50k baseline. At this pace it will be at 5 million sold in a matter of weeks. The Switch is simply dominating in Japan.

Is Obon known for big hardware boosts? I was thinking it was smaller than Golden Week.

I'm not too sure. I'm just going by what the MC thread on resetera has been saying for awhile. Since it's like a full week of holidays and Japan loves to shop on holidays there should be a a pretty big increase.

Hiska Kun gave some 3DS Obon numbers for reference. He didnt include 2011 or 2012 because they had a price cut and revision but here are 2013 & 2014 pre-Obon and Obon weeks.

2013, 58k to 70k

2014, 40k to 52k

So i guess ~60k give or take would be a decent result for Switch next week.

I can always tell what Japan's week was like just based on where Splatoon 2 is on the chart. This week it's number 2, so really just one significant release this week.

curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Switch is doing crazy well in Japan. I think the Japanese understand the console better than the American audience does.

How so?

3DS shipments

Japan-6.76

Americas-6.41

Other-5.82

NSW shipments

Japan-4.89

Americas-7.81

Other-6.97

To me it looks like the opposite.
