Top 10

NSW - 8

PS4 - 2



Around the Network

Switch keeping that > 90% marketshare.



Ring Fit is an absolute monster. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes No. 1 next week and a couple more times before AC drops.

TMS already out of the top 10 is disappointing, but not surprising at all.



Switch is up almost 32% in comparison with last year's same week.
but 68k is close to what switch sold last year in week 5. We'll see if the trend of +30% goes on on week 5 2020.
I think it's going to slow down.



Last year Switch had the Pokemon Let's Go bundle restocked in week 5 and 6 which is what caused the bump. Switch won't have that this year so expect it to be flat or down in the coming weeks until Animal Crossing.



Around the Network

Switch comfortably ahead of its 2019 numbers. PS4 waaaaay behind but last year it was benefiting from REMake 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3 releases.



Signature goes here!

Hope it keeps on this level until AC comes. Then definitely it will be better than last year comfortably.



Good to see Ring Fit finally in stock



I think that proves it, Ring Fit is here to stay



Ring Fit does seem like the type of game that people would buy a console for. It's weird to see a game with such low cumulative sales do this well each week. Selling ~40k of it's ~622k total in its roughly 15th week on the market.

40k / 622k => about 6.5% of its overall sales in W4, 2020
1 / 15 => a single week is roughly 6.66~% of its life.

In other words, the sales it achieved in its 15th (-ish) week are above it's average weekly sales value, which I would think is quite a rare thing. Any other games that this holds true for?

Edit: Don't mean to say that 622k is a low sales number; only that it seems low to me relative to how its currently trending.
