Here is the week 45 update in terms of the two big consoles in Japan's path to be able to reach the commonly stated (in these sales threads) estimates for 2018 sales (2 mil for PS4, 4 mil for Switch) .
| |
TWS |
GD |
YTD |
% Goal |
AWN (Change) |
| PS4 |
16,081 |
-66,034 |
1,359,155 |
68.0% (+0.8) |
91,549 (+9434) |
| Switch |
54,235 |
-191,483 |
2,088,488 |
52.2% (+2.1) |
273,355 (+27,355) |
TWS - This week's sales
GD - Goal differential, the difference between the average week needed from last week compared to this week's sales
YTD - Units sold in 2018 so far including this week's sales
AWN - Average weekly sales needed to reach the estimate for the console.
At this point, it looks like it's merely a race to see who can get closest to the goal. The Switch would have to sell 400k+ with the Smash/Pokemon bundles in next week's numbers to convince me it has a prayer of reaching its goal. The PS4 has no chance at all. So who can get closest? We'll have a very good idea of Pokemon and Smash's holiday power next week.

Has to do 400k? Huh lol. If it did 400k next week it would mean itll be closer to 5mil than 4mil by years end. Have you seen best HW weeks outside of launch? I mean "400k" xD

It needs 275k each week xD.
If it can't eat into its AWN with Pokemon launch + Pokemon/Smash bundles then the Math will become impossible xD
For instance if it's 150k next week then it will need 295k the remaining weeks xD
400k will lower it to 250k the remaining weeks xD
It has to actually hit and surpass its AWN eventually if it wants to hit 4 million xD
