Hardware sales

NOTE: Data here is for the past two weeks combined

Last week's thread: Famitsu Sales: Week 31, 2022 (Jul 25 - Jul 31) (vgchartz.com)

Great legs for XC3.
We'll get the separate top 30 tomorrow.
For hardware we might never get separate numbers.

The hardware numbers from last year in the table are also for two weeks combined btw.

Switch is 7.5m from getting the all time record. Unlikely yes, but small possibility? Maybe with a Switch pro? BOTW 2 boost? Possible.. and at its price point that is seriously impressive

Maybe the more likely record is to break PS2's home console record (I am taking out Switch L sales as it's handheld only). That record is 23.2m for PS2 vs 20.7m Switch home consoles. It will probably do it in Q2 of next year unless Splatoon and Pokemon give the Switch a major holidays boost

How much do you think Switch sales will fall in 2023? 2022 will likely sell around 4.75m to 5m, do you expect 4m, 3.5, 3m or sub 3m in 2023?

I'm thinking 4.75mil tops this year.

I think Quarter 3 is going to sell much better than Q2, Q2 famitsu sales were 840k (av 64.6K per week). So far Q3 sales are 508K (av 72.4K per week) after 7 weeks, with an upcoming boost from Splatoon 3 then i expect Q3 to surpass 1m.

I think the same but i'm hoping Poke'mon and Splatoon 3 can push it closer to 5m.

I do think we will see Switch selling around 3m next year - maybe as down as 2.5m. Would take something extraordinary for the switch to sell another 4m... I think the DS managed to do that 4 years in a row with the 5th year just falling short:

https://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_date.php?reg=Japan&ending=Yearly

The Switch will be only the second console to do that but not as dominant as the DS. I think we are seeing signs of slowing in Japan, and that is why I think we will see it sink towards the 2.5m-3m range with market saturation approaching. Only chance of slowing the deceleration is a Switch pro version but with every passing year I think it becomes less likely to happen

With what's coming, I think 5M is a clear possibility this year, and next year I expect something between 3M and 3.5M.

With that, the Switch would be just 2M behind the DS anymore, meaning it still has a shot at overtaking it and becoming the bestselling console ever in Japan.
