Switch entering in beast mode, also, when was last time this kind of domination?

88.4% of hole market just for Switch, damn.

Pokemon Let's Go sales are just from 3 days. (Aggregation Period: November 16, 2018 to November 18, 2018 / Sales days: 3 days)

FW is FW. Almost all games only have 2-3 days of tracking in their FW so it's not really worth pointing out. It's a good opening for let's go.

Here is the week 46 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 % Goal AWN (Change)
PS4 17,789 -73,760 1,376,944 68.8% (+0.8) 103,842 (+12.293)
Switch 200,850 -72,223 2,289,338 57.2% (+5.0) 285,110 (+12,037)

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.

Big week as expected for the Switch with Pokemon release + Pokemon/Smash bundles. It actually got closer to its goal than the PS4 did for the first time in like half a year or so, by about 500 units. Both systems' AWN raised by 12k. The race to who can come closest has tightened up considerably.

Do you have JP hardware LT totals?

LOL, I guess I should have just waited a few minutes and posted on here. Like I said in the other thread, I still see the Switch missing its goal by around 800k-1M, unless there are no drops, and the PS4 only missing it by 200K-400k.

800k-1m???? That would only be 3-3.2 million for the whole year when last year did 3.3 million.



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

If Switch sells 200k every single week for the rest of the year it ends up at 3.5 million. Are you expecting it to sell 200k next week?

That's closer to a Nintendo circle than a Pac man...

Brilliant Switch sales, Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee sales will only continue over the holidays. I'm guessing media create doesn't count the digital versions that came with the bundles which I'm sure a significant portion of those 200k Switch units came from.

More closer to 175,000 every single week, I think to reach 3.5. 200,000 each week will put it about 3,689,000.

Correction: I actually think your numbers are correct, I thought we had 7 weeks remaining not 6.
