WTF does that have anything to do with Japanese sales?

If you had actually read the thread, you'd see that I was facing accusations of bias. I felt the need to confess as I do now as of today own a Sony console. Reading the thread helps derive context.

Now, what does your post have anything to do with this thread?

I don't think this revelation will make any noteworthy difference.

Oh I completely agree. Math, logic, and reason will still be the backbone for my analysis. It's just before I could just say "I'm a PC gamer", and I don't like lying, as it's much easier to state the truth.

Simple you still could be lying

I doubt most of them are fans of COD, more like Battle Royale junkies. It's clear, the massive appeal of this title is due solely to this mode.

Best ?! How did the others fare during their first week ?

I guess it would now sound optimistic to think Pokémon is going to be the best selling FW Nintendo title in Europe. Might as well push a lot of hardware too :3

Just scroll down inside the spanish article and you see the numbers of the other big 3 of the Switch.

I know that US sucks in foreign languages but come on...

"Sumando las cuatro ediciones del juego, Pokémon Let's Go ha conseguido 64.000 unidades vendidas en sus primeros días en España, superando las 55.000 de Super Mario Odyssey, las 44.000 de Zelda: Breath of the Wild y las 36.000 de Mario Kart 8 Deluxe."

I was going to make a thread on this for everyone to predict the rest of the year (weekly in Japan)

I have read the thread, Meg. And to no surprise you're insufferable as always. 

Back on topic: Switch is killing it.

Oh wow i wasn't expecting 200k
Can Switch break the 400k WW ?
It's impressive seeing how much let's go wasn't even a big thing tho, like i think Gen 8 next year + Detective Pikachu movie will ramp up too.
Let's go is good but it's still a remake with Go elements.

Do it! Gives me more time to refine my predictions.

NS: 120k, 145k, 240k, 200k, 295k, 250k = 1.25m would end just above 3.5 mil for the calendar year.

PS4: 20k, 25k, 30k, 25k, 40k, 30k = 170k would end up just above 1.5 mil for the calendar year.

Please do not make it personal. Again I disagree with megiddo on a number of subjects and if one does they should criticize him for that, but nothing he has said recently is worth ill contempt.

I'm actually more pessimistic on next weeks numbers, I can see going down to 100k, but the following weeks I am more positive than you. I can personally see it doing close to 3.6 million.

Also your numbers I think earlier correct I think, for some reason I was treating it as 7 weeks remaining. 200,000 is close to what it needs every week to get to 3.5.
