Nice graph. I was thrown off for a moment with the 'baseline', but it actually is the average for this year, am I right? Baseline usually refers to the low-end sales which are to expect. Probably you should label these lines as average to avoid confusion.

Switch steadily going up gives me the idea that we’re past the worst period of the year.

Btw, Mario Tennis Aces legs seem to be promising.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

You are right, I always mix up my small Japanese developers it seem.

Switch hardware can't be stopped. Absolute pac man. The baseline is around 50k, that is now established. PS4 numbers are continuing to fall.

Btw what is the total of the Switch in Japan now?

MTA doing pretty well after all.
Switch over 50k entering July is pretty great tbh.

PS4 normally falling down with big games already out and from the summer lows.

Ys started with 28K on PS4, so 6K is kinda meh.

EDIT: I kinda missed Minecraft release on Switch last week. Has anyone numbers on how Minecraft started first weeks on other platforms? In this case Vita is also an interesting comparison, Minecraft on Vita is big in Japan.

Ya 6k isnt too great but then again it is a year old port of a year old port so not too much should have been expected, apparently its doing pretty good in the west.

I dont remember the exact numbers but someone did a comparison on resetera, Switch version of Minecraft had the best debut of all versions.
