Rough couple of weeks for Switch hardware. PS5 doing well, but note this is because of the start of a new sale (which ends 7th Sept).

Blasphemous 2 did well for a game the vast majority of people will buy digitally; Spain seems to have a soft spot for indie physical releases on Switch.

ACVI didn't do well for FromSoft game... but it did OK for a mech game.

YoY changes for the week:
PS5 +197%
NS -60.5%
XS -64.1%

You certainly wouldn't expect an Indie to surpass the release of such a hyped game like FromSoft has knowadays with their notoriety but hey the first Blasphemous was popular and physical Indies do well on Switch surprisingly.

Yes, you could, and yes, a lot of people did just that.

However, this doesn't mean that they all remember something that dates back months already.

Yep, how could people possibly remember arguments that have been made Switch’s entire life?

I remember when 2017 was supposed to be it’s peak year because all the Nintendo fans got one for Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon & 3D Mario.

And the next year, we had the argument that after Pokémon, nothing of big value would come out to drive up the sales again.

There's always something coming to entice at least a new portion and old portion to get on the ride be it a new system for replacement or gifts for young children who haven't gotten one yet.
