Yep, COMG doesnt represent the market nearly as much as they once did.

Well it went up to 106 points in the weekly ranking, is that normal? If not maybe it just wasn't a very preordered title and was bought on day 1 instead?

I don't follow the weekly points usually so I don't know how big of a jump from last day preorders to weekly points is normal.

Yep, the weekly points are what people should be looking at to predict first week sales. Been saying that for quite a long time now. Reason being is that (the opening week's) weekly points encapsulate all pre-order points as well as the sales of the first few days, which is inherently way more predictive than just pre-orders alone.

Very true

Yes that's why i'm not too concerned about Sw/Sh cause the points have been really low for switch games. Like LA got a ration of what 6 lmao ? Pokemon can easily be in the high 2 of ration or even close to 3.

Yay! Luigi!!!

And the bottom of the chart is 8 points...and on its last day with 2 others leaving with it....

Something tells me we're going to be setting some new records for chart lows soon. Possibly even before the end of the year, yikes.
