Hope Nintendo has enough stock to be above 120k the rest of the year !

+250k each week of December !

This would lead to even still beating 2021. I really do not think this will happen. The probability for that should be almost 0%.

Japanese Nintendo Switch shipments will be way up in FYQ2 from the 720k shipped last quarter. Famitsu sales are looking like 1.2m for the quarter and FYQ2 shipments are usually around 200k higher than famitsu sales (this differs for other quarters), so we could be seeing a 1.4m shipment for Japan. If all other regions are flat then FYQ2 global could be 4.1m, however Other should be 300k higher due to really low shipments last quarter so i think 4.4m is possible.

Wonder how many more times That can happen.

I don't get it. Last week ps5 was selling 2k but now with the price hike it sold almost 5 times more this week

PS5 was always sold for less than it's true worth if we think about it, that's why it was always sold out

When enough people can get their hands on PS5 and sales finally decrease I can see Sony decreasing the price back to the launch, not before 2024 though 

It's always selling out. They just shipped more.

PS5 - 3

Like I predicted last year we are heading for another 5M+ year of hardware for the Switch - https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9330650

Also Splatoon 3 is likely to hit 4M on Famitsu like I thought - https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9350592

"Anybody worried about YoY comparisons forgets about what an impact a game like Splatoon 3 combined with the rest of the titles I've over-viewed can do in terms of generating additional demand in the country - for new buyers or players looking to upgrade to OLED or whatever other revisions or updates Nintendo decide to go with for 2022. If things are bad they could always drop the price as well, prompting additional short term demand and higher sales in the holidays.

In the end I expect 2022 to land above 2019 and maybe even challenge 2021 - it all depends on Splatoon 3 mainly but Arceus, Breath of the Wild sequel, revisions, price-cuts could also be factors. In anycase an interesting year ahead is in store. I personally expect Splatoon 3 to manage 4 million physical this year alone - and this will surely impact hardware sales as the craze around the game reaches a boiling point.

HFW is mostly bundled right now.
