They sold 1.3 ish million each in Japan. So I wouldn't call that huge. But... at the same time "never that big" is probably underselling it by a lot, so I retract that.

At any rate, Japan's always been the weakest region for Crash, and recently the series hasn't done that well there, so I don't think doing poorly there will have a big impact on the series' plans. 

I think Switch will do so in 5 weeks already. The release week of both SMT III Nocturne and Pikmin 3 in 4 weeks should be big enough to allow this to happen - if Nintendo provides enough consoles, of course.

Switch to PS4 ratio at 15:1 for the week.

Was there a holiday or something this week, for both Switch and PS4 to rise?

Another high numbers from the Switch! All Nintendo can do this holiday is to stock more

Top 30

NSW 24 (8 third party)
PS4 6 (5 third party)

This week Switch has 8/13 = 62% of third party games.  Switch has had the majority of third party games in the top 30 for about 4 months now.  I don't think this trend is going to stop until the PS5 releases, and even then it may still continue indefinitely.  Third party companies are gradually releasing more games on the Switch and consumers keep favoring Switch games each week.  

I'm sure Animal Crossing is going to win this race in the very long run, but it may take years.  Do you think AC is going to outsell PokeSmash before the end of the year?  Right now it doesn't look like it, but who knows what kind of holiday sales boost it could get?

If it surpassed Pokesmash by end of the year it would mean 7mil retail and 9.5mil-10mil ship+digital.

For your  question probably not but it could be close. 12 weeks left. It would have to do 100k per week so imma go with surpassing smash by its 1 year anniversary.

i think 6.6mil-6.8mil this year retail

Switch Top 10:

TOTAL:10.324.965

• Top 10 games have all surpassed 300K
• By the end of the month, I would expect the Top 8 to all have surpassed 400K
• Only games that can break into the Top 10 are Age of Calamity & Momotarou, both have the potential to surpass 500K
