Thanks again!

Massive numbers for ACNH.  If it follows the same multiplier as Pokemon did from your numbers to Nintendo's PR for the 1st weekend, then we are looking at >2M from North America.

Week ending November 16: Pokemon!!!!

(...)

102,000

Nintendo reported >2.0M sell-through (physical+digital, two days, through 11/16).  So that's the same time-frame as your reporting.

So in the instance of Pokemon Sword & Shield, your data represented ~5% of total US sell-through.  Cool to know!  But we cannot use that to extrapolate for others of course.

Great observation! And my AC New Horizons week 2 numbers

Animal Crossing New Horizons (week 2): 57,000

match Pokemon's 56,300 week 2 almost perfectly. I also checked New Leaf: 1,400 last week.

If we compare Japan's Famitsu sales, Pokemon went from a 1.36 mil week 1 to 380k week 2 (-72%). Animal Crossing went from 1.8 mil week 1 to 730k week 2 (-59%). My store went from 102k to 56.3k (-45%) for Pokemon and 108k to 57k (-47%) for Animal Crossing.

Anything for week 3?

Damn, Animal Crossing NH is performing at the same level as Pokemon SwSh in the US.

I'd bed its outperforming SwSh greatly on the digital front due to the shutdown/lockdowns.

Sorry, I couldn't get anything for that week. However, I have 2 weeks' worth to report today. I didn't check AC though.

Week ending 4-11 (but only up to Friday):

 Final Fantasy 7 Remake: 19k (day 1)

 Resident Evil 3 Remake: 1.8k PS, 0.8k XB (first 6 days of week 2)

 Persona 5 Royal: 2k (day 1) (not sure how I got that since it came out in late March...)

 Tokyo Mirage Sessions: 0.1k (first 6 days of week 13)

Week ending 4-18 (full week):

 FF7R: 4k (week 2)

 RE3R: 0.9k PS, 0.4k XB (week 3)

Week ending 4-25
Trials of Mana (week 1): 500 PS4, no data available for Switch
FFVII Remake (week 3): 500, all SKUs (only on PS4)
...Now I'm gravely disappointed that I forgot Sakura Wars! *karate chops table in half out of frustration*

I suspect FF is supply limited, and in all likelihood ToM sold better on Switch, like most other multiplats at my store, at least physically.



Mr_Destiny on 08 June 2020

Laziness is at an end. Week ending June 6:
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive week 2: 2.2k
Borderlands Collection Switch week 2: 1.3k
Bioshock Collection Switch week 2: 1.5k
Xcom 2 Collection Switch: no data
Trials of Mana PS4 (week ?):



Mr_Destiny on 08 June 2020

Is it just me, or is my post chopped off right where the ToM PS4 numbers should be?
