Predictions: (actual)

Week 47: 140k (108k)

Week 48: 120k (120k)

Week 49: 310k (281k)

Week 50: 180k (281k)

Week 51: 290k (278k)

Week 52: 140k

Total: 1.18m

Again Switch sold very close to what I expected. I still expected it to be up from last week, as well as the PS4 but it seems things have shifted a bit.

Onimusha did alright, but it is still probably a flop in Capcom's eyes. Splatoon 2 barrels towards 3m physical. I do wonder what the record physical SW was for 3DS and if Splatoon 2 will pass them.

If I'm not wrong the ones that sold more (from 3DS) than Splatoon 2 in Japan are:

Animal Crossing: 4,9 M 

Pokemon X/Y: 4,4M,

Pokemon  Sun/Moon: 3,8M

Monster Hunter 4: 3,4M

Yokai Watch 2: 3,2M

Pokemon Sapphire, Ruby: 3,15M

It definitely has a good chance then to surpass them all, nothing above 5m. It's competition on the Switch itself has still yet to come though like mainline Pokemon and Animal Crossing.
