Switch domination again. Good to see the numbers wise once more this week from what they were last week. .Now with Smash Bros next week, it should rise again next week. Pokemon looking like it will hit 1 million next week.

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

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.

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

Did you found the cliff already?

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

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

Thanks. Glad the chart gives a more comprehensive reading. Enjoy doing it. I was expecting +170 tbh, but still +10k up isn't bad. Holdays are coming.

He hasn't found the cliff in japan, not yet

SMP did great with the bundle. Probably next week whe have them in the million-seller club?



Pacman



OK week but next week will be far more interesting, Smash Bros week, so we probably talking about 200k+.

Also with next week numbers Switch will take down Vita LT numbers in Japan.

will next week include smash release?



Very nice numbers. Nice increase for Switch, expected low numbers for others. Smash will overtake everything so this is the last week with non crazy numbers.

I am surprised at Mario Party. %104 is a nice increase haha.

btw, the Vita has been overtaken, technically, as 5,9 million includes PSTV. Without it, Vita stands at about 5,7 million units.



Hang on so the Switch is up on last week and only 4K down on last year's sales for the same week and this is a disappointment? Switch didn't explode until the week Pokemon launched. Same could happen with Smash. Let's wait and see what happens next week. One thing I will say is that Smash should easily sell over 1 million games next week in Japan and if 200K consoles can sell with 600K Pokemon games then that should be the floor for Switch sales next week.

That is an ambitious line of thinking. Smash does not sell consoles like Pokemon does. I do not expect a 200k week although I would not be shocked if it happened. Smash has never moved that kind of hardware and I am not going to use 200k as a judgement point next week.

There's about to be am explosion next week. We shall see how much switch sells and consideimg PS4 was down this week, and might be down next week. We might see the pacman almost completely close it's mouth. Switch sales from now on are going to be interesting to follow since it needs to stay above 200k from now on for any sizable improvement from last year and any hope of Japan helping it get that 20mil by march. I'm optimistic but I would love a 300k+ week from switch. It's not entirely impossible it highly improbable but I'll still hope for the sake of the switch, and the Japanese video game market in general



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
