Thanks mate. 

Yes, it will continue past week 52. I also have something rather special planned for week 53 ... if I manage to do all of that in time.



Just a quick software update



Why are you doing calendar alignment for software sales? That doesn't make any sense. Software sales are a function of total install base, so Switch and 3DS are at a huge disadvantage by only having 10 months worth of sales and a single holiday season, when Wii, PS4, XOne, PS3, DS, X360, and Wii U had 14 months and two holidays.

2 holidays?

I don't know how some count it, but launching a console in november or docember doesn't mean you also jave a holiday. Thats called a launch window. Ehich trumps holodays because most consoles are stock limited at launch and also cost the most they will ever cost....

Any calendar alignments in my figures start from the beginning of first full fiscal year, aka 1st of April (I should've added some asterix to the chart), or the closest date to it, as we're dealing with weekly figures. So it cancels all launch figures up to nearest April, which in case of Switch and 3DS would be 1 month worth of sales and in case of, let's say, PS4 four-ish months. As it's calendar alignment, all of those systems have had equal amount of holiday season sales accounted for. The calculation method is simply the sum of software sales from their first April to the date shown in the attached table.
