Hi, can I ask you to update this graph with week 48 and 49? maybe even make a thread out of it?

I think it's very interesting to see the gap with last year and the growth in percentage. It's a good way to see if the 20mil are possible for FY 2018 IMO

As of december 8th the growth is ~+27.5%. With NSMBUDX releasing later this week it's going to be very interesting to see what numbers january will bring.

Hi ! I have not really updated it more because I don't trust the last Hardware result here with the Smash week. I think it is pretty difficult to estimate this intensive period but as you wish. If we keep this 1.2M for the switch, sure the 20M are doomed. I would really bet a lot that Switch was much higher than the PS4 for this week even in Europe.
There is a mistake in my prediction that I should stop to do : I consider a constant ratio of 1.10 between the FY2017 and the tracked total sales of VGChartz (15,06/13,68), but this is not a ratio, it is rather a constant gap of ~1,5M, the size of the stores, retailers and warehouse is not growing as the Switch is increasing its sales.

Thanks a lot!

I think it's still interesting, even if the estimates for smash week are way off. I mean, as it stands with 1.2M in week 49, switch will ship 19.17M. 

A little hyped Nintendo Direct and Yoshi release in march to close this gap maybe?

EDIT: week 50 is in. 1'323'000. it brings the growrh YOY to 28.5% so an estimate of 19.34M shipped FY2018
