Great work as usual Kristof

Is it just me, or is the software of the Switch nailed to those 3.18 games/console? Feels a bit weird not seing it move like the others.

I’m not too sure, home consoles usually have a better attach ratio than handhelds but with the switch, it goes both ways I’d say. Only time will tell.

It looks like it. Mind you, the software figures are 6 weeks behind hardware. Obviously, the STR is based on the corresponding week.

Looks like Switch can keep up with the PS4 so far this year without much of heavy hitters released yet. I wonder how it will be starting July, when also more and bigger 3rd party titles start coming to the Switch

* it looks like some Switch adjustments have been made between 31/03 and 12/05 (around -100k), but I can't find them neither in weekly sales figures nor in CGI's posts. I guess I'm going to have to wait until weekly sales are updated.

160k is a huge drop...the Switch might be in danger of averaging at last years numbers which wouldn't be ideal as they would need to severely overperform in the holiday season to meet their higher fiscal prediction. Average 200k would be alright, but that is not happening here it seems. It was happening just before the end of last fiscal, however.

It's mostly due to a pretty dry season concerning high profile releases. 4 updated Wii U re-releases (Bayonetta 1+2, Hyrule Warriors and DK:TF), 2 Labo which seriously ain't for everybody, a relatively meh Kirby in terms of ratings. In other words not much to set the sales on fire.

But this won't be like this for long. In June the Switch will certainly pick up steam, and not just because of E3. Mario Tennis Aces on the 22nd and the following week Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy (yes, the release got moved forward by 2 weeks), Ys VIII and Wolfenstein 2 all in one week. Other titles like BlazBlue, Sushi Striker , The Banner Saga 2 and Lego The Incredibles will also help keeping the baseline well above last year's numbers.

meh i don't see nothing but old ports and mario tennis, even worse those old ports are on ps4, which has a huge userbase. the list above seems like much stronger in terms of moving hardware.
