| friendlyfamine said: 160k is a huge drop...the Switch might be in danger of averaging at last years numbers which wouldn't be ideal as they would need to severely overperform in the holiday season to meet their higher fiscal prediction. Average 200k would be alright, but that is not happening here it seems. It was happening just before the end of last fiscal, however. |
It's mostly due to a pretty dry season concerning high profile releases. 4 updated Wii U re-releases (Bayonetta 1+2, Hyrule Warriors and DK:TF), 2 Labo which seriously ain't for everybody, a relatively meh Kirby in terms of ratings. In other words not much to set the sales on fire.
But this won't be like this for long. In June the Switch will certainly pick up steam, and not just because of E3. Mario Tennis Aces on the 22nd and the following week Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy (yes, the release got moved forward by 2 weeks), Ys VIII and Wolfenstein 2 all in one week. Other titles like BlazBlue, Sushi Striker , The Banner Saga 2 and Lego The Incredibles will also help keeping the baseline well above last year's numbers.
