in Japan right now? 2.2 mil?

2.25m.

Switch would easily surprised 3DS numbers without fact that Switch isn't sold out every week from launch, Switch would probably passed 3m buy now instead 2.25m. 3DS is only around 200k ahead of Switch numbers for same time period.

Nintendo is expecting to ship 30M Switches in 2018, right? So yeah, it won’t peak in its first year.

If they count as 2 separate games we shouldn't be combining them. 

 

We should say: 

Pokemon sun sold X

Pokemon moon sold Y

 

You don't see people saying uncharted collection sold 15m because it's 3 games in 1. They count the collection as a single sku.

The double pack is the same price as buying the 2 games individually. 

 

Can you buy each Uncharted game individually and still get the same price? 

Yes actually LMAO. all sold for cheap individually on the ps4 store.



Kerotan on 22 November 2017

Drum roll please.

So I think battlefront 2 badly under performed.

Ps4 hardware is average. Had hoped it would be 30k+ by now.

Hopefully it can have an awesome December.

Complete and utter Nintendomination. Good Pokémon numbers.

3DS peaked in year 2 in Japan. And year 3 was bigger than year 1.
