As I assume production increase happens slowly, I think August will see more sales than July, just because of better shipments. September will probably the first months where demand is met by supply, until holidays where it will be again to less supply. So I say +10% above June in July and +20% in August. As we have no hardware numbers yet, I have to guess there too. Let's say baseline is 150K a week. That makes it roughly 700K a month in June, 770K in July and 850K in August. |
I dont think the baseline has ever been as low as 150k (according to vgc) so I think that's lowballing it a bit. I cant seem to find the thread anymore but there was a thread with all the weekly hardware sales and there was not a single one below 200k. Last week revealed had it at 170k though.
But yeah, this is hella hard. All depends on the shipments.. I do think they will seriously have to make something happen for the Splatoon 2 demand. Anything less than 225-250k would have to be considered a miss and I do think they have made sure there has to be some stock at least.
Guessing 1.0 Million in July, 1.2 in August.
