Ultimate is coming to smash some inklings! To get that best selling Switch game in Japan.

Beast mode activated. 2 weeks around 300k, I don't know how it wouldn't sell at least 1 million per week WW

Predictions (actual)

Week 47-125k (108k)

Week 48-150k (120k)

Week 49-325k (281k)

Week 50-325k (281k)

Week 51-375k

Week 52-200k

Total-1.5m

YTD-3.75m

Here is the week 50 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 - 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.

Switch continues amazing sales by staying flat the week after Smash. PS4 with a slight rise. Switch is now over 3 million and PS4 is now over 1.5 million. In terms of percentages the Switch is now less than 2% away from overtaking the PS4 which should easily happen in next week's numbers. For my predictions I expected a soft decline after Smash but was off once more and the PS4 has already far surpassed what I thought it would do before the big promotion was announced..

Personal Estimates

NS: 120k, 145k, 240k, 200k, 295k, 250k = 1.25m would end just above 3.5 mil for the calendar year.

PS4: 20k, 25k, 30k, 25k, 40k, 30k = 170k would end up just above 1.5 mil for the calendar year.

I expected a large rise after this week for the Switch, and I still do. Week 51 should be massive.

That should be a lock. last year had 404k over the last two weeks. Switch aint having a worse 2 week period to end the year than it did last year.

It's 20k higher than the Fist of the North Star initial week, so I'd say it's a solid initial week sales.

It is solid, if the west has correlated effect of also doing well (also legs?). If this title final total is too heavy on Japan (assuming it settles at 200,000), I imagine they would be disappointed, namely since remaking Yakuza has been more beneficial to them overall. 

Splat2 is 3.08mil (ship+digital). Smash wont pass it, splat2 should add another 200k+ or more for the quarter

How far is it from both DQ games? 

Excellent sales for Nintendo. Hopefully next week, Nintendo Switch can pull off 320,000…if not something around 380,000!
