Dreadful numbers all over the charts. Now that the 3DS is out of the picture, between the PS4 lack of appeal in Japan and the lack of new games to push the Switch, this has the excitement of a snail race. At least next week BotW Switch will hit a million units sold at retail, which is great, and even if it's far less remarkable the Switch itself will pass the 1 million mark on YTD.

Ya but on the bright side, Switch having consistently decent sales (not great, not poor) in the first half of the year without a whole lot of big software is a good sign that it has alot of potential to have great sales in the 2nd half with big hitters like Yokai, Smash & Pokemon coming.

Oh, I don't doubt that, it won't get close to DS or even 3DS sales totals, but will be able to sell a good number of units in Japan when all is said and done. Still, having 3 ~ 4 high notes in sales on a pretty average year makes for a very boring thing to watch on a weekly basis.
