Love Japanese names for games: "Commentary powerful professional baseball 2018".

So a re-release of Donkey Kong pushes hardware better than Labo. Gotta wonder if it comes down to availability more than new software for Japan.

Also, I'm thinking 30k could be a decent baseline for the PS4.

Golden week



another week without ps4 stock issues.
and ofc the Switch being a sales monster.



Here is the week 18 update in terms of the two big consoles in Japan's path to be able to reach the commonly stated (in these sales threads) estimates for 2018 sales (2 mil for PS4, 4 mil for Switch) .

  TWS GD YTD AWN (Change)
PS4 34,994 +528 828,667 34,450 (-16)
Switch 53,113 -37,361 886,516 91,573 (+1099)

TWS - This week's sales
GD - Goal differential, the difference between the average week needed from last week compared to this week's sales
YTD - Units sold in 2018 so far including this week's sales
AWN - Average weekly sales needed to reach the estimate for the console.

PS4 stays level with last week and reaches its AWN once again as stock remains fully available for Golden Week. Switch gets the anticipated GW boost following a strong initial week for DKTF.
