I'm not sure how that could be "easy". If anything would have been "easy" to reach those numbers it'd be this week's sales where the two big holiday bundles launched. This seems like blind optimism like how Labo was treated. |
How? Holiday season + Smash Bros plus Pokemon effect, simple as that. Last year we still didnt had nothing in November and December from big releases and we had 270k week in December, this year with Smash and Pokemon Switch will destroy last year numbers. Actually we will most likely have couple of 300k+ weeks in December.
Thats wrong, Holiday season just starting in Japan, and most of people will buy consoles after Holiday season starts not on launch of this bundles, its not like they have good deals or anuthing with those bundles currently.
This doesn't have anything with Labo, we talking about clear facts here, Nintendo always has huge sales in Japan in December and this year have launch of Smash Bros and effect of Pokemon launch (reports saying that game has great word of mouth and that Pokemon will most likly contine to perform strong in any case).
Also, you have gut calling that "blind optimism", when you on other hand make thread where stated there is no chance that Nintendo will hit 100m software target this year.

However after Pokemon + Smash bundle achieved 200k, seeing 100k increase from Smash alone is quite a stretch. |
Smash Bros bundle has limited effect currently, you cannot play game before 7. December when game actually launches. Also, we have report that Smash Bros bundle is still available while Pokemon bundles are sold out for now. Smash Bros will have real launch in any case in December, not last week.
