Surprisingly Fifa 19 on Switch is up compared to the previous one. Overall decent week.

Yes and no on surprising notion, I would say FIFA 18 did fine in Japan on the switch in the long run, but that was because Nintendo advertised it. This will most likely not receive that level of advertisement in Japan, so I don't expect as big of legs. However It is should still be fine in Japan. 

And that world soccer tournament should have gave it a boost. 

Yes, the world cup fever did help. I wonder how much sales of the FIFA games actually goes down in the long run the yearly series after the world cup. 

This version will definitelly benefict from the larger install base this time around. But yeah it will probably be down in the long run, not so much for the less advertisement from Nintendo IMO but because of the World Cup.

Pretty poor for the Switch SKUs, especially Musou Orochi 3 and valkyria chronicles 4. 4x as much for PS4 version without digital on same day for MO3, while VC4 was a late port but not too late, the PS4 version outsold it 10x+.

Fifa 19 okay at 3x, but still quite a bit. And DBZ pretty poor similar to xenoverse 2, it's going to need legs.

Yeah, Valkyria Chronicles sales have been disappointing all around. I wouldn't be surprised if this spells the end of the franchise, given how Sega originally moved the franchise to the psp due to disappointing sales of the original title.   

Man Sega was so bad at nurturing during that era and they hurt couple of franchises for it (Valkyria Chronciles being the big one), thankfully Yakuza made it out fine.  

Here is the week 39 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 - 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.

Ack, completely forgot to post this chart last week. So much for consistency. Both systems are up week-over-week which is always a good thing. I added a percentage to goal field now since I'm much, much less certain that at least one console will make it to the goal, so tracking how relatively close they are to it in this final quarter will be important.

Ps4 top 3 domination this week! Good sales for orochi, fifa 19 and spiderman. Ps4 back above 20k. Next week pro sales should plummet with the price drop the week after. I wonder if the slim version will drop too.
