Heading for the third best result for a H1 only behind the DS during it's peak in 2006/2007 when for H1 it managed 3.54 million/3.97 million, DS in 2006/2007 managed 8.35 million/7.16 million, so in terms of hardware Switch should easily end up above 6.25 million - question is how high can it end up. I think with the Pro launch it's possible to get very close to 7 million.

Three weeks left of the Quarter, in terms of Software we won't be able to match the Top 30 of last year due to New Horizon being unrivaled. 

Seems that there will be only three exclusive PS4 games that are able to make the Top 30, although there is some doubts about Scarlet Nexus at this point - pre-orders on COMG/Amazon.co.jp need to pick up. Overall PlayStation ecosystem will be down around 2 million YoY just across the Top 30.

For Nintendo it's interesting how Game Builder Garage(currently #1 on Amazon.co.jp) & Mario Golf perform as they are the biggest games on the Switch until the end of the Quarter. 

In terms of the multiplats doesn't seem that Samurai Warriors 5 will be hoping the opening combined across the Switch/PS4 to get close to the debut of the prior entry on the PS3/PSV, but WoM would be key. Overall early signs are that it would open below 150K combined. 

[PS3] Samurai Warriors 4 - 149.068 / 255.938

[PSV] Samurai Warriors 4 - 43.545 / 91.107
