Q2 is going to be crazy compared to last year when we only had New Horizon making up more than 50% of Software sold.
The only major new games which launched were Clubhouse Games: 51, Xenoblade Chronicles & Trials of Mana.
This year with Week 2 of Monster Hunter Rise being part of Q2, if it opens at 1.7M, Week 2 with a drop of 80% we'd be looking at 340K, than an average of 100K for the remaining 12 Week we'd be looking at at least 1.5M, this is the most conservative outlook for Rise I can come up with, in actuality I think it will be over 2M during Q2.
Than we have the evergreens - Momotaro, Bowser's Fury & Ring Fit Adventure will be heading towards over 350K sales in Q2, while New Horizon & MK8D will be likely around 250K
There is actually a very strong line-up of new games launching through-out the next 3 months - Pokemon Snap, Rune Factory 5, Miitopia & Mario Golf being the ones that will easily break the 150K barrier.
So just across the Top 10, I think we would easily surpass 4 million sales in Q2, while Hardware I think should be at least 1.3M compared to 966K last year. There will also be a bunch of new games & evergreens in the 50K to 150K range. The worst selling game in the Top 20 will be x2 or x3 higher than the bottom ranked DQXIS, Taiko and Mario & Sonic did last year.
