Quite the dip for Switch compared to last week but still way ahead YoY. PS5 continues to do well, gaining compared to the PS4 which was in a very slow period at that point (June 2014). If the trend continues (and it most probably will), next week the PS5 deficit should be lower than what is was after launch week.

Clean Sweep for the Switch!
And look at Splatoon 2 rising!!! Splatoon 3 announcement must have boost it

Oof Switch dropped sharper than I had expected, but of course nothing earth shattering since 75k is still great.
PS5 shipments have definitely improved since the end of last year. It'll be interesting to see what the numbers will look like once that stops being the limiting factor.

Something I worked on for a bit...

W8 Total —> 3DS: 1275k vs. NSW 1148k

Hybrid stock is suffering. Hope there is some stockpiling going on for MHR.

Also, the more special editions/bundles Nintendo launches, the less representative Famitsu seems to get for hardware. ACNH and Ring Fit bundles/special editions sold through My Nintendo store resulted in Famitsu severely undertracking hardware units for holiday quarter.  Difference between tracked sell-through and shipments were 770K (vs. 445K in 2019). Even if we account for week 53/week 1, the delta was 455K in 2020 vs 160K in 2019. That's way too large to just be inventory buffer for the second week of January.

Since they just put out the Mario special edition console, I imagine we've got a little bit of the same effect going on right now as well (and are RFA bundles + ACNH special editions/bundles still selling?).

Famitsu don't track Amazon and My Nintendo store.

Famitsu last years top 18M and Nintendo sell 18.8M. 

I don't believe in Japan have 800k Nintendo Switch in the shelves, maybe 300k lite

splatoon 3 hype train let's go

.Great hold for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, almost 100k on 2nd week.

Little Nightmares: Complete Edition - 10.401
Little Nightmares II - 31.991

Good growth for Little Nightmares II so far on the Switch, the game is pretty inexpensive and doesn't have too much competition on the Switch, so I won't be surprised if this one manages to surpass 100K physical - it's holding very well on Amazon.co.uk and faced some shortages in the past two weeks. 

Currently it's Bandai's best selling title in 2021, always very happy to see games like these do well in Japan. 

I went back and looked at the second week, Famitsu, for Mario 3D All Stars. Here is how it compares to 3D World + Bowser's Fury second week

[NSW] Super Mario 3D All-Stars (Nintendo) {2020.09.18} (¥6.480) - 63.803 / 273.939 (-70%)
[NSW] Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Nintendo) {2021.02.12} (¥5.980) - 97.955 / 347.973 (-61%)

There seems to be even more demand for 3D World than for 3D All Stars. In Nintendo's last report they said 3D All Stars shipped 8.32m worldwide so far. Assuming the ratios on Famitsu are indicative of worldwide sales, it looks like 3D World is on track to be another 10m+ seller. Sales so far, at least, are tracking ahead of 3D All Stars.
