Hi everyone, here is the March Update. (March had 5 weeks under my analysis)
There are several things to take a look at. It was an amazing month for the NS.
1) NS beat it's own record for most units sold in the past 12 months. It is now at 29.08M.
2) NS passed the alltime sales for the PSP and GBA
3)It was able to take a huge chunk of the Gap with the DS. Right now it is at 120k difference.
4)NS set the all console record for best March Year 5. It wasn't even close, the DS had 1.31M as the record, but NS sold 2.56M.
5)NS beat it's own March record, something that it is highly impressive. Given that it launched on March, then last year was somehow able to beat it and then this year it amazed with an even higher sales. (spoiler, March 2020 had 4 weeks).
6) Even though NS set a march record, april is going to be very far below. That extra week NS had this month goes to NS 2020 in april. Best case scenario we could see a range between 1.6M and 2.0M for april.
7)DS will regain much of the Gap it lost this month, as it sold 2.9M on April Year 5.
Here is the summary table:
April should be a bit quiet with records, but NS is having a fantastic Year 5.
How far do you think NS will go in April?
