Hardware sales

Last week's thread: Famitsu sales: Week 3, 2022 - (10th Jan - 16th Jan) (vgchartz.com)

Good PS5 and XBS stock. Looks like Switch will be down at least 30 % in Japan this year. Maybe the second half of the year will look a bit better with Splatoon 3 and Zelda. The OLED model doesn't seem to be the big savior.

Let's see next week =)

PS5 up on last year to date x2, XBox Series up on last year to date x7.

OLED is having some stock problems, we can’t gauge OLED yet imo. As for “least” 30% down YoY I disagree hard with. 1 your judging based off of 2021, when 2021 had a huge Q1. So YoY will look lopsided if you only look at Q1 comparison.

30% down at minimum is roughly 3.9mil…. And that’s your ceiling. Problem is it’s tracking ahead of 2018/2019 which did 3.5mil and 4.4mil respectively. 30% is the most it’ll go down, this year will be between 4mil and 5mil

2021 had an abnormally big January that was disproportionate to the rest of the year, so being 30% down in January will not mean it will be down 30% for the whole year.

People keep expecting Switch to outdo DS WW and I don’t understand the logic but sure..

The overall Q1 comp with '21 is going to be really tough this year.  Not only was January really big last year, but March had Monster Hunter Rise which also pushed a LOT of hardware.  We'll see what effect Pokemon has next week, but it's possible this Q1 will end up more than 30% lower than last year based on those comps.

Wrong thread? I wonder who your trying to refer to hear as we are talking about Japanese sales.

If your talking about me, what I said is true and has nothing to do with DS even in japan. Sales being down 30% YoY in a month doesn’t mean 30% down for the year nor saturation. I’ll show you some facts before we talk anything else 

Good numbers for the Switch, and Mario Party is extremely stable compared to the rest of the top 10, with a less than 10% drop.
