Looks like we can expect 150k+ next week ^^
But it will clearly lose the battle against last year's big Q1 title Monster Hunter Rise, which sold 267k.

Arceus is already the 4th big Pokemon game and many who wanted a Switch for Pokemon should already have it.

If 2022 sells 1.3mil this quarter, it’ll be in a very good position (2021/2020 sold 1.7mil), it would need to sell around 800k for each quarter (Q2/Q3) and have a holiday of 1.5mil and that would be well over 4mil there. 2021 had an amazing H1, H2 even with OLED wasn’t as big as many would think. I have to have a comparison to show for each Half to paint a better picture
