Seems a bit too high for me, but it could hit over 400k on some weeks

I don't think so. I think we could potentially see 400k weeks. But 500? The last time any system broke that mark was the DS in Christmas 2005. Almost 14 years ago. And given how much the handheld market has shrunk since the DS/PSP era, I don't think we'll ever see another system reach those levels again.

I didn't check last year's sales when I wrote that. After having a good look at the numbers, I agree that that's too much of a drop, and I didn't take FE:TH into account. So now I rather think it will drop to about 300k, and that pretty much all of it comes from after Obon week (I also expect Nintendo to open preorders only right after Obon week to not loose out sales that week).

350k is possible if FE pushes high enough to compensate for all the "lost" sales until the new model comes out, maybe even more than that. I guess we'll have to wait and see for the results.

It looks like 2019 is going to win over 2018 now .

I like how the Switch randomly posted its third highest weekly sales for the year. I think with Mario Maker, momentum should start building its way up from now till Pokemon. 4m is in sight. I think the last home console to do that was the PS2, though I'm not even sure it did that

Just added Week 28 numbers. No noticeable dip in Switch purchases after the Switch Lite announced. It looks like the standard drop after the release of a new system selling title (Mario Maker 2). Now is when it gets interesting since the next week is when the announcement of the upgraded OG Switch model.

Next two weeks are probably going to be down compared to last year, and then up due to Fire Emblem. The big question will by by how much the newly announced models will affect those sales. I don't expect too much of an effect yet since you can't preorder them yet, but once those preorders start then the sales will dip alot harder imo.

I agree. It won't be too bad in the weeks leading up to Obon week. I think Nintendo might do some deals or discounts on the old OG Switch models just to clear inventory for the new models + Switch Lite. But once Obon week passes and Switch Lite preorders go up. Then we're really gonna see a dip.

45k, so what it gained last week, it's mostly losing again this week

Just posted Week 29 numbers
