Great Nintendo-numbers, especially Splatoon 2. And we continue to get hilariously translated names, Made in Wario gorgeous

Ps4 having good sale. 7m party next week. Can't wait!



Random observation, but if Switch maintains a 50k average and PS4 a 20k average, the gap will be under 2 million by the end of September.

Great! The Switch will have a 7m party too early next year!

I think this year.

It did 3.3 million last year so it needs 3.7 million this year which should be doable.

Splatoon 2 could be in for a 4m LT in Japan alone by the looks of it.



When I look up "Barrett Girls Fantasia" I get porn links.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

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.

Price is holding the Switch back in Japan. Once it gets its first price drop, Kaboom!

I agree and same goes for the west, once it gets a price cut it will start to outpace 3DS even more.

Will definitely be curious to see when the first Switch price drop happens. I'd guess November 2019 maybe?
