Huge Switch/Smash numbers, next week will be explosive



Farsala on 19 December 2018

Predictions: (actual)

Week 47: 140k (108k)

Week 48: 120k (120k)

Week 49: 310k (281k)

Week 50: 180k (281k)

Week 51: 290k

Week 52: 140k

Total: 1.18m

Pretty far off this time, but next week should be closer. Overall I am at -100k and if I underestimate Week 52 similarly then I might be -150k to -200k.

Incredible week for Switch
Great week for PS4
Smash having a nice hold
Judge Eyes having a good opening for a spin off
Pour one out for God Eater

I didn't knew you were still active, would you kindly make Japan 'releases' threads like you did with the Wii?

Hey! I'm back for a while, last time I promised I would and didn't do it for more than a couple of weeks. I will try, I've been away for too long and I feel lost Japan wise. Need to do some research first and get up to date with everything

No worries, you don't have to do it, I just enjoyed those threads :).  If you do take your time :).

Judgment did well! My goal for it was 150k FW, so it's right on the money.

Switch HW and PS4 both showing well too!

God Eater 3 didn't do so hot. Dropping the Vita version from these games is leading to very little conversion to PS4/NSW versions. Can still be salvaged from Asian and Western sales, but at least it didn't flop completely.

I'm 99.9% positive GE3 will be ported to the Switch. Hopefully it can do well there as God Eater was initially a portable franchise. Sticking to PS4 only doesn't make much sense.

No need to mention how impressive the Switch sales are but not enough love for just how good the ps4 sales are, that's an insane sales increase without any major release, price cut should have happened along time ago.

It also thrived in the absence of Monster Hunter.  PS4 HAS Monster Hunter.  And MHW has a much larger budget and it definitely shows in the presentation so not only is GE3 having to compete with MH, it is getting shown up.  Going PS4 only was very foolish given the history of the franchise.

Unfortunately, porting it to Switch will probably not help now.  It will be old news and for midtier franchises that's very detrimental.  It won't hurt, but this should have had a Switch version from the start.

Wow, I'm impressed at Switch numbers. Smash is around what I expected.

Btw, congrats to the Yakuza team for the great debut of Judge Eyes, a promising new franchise.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
