I really appreciate that. You're awesome!
PS4 is up YOY (wow!), Ring Fit seems to have a supply bottleneck...

Slightly above. so 190-200k. |
I'm going slightly below, just cause that's been the trend the past couple of weeks. So 170K-180K.

It should be higher than that, with the way the dates line up this year we should be looking at a smaller WoW drop compared to last year.
Let's compare to 3DS 2013 when it had the same dates.
3DS vs NSW
Week 48-100k vs 186k
Week 49-122k vs 188k
Week 50-183k vs 236k
Week 51-245k vs 291k
Week 52-209k vs ????
Looking at how it's been trending against 3DS 3rd December it should be 220k or more.

It's more about the number of pre christmas days it has next week (because stores close in japan between christmas and new year). This year has one day more compared to last year.

Yes, that's what I was trying to get across, maybe I worded it poorly.

PS4 actually sold pretty well this week. I knew there was a discount, but they actually did better than I thought they would.
Switch is really killing it both in hardware and software. One thing that becomes painfully obvious to me this week is that I've got to try that Luigi's Mansion game at some point. I never even considered trying any Luigi's Mansion game until now. That fact that it keeps selling well consistently tells me this game is better than I thought. I wouldn't mind trying Fishing Spirits sometime either.

That is really amazing actually. That is back in the NES days, which was Japan's first console. It also hearkens back to a time when Nintendo only had one system on the market. Now they only have one system again, and they finally sweep the top ten again. Very interesting.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

Interesting. It's great to see the switch pulling in great numbers, in many cases, better numbers than the 3ds.
I think next year could be even bigger with a price drop at some point. Do you think theyll drop the price of both the original and lite?
I think they will later on, closer to the holiday season. Unless it is selling at the same pace as 2019, then maybe not.
Thanks for the numbers.

I dont see a price cut happening unless sales start to crater, which is highly unlikely. Lite was introduced as a cheaper alternative for budget gamers so that they wouldnt have to cut the price of the premium model.
The more likely scenario is that we start to see added value bundles with a pack in game. Holiday promotions could see temporary price reductions or the addition of a 2nd game or accessories.

Price point is really going to be the make or break point for the next gen consoles in Japan.
I smell Vita situation in the making for PS5 this time around.
