MHW still #1 on amazon Japan. Surely its days are numbered.

$2 discount on Neon Switch is doing wonders!!!



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

More than 10 days to go and Kirby is charting so high already .... this game might actually beat some FW record for the Kirby franchise :)

I hope so ! The game looks really incredible.

Ding Dongs are delicious.

I know right, they kill at 60%, even 40% with rage!

...Oh wait, wrong game. :D

This week's mediacreate numbers should be a relatively accurate reflection of the Switch's baseline. It was available on Amazon virtually throughout the reference period.

That doesn't mean anything tbh. It can be in stock at amazon but out of stock in many stores. A lot of people aren't buying online.

True.....but I think one has to make the logical assumption that if those people are really desperate about buying the switch (read baseline buyers) and couldn't get it elsewhere, they would know somebody, who would know somebody, who would in turn know another person who was aware that it was available on Amazon.

I would hold on to my opinion that whatever we get this week would be a pretty accurate reflection of the switch baseline. I would also have more confidence in it as the baseline if it only slightly deviates from the past 2 weeks's (that I've been aware of scarcity on Amazon) results in either direction. If it is below the 40k trend, then the switch baseline is about 35k, if it is significantly higher, then the baseline is northwards of 40k and yet to find a true level.

Even having partial stock issues will effect numbers. It's like when people were playing down Switch stock issues in the US because it can be bought elsewhere but clearly sales numbers never reached their full potential.

Sure. I will be going by the consistency on numbers we've see in the past 2 weeks of known scarcity on Amazon and this coming results week of known availability on Amazon.

Other things being equal I can make some deductions from that as to whether the switch has found its baseline or not.
