Well there's the cliff!
Anyone have regional breakdown?

More evidence the 20 million is too optimistic. People were actually expecting vgchartz to be undertracking it's sales even in the last couple of weekly sales topics.

Yea i can't wait till the holiday, so we can stop hearing  about how switch will dominate the holidays because of 2 games, same thing happened last year with mario odyssey, people were sure switch would dominate the holidays it never happened.

Software looking good! Hardware not bad either. Hopefully it picks up more this quarter and wow VGC tracking for the Switch looking pretty good.

Found it. Americas down, which most of us expected. But weird that Japan is down (it was up by 30k in Media Create, so they probably overshipped last quarter. Which makes sense they would do that, to show high results for last's FY)

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

There usually should should be over 2+ million plus in transit or in stores shelves, 1.5 is a really low number. anyway here is the regional break down.

 

japan 50

americas 67

europe/ROTW 70

it seems  europe is over tracked here unless switch is selling nothing in the ROTW.

Again VGC HW tracking for the Switch still looks good. Even if it is SLIGHTLY over tracked. Not bad at all.

Guess people can’t have different tastes on what game they want to play.

Though I’m with you with ARMS’ success. I’m happy for Yabuki getting success outside of Mario Kart.

I can't wait for the holidays either. Cause if the Switch doesn't fall off a cliff, I want to see the magnificent spin.

 This should be a firm lesson to Nintendo, though; they need to work to make sure their system-sellers land more consistently throughout the year.

I dont understand this type of reasoning, "oh this should be a lesson". If the titles arent ready, they simply arent ready. Should they have just released gimped versions of titles that needed a gazillion  patches instead?
