The thread is already weird because some people are saying the switch beat it's performance same period as last year (@mandalore, @xMetroid), others (@noshten) are predicting a cliff based on the numbers, with big votes.

I don't see the problem



Around the Network

Arceus and ER on PS4 both have a solid hold this week. Triangle Strategy and GT7 are falling fast.

Switch hardware still chugging along. It's probably not going to compare well to last year once MH Rise week hits, but then again I wonder how the current year will compare to 2021 when we get stuff like Switch Sports, Splatoon 3, etc....

Minecraft Keeps closing the gap on Momotaro. Can it surpass it and become the best selling 3rd party game on switch?   



Honestly expected lower from Chocobo given its reception and amazon rankings.

To be honest, Switch performs better than I have expected. Kudos! I hope that OLED model stock sustains.

Two more weeks until Kirby vs. Monster Hunter Rise battle. I'm not sure if it will even be a battle. MHR sold 267k consoles. I wouldn't be surprised if Kirby isn't able to push any hardware at all, so I expect Switch below 150k in Kirbys first week at the end of March.

Yeah, most of April will probably be a bit rough in comparison to last year until the last week when Switch Sports hits, which should result in some very respectable sales throughout May, followed by Strikers in June.

However, once Splatoon 3 arrives in July or August, I would expect almost every week to be up YoY (particularly throughout September) until week 41 when the OLED launched last year.

Do you know sarcasm?



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Powerful numbers. The Switch is like the caracal, not as powerful as some of its competition, but long legs and a more successful species, and can it ever jump!



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Disappointed with Chocobo GP. The original on PS1 was really fun.



Switch outselling 2017, 18, 19, and 20 in year 6 thus far. Kinda crazy. Animal Crossing coming for that wig though, still impressive
