So mhw just become the best selling game in japan again this gen. It did around 300k this week so total should be well over 4 million including digital.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is the best-selling game of the gen with 5.1 million at retail alone.

Damn u wasn't expecting the Switch to keep it that high for this week... idk if people don't care about the Lite as much as we thought or if it will really be that big. It's rare that consoles do these kind of numbers before a new version comes out. I guess this time it's different since they don't really give the same experience. People really wanted a better battery life it seems

Hopefully this means that there will be two different audiences hitting when the lite comes out. First week will be big, atleast 150k



Decent start for MH. I wanna see what it did digitally.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

3ds isnt this gen. Switch has replaced it. Ps4, xbox one and switch are current gen

I think the Lite will still be big, it's just that the Mariko base revision has more appeal than we perhaps realized. A lot of people seemed to have put off getting a Switch throughout August and waited for the updated version. What we're seeing this week and last are delayed purchases that otherwise would've fallen in the weeks prior.

What a moronic reason. 3DS is 8th gen regardless of Switch.

So is 3ds in the same gen as PS3/360/Wii?



Switch or no Switch, the 3DS is a current gen system. Every bit as much as the PS4 and Xbox One.

3DS and PS4 are the same generation.



Nice hold for the Switch. Week 38 will become very interesting
