Great sales

90k is too high for weekly sales. It will drop below that in October, but above 50k, maybe even 60k, should be achievable.

It is cater to parents, how is that not obvious? 

I don't see how it could possibly get that low so quickly now. It's becoming apparent that the Lite is not taking away sales from the original Switch, which itself is selling at least 50k weekly since the revised version was released, and the Lite is taylor made for the portable loving Japanese audience.

will make the thread. These numbers are MC related

There isn't much releasing in October in Japan until Luigi's Mansion on Halloween. Salles will drop down during that time, October is pretty slow in Japan.

That being said, they will quickly recover after October again, and should surpass last year's November by a fair margin. The question is if the Lite (and the tail end of Pokemon sales) is enough to counterbalance the lack of anything even close to Smash Ultimate in December.

Even if it drops below 90k during October, i really don't see it dropping below 70k tho, like the Switch was above 50k already and they aren't cannibalizing eachother. There is still DQ to be released and will boost for beginning of October, LM3 at the end, and the November sales will go up approaching holidays and Pokemon.

Don't think Switch will go below 300k WW until february

Edit: Nevermind, it was closer to the 3DS XL effect after all.

Hmm...it's really hard to tell.

This will be interesting to watch. 

I still stand by my 90k baseline though. 

Switch got pushed above 50k by the recent release of the new base model, otherwise it would have been more around 40k, maybe slightly below that since we only got 46k on Obon Week.

Yes, DQ XI S should boost early October sales, and Luigi should do so at the very end... but there's nothing in between those two except Story of Seasons. Maybe Ring Fit Adventure and the Yokay Watch remake can push some sales, too, but that's about it in between both releases. So sales will dip there, how much we'll see. I do agree that my 50k is the absolute baseline and I was expecting more like 60k, hence why I said 50k or 60k in that post. But 90k was simply too high for a baseline when no big game comes out.

As fot your last sentence, it will probably drop a bit below 300k in January and February, but I expect both months to stay above 250k. March, with Animal Crossing release, could be able to have a median 300k, though.
