So PS4 supply issue is fixed and this is the max extent it can go. Still below Switch, which seems to be around 40k. When is golden week btw?

April 28-May 6.

Labo seems to be doing poorly in the one market I thought it was guaranteed to excel in. I love seeing the strong legs of BOTW, Splatoon 2, Odyssey, Kirby, The Snack World and MK8D.



Here is the week 17 update in terms of the two big consoles in Japan's path to be able to reach the commonly stated (in these sales threads) estimates for 2018 sales (2 mil for PS4, 4 mil for Switch) .

  TWS GD YTD AWN (Change)
PS4 35,009 +528 793,673 34,466 (-16)
Switch 38,752 -50,285 833,403 90,474 (+1437)

TWS - This week's sales
GD - Goal differential, the difference between the average week needed from last week compared to this week's sales
YTD - Units sold in 2018 so far including this week's sales
AWN - Average weekly sales needed to reach the estimate for the console.

Finally the PS4 shortages are done with. Golden Week also looks to be strong for PS4 so it's making up for all those earlier miserable weeks it seems. Switch rose a little bit and will likely get a big boost for Golden Week as well.



What is the current Switch JP total?



What? PS4 and Switch are so close. How can this be? What the flipping flip is this "Commentary powerful professional baseball 2018"?

It seems like PS4 stock issues are done. Switch holding the near 40k. And the legs of Switch games are Amazing! Hoping that 200k for Labo wouldnt be too far now

I guess the stock issues helped Switch get that lead. Didn't know it was that big already

The PS4 got a bump to the baseball game nothing to do with the fake shortage excuse.
