Yeah, after the last two disappointing weeks they're both up again above their resective baselines (~20K/40K). But this week saw a number of mid-level releases, so that explains it. Does the rest of the year has consistent releases of at least decent software, so they both can keep up?

Anyways, PS4 version of Musou sold 4 times as much as Switch version. For FIFA it was nearly four times the sales. Anyone knows how well the Switch release of Dragon Ball Fighters hold up with this number? Valkyria Chronicles sold 10 times as much at the PS4 first week. But even then, VC4 on PS4 is still disappointing compared with previous entries. This makes me sad, as this games is quite good. I hope for better sales in the West. The World ends with you sold initially 80K in opening week on the DS, so 14K for a remake 10 years later seems OKish.

-PS4 has games like RDR2, CoD, AC Odyssey, BFV, Fallout 76, Just Cause 4 that are not big like they are in West but they can be considered for midsized games, and also price cut for PS4 Pro model.

-Switch in two days have launch of Super Mario Party, and in rest of October game like Mega Man 11, Dark Souls Remastered, Crash Bandicoot, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, so it should keep up in October. November and December are totaly difrent story, on 15. November we launch of Pokemon Lets Go, launch of Pokemon Lets Go bundles and launch of Smash Bros. Ultimate, in December we have launch of Smash Bros. Ultimate and Dragon Quest Builders 2 (that also comes to PS4), so Switch will kill in November and December espacily from 15. November, in last 6 weeks of week I dont expecting not single one week that will be below 200k.

Ah thanks. You're right. Super Mario Party should keep the Switch momentum until more titles arrive.
