This is pretty what happens when a single system has a whole region for itself :)

the fact that there are still Japanese 3rd party devs making exclusive games on the PS4 and PS5 is just laughable.

Capcom reports have a 2m estimate on MHU for Switch. One port of one port. 

Capcom MH left millions in one stupid decision.

elaborate on why you think so? i don't think there is much evidence to say that this is true quite yet.

besides globally they are only slightly abouve ps4

I just feel like at the moment they're like "we sell like crack without even trying, so why bother actually communicating with our fans or releasing new games?"

There is 2 directs coming this month, just patience. I agreed before, but seeing Halo getting delayed, a LAUNCH title, you can feel the impact of the quarantine in this. They have the Mario collection probably in September still. I know we didn't get much info but it's not only because they are selling out, but mostly cause they probably weren't sure of their own release schedule. Mind you, we still don't really know much about next gen either and they are releasing in like 3 months.

Have to say for the sales tho, incredible performance for the Switch. Kinda scary for anyone to try and launch a system in this environment.

The moneyhat needs be HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



This week Ring Fit Adventure has surpassed 800K sales for 2020 on Famitsu. Game is still sold out and reselling for 75% more on Amazon.co.jp, even with a big shipment next week we are still nowhere near meeting demand. The best selling game in its second year on the Switch Splatoon 2 had sold 791K at the same time in 2018, Splatoon 2 never faced such shortages outside of it's launch and mainly due to the lack of Switch stock. Splatoon 2 finished 2018 with 1.12M something Ring Fit won't have any issues surpassing by the end of this quarter with the biggest hardware weeks still to come. 

Wii Fit is the target with it's 3.56M sales in Japan, maybe by the end of 2021 if Nintendo doesn't launch a sequel for Ring Fit we would see it surpass Wii Fit's total in Japan.

I did check upon Wii Fit too and then saw your comment. And yes, by end of the year Ring Fit should already break the 2M mark, and at the speed it's running, it should pass 3M before the end of 2021.



Dear god those Switch, AC, RFA numbers! AC is just simply otherworldly, wonder if its gonna be doing like 300k a week leading up to christmas.

Ring Fit is slowly turning into Wii Fit. Hope Nintendo is planning on making more Ring Fit games, it'd be super stupid to not turn this into a series on the Switch and sell like 30 million RF games globally on Switch.

I'm starting to think maybe Nintendo has indeed massively increased hardware production and will be putting out perhaps close to 30 million systems this calendar year if they can afford to put 173k Switches on shelves in Japan in some week in August when no game launched.

Or at least some DLC. Don't know what else they can do with that ring other than fitness games, so why not simply make it DLC?
