Famitsu sales: Week 21, 2022 - (16th May - 22nd May)

[Farsala]

Last week I compared Switch average weekly sales up to Week 20. This week I want to do Week 21 and full calendar year average weekly sales.

Up to Week 21.

2022- 91k
2021- 124k
2020- 108k
2019- 62k
2018- 45k
2017- 42k

Compare that to full calendar year average weekly sales.

2022- 91k (Same)
2021- 107k (-17k)
2020- 114k (+6k)
2019- 86k (+24k)
2018- 67k (+22k)
2017- 65k (+23k)

What does this tell us? 2020 and 2021 beasted the entire year, with the average weekly sales maintaining above 100k for most of the year. 2019 2nd half beasted, but had a poor first half. 2018 and 2017 numbers aren't suitable comparisons at the moment for 2022.

2022 so far is definitely lagging behind 2020 and 2021 and will definitely beat 2018 and 2017. 2019 will be the challenge. So we basically have a range between 3.482m and 4.494m. If 2022 has a good holiday it could even get to 5m.
