Well… what you once called “strange” seems to be reality. There was a +50% WoW boost for NS1 sales figures with the Lite model being the most popular SKU. NS2 got slapped hard, down to 41k. You shoulda listened to me, Norion!

Also: 500k for Tomodachi Life is utterly crazy. That makes for one of the biggest launched in JP of the Switch generation.

I mean I think that expectation was reasonable since a big game releasing on an old console that can also be played on a new one usually boosts hardware a lot more for the new one. I guess the lack of a Switch 2 edition and consequently lack of a marketing push for that played a role. Due to the Switch 2 getting no boost at all the total sales boost is actually lower than I expected. I would've guessed that the numbers for April 13-19th would've been something like 25k Switch 1 and 70k Switch 2.

It was definitely a reasonable one, I agree. I think Tomodachi Life is just a very special case, having only ever been released on handheld devices at $40USD.

Also I'm sorry if my message this morning came off a little rude. I just re-read it with a brain at 7pm CST and...yeah I feel a little bad.
