I don't know how anyone can be disappointed with these numbers. They are highly impressive for the Japanese Market and Nintendo is slaughtering the competition.

PS4 is doing pretty good for itself.

Its disappointing because historically week 51 has decent growth over week 50 whereas this year it is flat.

It is still a fine week. Also I need switch to do 200,000 to be close to my prediction of 1.05 million I might be off by 25,000, but next week should see possible steep declines. 

(Oh wait the prediction was based on VGC numbers for December and December was 5 weeks on VGC. so it will most likely beat my prediction easily by 100,000.)

I think we should look at it in a different way. The Switch has done consistent numbers for about 3 weeks now. It is one single plateau that could be considered a peak spread out over those weeks instead of one big peak at week 51. All in all, the sales are still better than last year.

So true, it is holding on quite nicely, actually up YOY for the Week. Overall, it is pretty close to flat YOY in total. 

It will be very interesting to see how things go in January with KH3. 

I still say Sony absolutely has to set themselves up to offer a Mobile PlayStation sometime in the future, if they want to stay competitive in Japan long term. A 7nm Ryzen/Navi Mobile PlayStation 5 Tablet would be very possible at launch, and then a 3nm PlayStation 5 Phone in 2023 on a 3nm Ryzen/Navi Mobile revision would give PS5 a huge shot in the arm in Japan at the mid cycle refresh. Hopefully Kenichiro Yoshida and John Kodera have good long term business sense. They will be facing competition in Microsoft, Nintendo, and even Apple and Google, who will be offering games on a much wider range of form factors than just a dedicated home based console. Offering more options, and allowing people to game the way that suits their lifestyle will be key to maintaining and possibly growing the success that they have seen with PS4.

Thought hardware would be at least 350K...

Ya ~280k is a great week regardless, just less than expected

Yeah Switch numbers were already elevated for two previous weeks due to Smash. Its still selling 3 times it's Weekly average.

PS4 selling very strong, Switch numbers below than what most people expected.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 with a mediocre first week, hoping for strong legs.
