Bad drop for Switch but it makes sense due to low stock.



Around the Network

Pretty good week of HW. SW pretty bad though.

Switch doing about the same as PS4, Vita, Wii U.

PS4 up YoY, Vita fairly steady but down YoY.

3DS virtually the same. PS3, Wii U, XB1 dead.

Other consoles second week ( half of them being at thé same périod and supply limited reports )

Wii: 85.439 / 435.797
3DS: 209.623 / 584.387( same period and supply limited )
PSV: 72.479 / 397.338 ( same period and supply limited )
Wii U: 126.916 / 435.058 ( supply limited )
PS4: 65.685 / 374.839 ( same period and supply limited )
Switch: 61.998 / 391.150

Damn, quite the drop for the Switch.  More in line with the PS4 than its predecessors, both HH and HC.  Anyone know the real stock situation in Japan?

The thing is the comparisons isnt really a biggie atm. I mean wiiu above ps4. And vita above switch/ps4.

 

That said situation is switch is impossible to find. Hiska on gaf posted a list (any1 want to find it) of the situation (for retailers, like when they are getting stock)

I don't see the point of any comments on Switch sales if it's indeed sold out. What are they supposed to sell anyway when shipments are lower than those of 3ds?

Anyway, software sales, other than Zelda and Horizon aren't all that great. Hope we get to see 3ds mega sales again. Those were the days (psp, too, had some fantastic weeks)

As m'y post Said, most consoles were sold out for their second week, but that doesnt change thé fact that is always thé same that first week > second week> Third week> fourth week > etc until the week of à Big release( Mario kart here) and manufacturers know that.

That was true for 3DS, ps4, Vita, all thé consoles from february/march( less true for WiiU for thé Third/fourth week thanks to Christmas ) and that will bé true for Switch.

 

They give stock according to thé demand, so when you kkow thé market After years of looking at launches, you know that if they gave this much its Because they knew it wouldnt have sold much more, better to give just enough that to give Bad impression that there are a lot of stock left for thé first weeks

Do they, though? Sony sure didn't with ps4 being sold out for months. Ninty could possibly be facing similar problems especially considering how much stock they allocated in places like Europe where it even beat the ps4 (in some countries). I think they don't have much stock in Japan because of that.

I can't wait to see how well it does, especially how much it affects hardware sales.
