Good:
Switch is enjoying stability at 40k-50k mark.
Megaman X collection does decently on both Switch and PS4
Nintendo dominates the top 20

Meh:
PS4 sales go below 20,000
Octopath suffers due to retailers/squareenix neglect of demand

Bad:
All three relevant consoles of last year are greatly down this week.
Monster Hunter PS4 Bundle had no effect

When whas the ps4 mh bundel announced?

https://www.jp.playstation.com/press-releases/2018/20180715/

Says here July 15. Partly the reason it most likely had no effect on slowing declines is due to the fact Monster Hunter retail version is discounted by retailers.

Switch hardware sales staying steady at a baseline in the high 40 thousands. Splatoon 2 will hit 2.5 million at retail in Japan next week, also did Switch have two Mega Man skus?

The big releases in Japan this time last year are starting to take their toll, confident Switch will manage to make it out up year over year in time for it's big holiday line-up.

Only needs to average 40k/week to remain up going into the last 10 weeks of the year, should do that quite easily.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
