If it didn't post this week (new game for PS4 and very low suply for Switch), hardly will pass it any time soon, expect if Nintendo ships less than 20k Switch consoles for next week.

Regardless........a 3 and a half year old system shouldnt be that close to a 3 month old system.......not a good sign imho

Actualy system that's around 3 years on market usually have peak sales in that age. You dont need any signs, just take clear fact, and that's that Switch is selling much better than Vita, Wii U and PS4 in same time frame, plus fact that demand is much bigger than Nintendo can currently ship.

Tekken flop.

Is Switch still supply constrained or has demand gone low?

Still supply constrained.

North America is probably getting a bit more supply than before. A bigger amount of consoles will be made available during weeks with big releases, so there's some stockpiling going on.

Going off their 45-50k shipments before MK8D release they are stockpiling around 20k/week right now. If ARMS releases with a similar bump as Splatoon testfire and MK8D then they should ship around 80k that week.

Then they will probably drop back down to the 20k+ baseline. That means they will have around 120k stock when ARMS releases, so that leaves ~40k towads Splatoons launch. With another 4 low weeks that means around 160k-170k shipment for Splatoon 2s launch. Maybe 150k on launch and ~70k second week? After that it should hopefully go back up to the 40k+ baseline. I wonder when bumped up production will finally show.



Switch stays above 20k again! Hopefully it will be the same for next week.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Get it Seiken Densetsu!



Damn Tekken 7 is very low... What a shame considering that it is a great game! :/

Decline has been huge for the Beat 'em up franchise over the last decade in Japan, first Street Fighter 5 and now Tekken 7. Back in the day both series were million sellers in Japan. Times have changed.

At least Tekken 7 is doing good numbers in the west! Bamco should really focus more on the west with the future of the Tekken series and not make us wait 2 freaking years again!

Pretty sure the last couple of Tekken games didn't sell all that well either in Japan.

Low Tekken 7 sales. Think a port to Switch might happen down the line to get Namco to recoup costs.

Poor Tekken. At least the ps4 got a little boost.

Surprised by the sales of the Mana collection.
