That is an ambitious line of thinking. Smash does not sell consoles like Pokemon does. I do not expect a 200k week although I would not be shocked if it happened. Smash has never moved that kind of hardware and I am not going to use 200k as a judgement point next week.

I wouldn't call it ambitious since er are entering the biggest month of the year for console sales.

 

Last year's sales for next week are 168K. The Switch should be comfortably up. 

Last year's sales below.

Week 49 = 164.908 (this is the Smash week)
Week 50 = 221.210
Week 51 = 269.684
Week 52 = 134.519
Week 1 2018 = 146.006

You just switched from saying Smash should do this to it can do those numbers because of the time of year. My response was to your belief Smash will move a lot of console and nothing more. It is an ambitious line of thinking (that means your specific thought expressed). I do not believe Smash will sell a lot of consoles; however, it is quite possible that the time of year has a big affect on sales next week.
