Around the Network

Oof, those are some big drops from last week all-around. But it's to be expected with the new tax laws I suppose. Was hoping Switch could stay over 100k, at least.



Switch: SW-3707-5131-3911
XBox: Kenjabish

The OG Switch is still selling better than the Lite. Although I would guess that a fair amount of those are still DQ XI bundles. Either way, 89k Switchs sold in a week is nothing to complain about.



Excellent Switch sales considering the tax, but it seems the market is basically dead in Japan.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Yuck, those are some truly depressing numbers all around. Hopefully this isn't permanent and the Japanese market can recover.
At least Switch maintains a massive lead, at more than 7:1 over its nearest competitor, PS4.

Anemic sales week...



Switch sales are decent for sure, but, I really thought the lite would be selling better then this in all honesty. Market looked really slow overall.



Ouch. Steep drops all around. And this close to the holiday season.



Can someone fill me in on this new tax business?



Signature goes here!

And the difference will only grow with Pokemon. We're looking at 1m+ YoY increases. Will be tough to beat it out in the holidays though unless the price point for Lite makes a major difference
