Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan Sales Week 46 Media Create/Famitsu/Dengeki - November 12-18, 2018

That's closer to a Nintendo circle than a Pac man...

Brilliant Switch sales, Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee sales will only continue over the holidays. I'm guessing media create doesn't count the digital versions that came with the bundles which I'm sure a significant portion of those 200k Switch units came from.

The most awaited week for the Switch has arrived. With more than 370% increase from last week numbers  (146k+), the Switch has put impressive numbers making this week the biggest week of the year. Comparing from last years' it went up more than 230% (+113k). If this is any indication how the holidays will play for Big Nintendo, it will do great.

Biggest 10 weeks of 2018

# W Sales

7 18 53113

That is massive and absolute domination. Easily over PS4's hw MonHun peak.

Very good sales...for Nintendo. Nothing else to say.

Here is the week 46 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 % Goal AWN (Change)
PS4 17,789 -73,760 1,376,944 68.8% (+0.8) 103,842 (+12.293)
Switch 200,850 -72,223 2,289,338 57.2% (+5.0) 285,110 (+12,037)

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.

Big week as expected for the Switch with Pokemon release + Pokemon/Smash bundles. It actually got closer to its goal than the PS4 did for the first time in like half a year or so, by about 500 units. Both systems' AWN raised by 12k. The race to who can come closest has tightened up considerably.

LOL, I guess I should have just waited a few minutes and posted on here. Like I said in the other thread, I still see the Switch missing its goal by around 800k-1M, unless there are no drops, and the PS4 only missing it by 200K-400k.



Pokemon put in work.

91.3% Nintendo
8.6% Sony
0.1% Microsoft

Is this a new "record"?

I think all the switch has to do really is to double whatever the PS4 does. 

Great Start to a Switchy Christmas.

Next week will probably be between 110 - 150.



Pokemon Let's Go sales are just from 3 days. (Aggregation Period: November 16, 2018 to November 18, 2018 / Sales days: 3 days)
