Another smashing week for the Switch

I didn't knew you were still active, would you kindly make Japan 'releases' threads like you did with the Wii?






Great hold for Switch after Smash Bros week, next week should be strongest week ever for Switch (more than 300k), PS4 has good sales thanks to great deal, also YTD Switch sold almost twice more than PS4.

But what's really is impressive are legs of Switch games:

01./01. [NSW] Super Smash Bros. Ultimate # (Nintendo) {2018.12.07} (¥7.200) - 406.617 / 1.627.152 (-67%)
04./02. [NSW] Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! / Let's Go, Eevee! # (Pokemon Co.) {2018.11.16} (¥5.980) - 108.773 / 1.121.020 (+16%)
05./03. [NSW] Super Mario Party # (Nintendo) {2018.10.05} (¥5.980) - 97.529 / 587.295 (+40%)
06./04. [NSW] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo) {2017.04.28} (¥5.980) - 29.422 / 1.911.174 (+40%)

09./09. [NSW] Super Mario Odyssey # (Nintendo) {2017.10.27} (¥5.980) - 14.417 / 1.880.842 (+50%)
10./10. [NSW] The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild # (Nintendo) {2017.03.03} (¥6.980) - 13.670 / 1.195.951 (+43%)
11./12. [NSW] Kirby Star Allies (Nintendo) {2018.03.16} (¥5.980) - 12.027 / 670.296 (+57%)
14./17. [NSW] Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! (Bandai Namco Games) {2018.07.19} (¥6.100) - 8.063 / 244.283 (+58%)

Incredible!



Smashing numbers continue to replicate from last week's. This week the Switch is 9 units less than lasts' and PS4 move more than 7k+ units. Comparing the numbers from last year the switch moved 60k+ while the PS4 18k+. Next week is the highest of the year. Probably switch numbers might go 300k+. With last week numbers the baseline for Switch is 40016 and PS4 17688

Also Switch is passing Wii numbers in same time period in 2 weeks.

Positive:
Switch Sales
PS4 Sales
Good start to new IP Judge Eyes.
Good boost for a lot of titles on the top 20. Special note for Mario Party that seems to be cruising on upwards.

Meh/Bad:
God Eater 3 is less than 50% previous main entry. I don't even think it can count on the west like some titles that did not perform as well as comparable past titles (See Final Fantasy, Pokemon Let's Go). So will be interesting if this title just now is put to rest. Maybe Asia will give it enough love.



 

BOTW to pass the 1.2m mark.



Holy Mario party! Check out those legs. Great sales for Switch and its impressive software library.

It's crazy how good Wii numbers were for the first two years in Japan before falling apart. Switch will definitely pass it
