Forums - Sales Discussion - Famitsu Sales: Week 2, 2021 (Jan 04 - Jan 10)

Tagged games:

I will not be surprised if 2021 Switch in the first 3 months (Jan,Feb,March) is up YOY since those months in 2020 were pretty average before the Pandemic and Animal Crossing hit. The 2021 sales numbers after March will definitely determine whether 2021 will be its peak or whether Switch sales will begin declining.

Good way to continue this year ! It'll cetainly need the early lead for when we arrive in March ...

March has MonHun, so I still believe Switch can keep up with last year. But later the year this will start to look differently.

I haven't been keeping an eye on sales long enough to know how much of impact MonHun has on sales, how large is the spike and how long is it sustained are really my only question.

Edit:I just looked at monster hunter 4's release on the 3DS, quite a difference, and it lasted a while.

If NSW 2021 keeps up with NSW 2020 this quarter that would be insane. I’m still seeing 1300k-1500k. Hopefully it does get close. ACNH did 680k hardware in 2 weeks

March has Monster Hunter and April gets the new Pokémon Snap.

That 2020 momentum is rolling on into 2021 and this time there's no early year drought to wear it out with the likes of Monster Hunter Rise, Bravely Default II, 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and Pokemon Snap in just the first 4 months of the year.

There's always that one PS4 game preventing clean sweeps. In a way it's kinda funny the PS4 is consistently getting 1 now.

I know, I just find it a bit funny how consistent it's becoming that only one non-Switch game is getting into the top 30.
