Is this the lowest week ever for the Switch?!

From the data I have collected, slowest even in 2018

Solo, so very low...

At least we know it will explode once Pokemon launches.



Yeah, the lack of significant releases in Japan vs the West is really showing in the sales. A price cut or temporary deal/bundle could help a lot in floating things til June.

SMM2 alone can save this and make it back to 40000+, and we know SMM2 is not coming alone...

But still, this is a red flag which says that at this price, it is getting too much now after 26 months.

Way to contradict yourself within such a short post.

Not at all, I was clearly saying that without big release, the Switch already collapses to PS4 numbers after 5 years.



All consoles at dead levels... I wonder if the US will react similarly.

This is a very slow part of the year, although sales might still be down even considering that.

Still I find it impressive that Zelda is in the top 10 again. Sure Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart are still going strong too, but who expected Zelda is right there in the top 10 with them?

This Zelda has been a changer for the franchise. Never would have expected to hit this level two years later. But the game is worth.



Terrible sales all around, hardware and software. It's gonna be a long wait for the Super Mario Maker 2 boost.



Signature goes here!

SMM2 boost...Still something has changed, The Switch will never reach 100 millions. Without new big release, the sales are collapsing already, which means that the Switch has started its decline and 2019 will be the peak year, not 2020. Ofcourse there will be enough huge sales booster between SMM2 and Christmas to get strong numbers for this year, but I know now when I have to resell my shares.

Always so quick to jump off the ship, are ya ?

I know right...  Animal Crossing and mainline Pokemon still not even released.  Those are bigger system sellers in Japan than Smash.
