Great for Kirby.
Was the Splatoon bundle this week? Because the bump was pretty small.

It seems that Splatoon 2 bundle was supply constrained.

I see.

It seems normal Switch is not supply constrained.

I guess 40-50k is the Switch baseline.

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Hmm, not as much a boost as expected for the Switch, but yep the PS4 has started rolling down that cliff.
New baseline for switch in the works ? the next 2 weeks should tell.

How is 55k good? Switch was doing 40-50k weekly but t only had a 10k boost with Kirby and splatoon bundle. Both ps4 and switch sales were bad

Lots of games and lots of flops along with low HW sales.

SMO is also slowing down now. Zelda is ahead this week.

And Splatoon..

Look at those Legs *-*

 

Pretty nice legs. And body... Ahem.

 

Attack On Titan Two doing okay. If it didn't do too hot here it's barely gonna move consoles anywhere else although I did buy it. Fantastic game BTW!

 

55K for Switch seems fine imo. After hearing a few people basically saying that these who think Switch will get some sort of boost of kirby are in dreamland. Lol.

 

Great week all round though.

I noticed that you aren't posting the comprehensive tables with YTD and LTD figures anymore. Please bring them back. It's sufficient if you only do this for Media Create.

On topic: Switch got the ~60% market share that I expected for the week, but the raw numbers are disappointing. Sales of Switch evergreens are surprisingly down despite the increase in hardware sales.

At least Kirby got off to a good start.

Kirby top 3 debut excludes digital, with digital its probably 2nd maybe 1st but i doubt it.

 

I hope nsw sales improve 55k is disappointing

Nice start for Kirby! I don't think I'll get the game personally but it's always nice to see a game succeed.

Does anyone know the current YTD totals for all platforms?

Edit: Future card buddy fight was born! Our strongest buddy! - Gotta love that title.

Anyone has the Ytd chart? Seems Switch will catch up to the PS4 faster than I thought it would
