Last week was the Switch's strongest week 7 ever and this week is it's strongest week 8 ever.

Once again, thanks to Hiska-kun from Installbase for these graphs.

Nice chart.

I expect Switch 2022 will go something like this:

5mil is a reasonable expectation.

So it's in line with the UK decrease in sales. Thanks

Horizon Forbidden West opened higher on PS4 but the PS5 version will probably stay in the charts longer and sell more in the long run.

PS5 SKU for Horizon FW is getting pretty close to the PS4 SKU. It will be interesting to see if this is the new normal for this year for the next few releases.

Also gotta say, if someone had told me a year ago that the next big Warriors title after Age of Calamity would be Touken Ranbu Warriors, I would have said, "What the hell is a Touken Ranbu Warrior?"



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

Master Thread, Game of the Year/Decade
Switch Will Be #1 All Time
Zelda Will Outsell Mario (Achieved)
How Much Will MH Rise sell?
My Bet With Metallox

Switch coming in with a more than good week for the expectations were prolly. Combo of Pokémon Arceus and Touko game helped most likely.

Also a big week for the PS5 which reaches similar numbers to last year with arguably it's biggest release this financial quarter. PS4 physical sales still above the PS5 version though.

In Japan GT7 should be bigger

It actually faired better than the the UK decrease, but bare in mind the UK had a major storm last weekend (and probably has a higher digital share)
