Ouch. This is the first week that Switch is below 50k in this year. That came a bit unexpected. Splatoon 3 hype train is clearly over, despite the game is still on #1.

Splat3 hype train over because of shortages? It sold 97k, look at hardware, you said it yourself, lowest week of the year and by a good amount. Nsw didn't drop like this for no reason, especially with consistent slow weeks of 55k-65k all year

Most consoles would be happy if they had only one game passing that threshold, Switch could end up with about half a dozen managing that, crazy!

Agreed.  I think the DS has about 5 so Switch could be the new 5 million seller Japan leader.

It will be no doubt. Splat3/Splat2/SSBU/MK8D/SWSH/SV is 6. Also potential ones could be minecraft/TotK imo

I wonder how long into 2023 it'll take for the Switch's baseline to reach this level.

Switch out of stock!!

I think Switch being down has more to do with people waiting for Pokémon, coupled with Splatoon 3 boost wearing off, than shortages considering all Switch SKU's are down from last week.

All models are either out of stock or almost out of stock at various retailers and reseller prices have gone up. That all skus are down means that all are in short supply.

It is amazing performance that it took this long. Last year was a few weeks earlier and all other years were much earlier.

On another note MK8 closing in on SSBU. Will it surpass it this year or a few months into the next?

Looks like the new Dragon Ball bombed hard.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will hit 5 million in a couple weeks.

I wonder if next year will finally be the year that PS5 software will have staying power on the Japanese weekly charts? It’s crazy that the Switch has maintained at least 2/3’s of the weekly software charts for so long.

How will do this?  Scalped consoles abroad, the best performance in services games than retail games, ludicrous low physical games performance?
