Had been busy but the charts are up again... This time I did from W51 because I don't know where I left off and additional two comparison will be made between last year same week and previous week (will try to make them by percentage to have a better reading). Unexpected W52 saw all of us troubled but the behavior of the next weeks have been unprecendent with how much SW has been able to pull of. In this year the new baseline has been set high to 71139 (20k more from last year's) for the Switch and 16463 (1k less from last year's) for the PS4. Let's see how this baseline varies in the upcoming weeks.

Oh really surprised by Ace Combat's numbers.
Switch sales are great, while PS4's are just ugh. Good hold for NSMBUDX. Smash coming for Splat2n's wig.
Breath of the Wild continues in the middle part of the top 20, while Mario Odyssey is out.

Race to 3 million between smash and splatoon will be interesting to watch.
Keeping like this and smash will have 6 or 7 weeks to go, while splatoon have 10.
However, is more likely to smash show a higher drop than splatoon.

PS4 hardware... despite so close to KH3 and RE2R, the hardware is barely moving.

If the PS4 isn't number 1 next week in hardware then it will be incredibly dire for that console in Japan.

Switch is keeping a great momentum thus far.

Last year, Monster Hunter World released on January 26th so pretty much the same as Kingdom Hearts III this year but the PS4 sales are not behaving in the same manner at all. The two weeks prior to the release of MHW, the PS4 saw a surge of sales and outsold the Switch but this year it's very flat. I do think there's going to be a boost to the sales next week but it's not going to be the 140k and 109k weeks we saw last year.
