It would make sense that sales down because of the upcoming new model. It’ll more than make up for it.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Around the Network

In Japan, some people reported shortage trend of Switch. Now, Normal Switch is out of stock in Amazon.co.jp, Yodobashi.com, Yamada DenkiWEB.com and Bic Camera.com.



If you need something about Japanese market from the perspective of Japanese, please contact me.

Momotaro had a big drop this week and it "only" sold 56k. Man, that's still nuts. Game seems to have legs like Animal Crossing.



Demand for NS just keeps going up despite this normally being a quiet time of year.

Who would've thought that Momotaro is a system seller. The one more expected to sell system (MonHun) is yet to come.

This isn't normally a quiet time of the year though. It is usually the 2nd best quarter of the year, and sometimes the best.



Momotaro holding strong alongside Nintendo's biggest evergreens, unreal performance. I actually wonder now if it can maybe even give Monster Hunter a run for its money in the long term for the third party throne on Switch in Japan.



After Momotaro some Japanese companies really need to do their research better on what the Japanese people want and what console they are mainly on. This type of audience and market is what Level 5 should start making games for. And the fact it is probably also inexpensive to make which is another great thing.



Pocky Lover Boy!

Nintendo's highest performance with the Switch is around 3m in this quarter in fact if we look back over prior years numbers normally the second best quarter of the year is often Jul-Sept (Q2 in FY).
