So for some reason some of the 2017 Switch games I know we still sell aren't in the database, so there are a few glaring omissions this week.

Week ending 12-14:

Jedi: Fallen Order (week 4)

  • PS4 (standard): 18,000
  • XB1: missing from db
  • Xbox One S bundles: 800
  • Xbox One X bundles: 1700

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (week 39, Game Awards GOTY winner week)

  • PS4: 500
  • XB1: 200

Death Stranding (week 6): 3100

Super Mario Odyssey: 5300

Smash Ultimate: 19,100

Gears 5 (week 14): 1700

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 21,400

Is Luigi's Mansion 3 selling really well in this December?

JFO has an awesome leg so far while Death Stranding struggles. Smash Ultimate and MK8D legs are truly insane.

I'll be sure to check all the recent major Switch releases next time around. LM3 hasn't been on sale yet, but I have no doubt it's still selling at least 10k per week.

And now that I think about it, Fallen Order might have similar legs to Modern Warfare. I'll check that too to see which is on top of the non-Switch heap, at least in terms of legs.

The one I'm most surprised about is Gears 5. Game Pass subs aren't eating its sales as much as I thought they would.



Found a workaround for the titles missing from the database.

Damn, JFO is looking really great with that monstrous sales. Perhaps it may have a shot at taking the number one spot in December NPD.  Benji also tweets something similar about it.

 

MK8 and Smash Bros also may have a shot at placing in the top 10. 

My prediction for the NPD December's top 10

1.Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
2.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019
3.Pokémon Sword
4.Madden NFL 20
5.Mario Kart 8
6.Luigi’s Mansion 3
7.NBA 2K20
8.Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
9.Pokemon Shield
10.
Just Dance 2020



Those Fallen Order numbers are unreal.  It is selling about twice as much as Call of Duty!

If any developer needed an unambiguous success, it was Respawn. And if any publisher needed to be shown it can still make $$$ without microtransactions, it was EA!



Looking forward to this week's numbers. Christmas falling mid-week should boost keep W52 closer to W51 than usual.



Sorry to keep you waiting. Here are the #s for the final week of the decade!

Week ending 12-28

Splatoon 2: 6,000
Mario Odyssey: 8,700

MK8 Deluxe:        38,700
Smash Ultimate:    32,300
Pokemon Sword:    28,200
Pokemon Shield:  20,300
Pkmn Double Pack: 1,300
Link's Awakening: 13,300
Astral Chain: 1,000
Death Stranding: 2,300
Jedi Fallen Order
PS: 21,000

XB1X bndl: 2,500
Gears 5: 2,100
Modern Warfare
PS: 12,300
XB: 11,300

JFO is going to take the number one spot in December NPD this time for sure unless Modern Warfare has monstrous digital sales ahead of JFO which I doubt about it.
I'm not so sure about Pokemon Sword being above MK8D and SSBU anymore based on those numbers heck even LM3 might be charted above Pokemon Sword.

Death Stranding with an awful leg and probably didn't even have any chance of surpassing Days Gone number, to begin with.

A big Thanks to you OP for providing those awesome pieces of information.

You're welcome, LGBTDBZBBQ! I'll be sure to continue this year, and please send in requests!
My new year's resolution for this project: remember to check Ring Fit Adventure. It completely slipped my mind at the same time the casuls were probably snapping it up during the holidays.
