Hardware sales

Last week's thread: Famitsu sales: Week 4, 2022 - (17th Jan - 23rd Jan) (vgchartz.com)

Higher software sales than predicted but way lower hardware sales (switch)

why is this so disappointing for Switch HW lol. But like amazing week for Arceus tho.

Pokémon must be a record first week or at least close to highest 1st week ever in Japan?

EDIT:// Apparently 2nd best selling Switch title behind AC according to this tweet https://twitter.com/gibbogame/status/1489150071992041474?s=21

Seeing that Nintendo lowered their FY forecast by 1m, I think the chip shortage is hitting them quite hard and we shouldn't be expecting big weeks until that's resolved.

Good sales for Arceus though!

Those are great sales for pkmn, totally deserved. It really feels like a fresh experience, something I was looking for quite a time. Hopefully they will continue this series, maybe get the 2nd one in the switch and the 3rd in the next gen. Legends Mew and serebii…. A man can dream.

Does anyone have any info on the supply situation for the switch?

Lower hardware sales compared to last year despite a new Pokemon. Looks like a saturation point is happening. I still think the Switch doesn't hit the DS/ps2 in sales. It will cool around 130 million (or so). Which isn't a jab, being 3rd all time is nothing but superb.

Since it's at 103.5 at this point, and still have at least 3 years to go, you think the sales will fall of a cliff ?

Just a small hardware boost for Switch. Switch's numbers should stay below last year's numbers until the Splatoon 3 launch.

I think we can say that the OLED model doesn't push any noteworthy additional sales in Japan. It's just for the people who wanted to buy a regular model anyway, so the numbers for the regular model drop apparently. Just in the case there aren't any supply issues for any model, but as far as we know there aren't any shortages currently in Japan.

Depends on what you mean by a cliff.  I just think it will cool off and rightfully so.  I also expect a switch 2 next year.  For sure I could be completely wrong.
