That's exactly what I thought. But dear god that AC hold. 3 weeks in a row right around 290k. Never seen anything like that. 4 million physical sold by next week! just nuts. Think this will be the best selling game ever in japan.

Ring Fit in stock clearly! That game is gonna have legzzz

And Switch finally back in stock immediately shoots up to over 100k. Just crazy numbers. Lot of pent up demand for AC and Switch in general.

Cool to see that Trials of Mana got a solid joint launch of 150k copies.

Even stock issues (and FFVII Remake) could not stop the Switch from remaining the most wanted console in the Japanese market. Hope the stock issues will not be too bad, at least, for the next couple of weeks.

Animal Crossing New Horizons is a certified beast in Japan. Especially against stiff competition during the last month. When will we something like this again?

Also, great that the Trials of Mana remake had a solid first week. Goes to show that there are benefits of having a Switch version, even alongside a PS4 version. Developers should, at this point, at least consider planning indies/A/AA games for the Switch, even if they initially planned for PS4 releases. There's no use in ignoring the ever increasing install base of the Switch. Hell, this should have been the case back in 2019.

Holy fuck! Only -1% for Animal Crossing! Will this the the best selling home console game?

Well the USA has supply issues now.  One can get Switch lite but even those are out in some colors.  Hard to find regular Switches here now due to everyone gobbling them up for quarantine.  Basically when the regular Switches hit the stores they are gone.  Friend said people are even lining up for them in Florida at Target or wherever in morning when they hear shipment is coming in.

1% decline. What a beast!

I’m predicting AC sales in Q2 will be higher than Q1 so end of June it’ll end up north of 7mil

Lmao such a pessimistic question.

a better question would be can it outsell the highest selling game ever in japan (Pokémon RG 8.22mil) by over 40%

The lite has always sold less than the full model since it launched.  The only reason that it is selling more at this time is due to the full model being more scarce due to supply limitations, and people would clearly rather settle for a lite than not play Switch games at all.

Gotta look at all the facts, and not just what is convenient.

My updated prediction


Q2
W1 423k
W2 293k
W3 286k
W4 284k
W5 375k (GW)
W6 475k (GW part 2)
W7 95k
W8 85k
W9 75k
W10 75k
W11 65k
W12 65k
W13 65k

Total 2660k+

Retail 5400k shipment /1600k digital (7mil+)

FF7R had a 90% drop because of stock issues considering it sold 96% of its initial shipment. It sold nearly 1m in its first week(counting digital sales) because of that. It's safe to say it has already outsold FF15's lifetime sales(physical +digital) in Japan.
