Just 3 days away from Nintendo's next Earnings Release.

Some of these VERY interesting.

In particular, I've got my eyes on Pikmin 3, Animal Crossing, and Hyrule Warriors.

13. [NSW] Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin – 5,328 / 122,386

25. [PS4] Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin – 2,162 / 73,323

That is a noticeable difference.

At this point, Momotaro is carrying the Switch as much as Ring Fit and Animal Crossing. At least until February when we get a double whammy of Bowser's Fury and Bravely Default II. Then, when Monster Hunter drops, all bets are off.

PS5 rebounded quite nicely, hopefully its a sign of things to come.

How long has it been since Famitsu stopped tracking the Xbox One?

People keep forgetting Olive Town... the game will easily be the best selling new title outside of Bowser's Fury & Monster Hunter Rise this quarter

Not surprising. We all know 3rd-parties sell better on Switch.

Something tells me that this is the year when Switch will outsell 3DS in Japan.

I am quite happy that Sakuna is doing better on the Switch than the PS4. PS4 shouldn't be selling much software anymore, it is a dead system abandoned by Sony.

That said, Switch has double the amount of HW than the PS4. Will be a bit until Sakuna on Switch outsells the PS4 version by double.

Software sales scale a bit with install base, but never linear. A highly successful system will always have lower attach rates for single pieces of software than a less successful system with the same software. Just look at Mario Kart 8. It sold 8.5M on less than 14M WiiUs (>50% attach rate), while it 'only' sells 30M copies to 78M Switch owners (less than 50%).

Pikmin 3 really showing nice legs in Japan

Pikmin 3's only 7 and a half years old, pervert!



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Yep but the Switch's attach ratio for most software has just plain been better than the PS4's for the most part. Compare the #1 games for each and go down the line, #2, #3, #4 and etc.

I'll add RFA and MK8DX to the mix. Can Mario Kart stay ahead? Can RFA catch up on Wii Fit?
