Big week for xbox, over 300k LT now. Wonder if it can clear 400k this year, should be a close one.

It should. It needs to average about 4.8k for the rest of the year. Seeing this week at 9.82k and last at 4.35k it shouldn't be that hard with the holidays coming and production increasing.

edit: here is the last 5 weeks. note that 32 and 33 were reported together and divided by 2

I think you're off on your math.  There are 18 weeks to go this year and it needs 99k more to pass 400k.  That averages out to 5.5k/week.

I still think at this rate XBox can do it, but it needs a little bit more per week than you think.

Fair enough.

Xenoblade 2 is over 287k in Japan, so I was expecting higher numbers from Xenoblade 3 before it drops out of the top 10. I'm sure digital is much higher, but physical is still lower than I expected.

Xenoblade 2 Sold 149.390 physical copies on it's first month, Xenoblade 3 already surpassed that in 3 Weeks with 158.971 and even has a bigger Digital Ratio, so we should be at over 200.000 by now, Excellent! numbers in my opinion ;)

It's way higher than 200k. I already said that before, it's digital ratio because of vouchers has to be at over 60%. XCDE had a digital ratio of over 50% while being 2k yen cheaper. Astral Chain, which went for the same price had a digital ratio of over 60%, maybe even 65% depending on physical sellthrough. Even XC2 had 40% digital before vouchers. All based off of Nintendo's shipment numbers. On top of that the Special Edition is not counted here, which in XCDE's case had likely a quite large share of the sales if Comg is anything to go by there.

2022 lead over 2019 is 902K, from now on that lead will decline. Is it a big enough lead to stay ahead come the end of the year? I think so. i expect 2019 to only take out around 600k of that lead.

Incorrect, the 902k will turn into over 1000k before nsw lite launch, quote me on this by end of W37

Edit: In case you didn't know, splat3 oled edition releases this week. And splat3 releases the week before lite launch (W37)

Agreed.

How do you think last quarter will do? W39-W52?

Agreed.

How do you think last quarter will do? W39-W52?

Personally  I think Oct/Nov (2022) could have better weeks outside of 2021 OLED launch and certain week spikes but holiday will be maybe 10% lower overall than last year. Safe bet is 4.5mil by now ears end but I'm gonna go with 4.8mil



A perfect score for the Switch this week, before we see a plethora of PS4 and PS5 games appear next week.

1m lead by week 37 would be ~3m. So 1.5m-1.8m for the rest would be on par with 2021. I am not sure how the Switch will do this year, but the trend for the holidays has been down lately.

4m was my prediction long ago, but that is looking like the minimum atm.



That's another 30/30 week for Switch. How many times is that this year? 6? I've lost count.
