  • Two Weeks left Hardware Gap is 311.979, on average Switch needs 156K sales per week to be the 2nd best result ever in Q1 behind DS's 1.95 million
  • In terms of Software the gap is 1.2 million so I won't be surprised with Monster Hunter Rise launch the Top 20 to be around 6 million
  • Momotaro has greatly outperformed previous evergreen titles on the Switch in Q1, game is heading towards at least 1.5 million sales this year
  • Ring Fit and Mario Kart 8 will greatly outperform their last year result, in the case of Ring Fit it's still supply constrained and selling at a premium
  • There will be around 5 titles that were launched this Quarter that are going make the Top 20 - Monster Hunter Rise, Bowser's Fury, Olive Town, Bravely Default 2, Little Nightmares 2/Densha GO!

Next quarter is when things get really interesting as there is Monster Hunter Rise, combined with a streak of software titles that will be providing momentum to hardware. By mid-year in 2020 Switch had sold 2.66 million hardware while Top 20 Software was at 9.31 million. This year we are heading towards 3 million hardware and 12 million software. The main difference being that at least 50% of software sales will be third party compared to 8% last year.
