It seems like stock issues aren't as big as last week



Is Switch up again with nothing new (I remember 100K last week)? OK, yes, Masked Rider, but it's more or less nothing. Pokemon closing in on the first million. With luck next week, but probably needs two weeks. Persona Q2 second, looks decent to me, but has someone the first game and Etrian Odyssey openings for comparison? And Shenmue and Fallout dropping hard.

EDIT: Also worth mentioning: the miracle of COD continues.

This week Switch is up +12k from last week and down +4k from last years' while PS4 is down from both: +3k (last week) and +12k (last years'). Baseline for switch mantains @39696 while PS4 is @17642. The top 10 weeks for SW are:

7 45 54235

 Making this third best week overall the year. While PS4

its the holidays, this week hardware numbers are usually much bigger then last week going by history. most thought it would be a 150k for for switch this week, they are ok numbers, switch is not exploding so far in japan so far.



Switch sold more this week than last week, didn't expect that.



Switch over 100k again! And that SMP Boost! + Pokemon Lets Go almost @ 1million Retail!



Pocky Lover Boy!

Thanks for your work. I look forward every week to this graph, as it makes the data more understandable.

It can't compare simply because we're at the end of the 3DS's lifetime and it's software isn't selling as much.

Yeah, I know. Still interesting to compare.

If that is the holiday effect, why is PS4 down?

Did you found the cliff already?

Yeah, one or two weeks, then Pokemon has the million.

PS4 is dead in japan and already off a cliff, isn't that obvious?
