So when do you guys expect the Switch to go below 50k again? Certainly this momentum can't hold up forever.


You can look at Rol's table in this thread.  Every week in 2020 that sold under 50k represented shortages.  (Maybe not week 8...not sure about that.)  As long as Nintendo is able to keep the stock coming, they aren't going to dip below 50k for a good while, maybe a couple years.  If there are any sub 50k weeks sometime in the next couple of years, then those weeks will be due to stock shortages.  Expect over 50k to be the norm for a really good while.

RF sales numbers:
[NDS] Rune Factory 1 - 39k
[NDS] Rune Factory 2 - 56k
[Wii] Rune Factory Frontier - 18k
[NDS] Rune Factory 3 - 44k
[Wii] Rune Factory Oceans - 10k
[PS3] Rune Factory Oceans - 26k
[3DS] Rune Factory 4 - 88k
[NSW] Rune Factory 4 - 37k
[NSW] Rune Factory 5 – 102.853

thanks for the figures! great to see Rune Factory finally picking up, has got tons of content for those who love fantasy simulations. Deserves much more, Switch is the perfect platform for that now with that Animal Crossing audience.  ^ ^



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

So close to 100k for Switch. PS5 still a bit low compared to April-early May numbers. How does Rune Factory 5's opening compare to previous games?

It's the highest launch in the series in front of RF4 on the 3DS at 88k.

Edit: was already answered.



Switch should pass 20 with next week's numbers.



Nice opening for Rune Factory 5, I expected lower after following it on COMG.

Also, Monster Hunter Rise overtakes Momotaro.

Surprising considering the franchise history with Sony.



Fitness Boxing 2 crossed the 100k mark.
It's weird to see Super Mario 3D All-Stars to return to the top 30 now.



Really great sales for Switch. Baseline at 100k is pretty crazy... knowing the revision comes this year and it will most likely have a good lineup for the holiday, i'm pretty sure Switch will beat the record for biggest calendar year sales and maybe FY shipments too.
