Here are the first full quarter sales for 3DS, Vita, Wii U & PS4.

3DS, April to June 2011-350k (27k/week)

Vita, Jan to March 2012-200k (15k/week)

Wii U, Jan to March 2013-225k (17k/week)

PS4, April to June 2014-125k (10k/week)

Vita, Wii U & PS4 are all dogshit terrible so it would really be pathetic if Switch dropped to a similar baseline. 3DS baseline was better but still rather poor.

Under 30k baseline would be pretty disappointing for Switch, 30-50k would be good and 50k+ would be great.

You talking about average weekly sales in first quarter after launch?

Even if Switch can do average weekly sales around 30k until Splatoon 2 arrives that would be pretty good, around 40k weekly until Splatoon 2 arrives would actually be great.

Yes, 3DS launched in Feb 2011, Vita in Dec 2011, Wii U in Dec 2012, PS4 in Feb 2014 so these are the first full post-launch quarters.

Idk, around 30k baseline would be sorta meh.......thats barely over 3DS baseline which was considered poor and led to a ¥10,000 price drop.

For reference, here are the averages for the previous generation.

DS, Jan to March 2005-560k (43k/week)

PSP, Jan to March 2005-680k (52k/week)

PS3, Jan to March 2007-365k (28k/week)

Wii, Jan to March 2007-1.02m (80k/week)

Being barely over the 3DS & PS3 baseline, which were both considered poor, really wouldnt be that good. Being in the 40-50k range like DS & PSP however would be pretty solid.
