This was an excellent week for Switch.I will be the first to admit:I knew Lets Go would move consoles, but not to this extent.And honestly, taking into account that digital will probably add about 20% more units to the number of copies sold, the title also did more than I expected.Overall, this is a much better week than I expected for Nintendo.
It should be noted too that the only title that saw growth in the Switch userbase was the only one that launched this week:Pokemon.All the other evergreens remained static.So I fully expect to, when people that bought a Switch for Pokemon are done with that game, to go out and buy the other evergreens.So we should see a significant increase in their numbers from next week foward.
And honestly, PS4 numbers are simply sad and dissapointing.I mean, it should be expected because the system is going for its 6th year but still.The cannibalization that started early this year will just increase next year if the numbers from the past few weeks are anything to go by.New titles will have less and less effect on consoles sales due to the "old age" of the PS4, and given the Switch big success in Japan(since this is a discussion about japan) and Sony stupid new guidelines regarding censorship, Switch will start having more and more third parties on its systems, be it multiplatform or exclusive, making PS4 situation in Japan even worse.Honestly, I wont be surprised if we get a few sub 10k weeks next year for PS4.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
