If Advanced V.G. charts next week with at least 5k+ sales, I promise to create a thread filled with Nintendo Switch love.

Definitely the lowest week in terms of total console sales in a long time with only 32,433 units sold, surpassing the sales between April 14 to April 20 2025 which was 33,006.

Both the Switch and PS5 with new lows for the year. That's fine for the former but the latter is starting to get dangerously low considering it's supposed to last another 2-3 years.

Am I missing something or is this just completely wrong? Looking at the weekly chart index shows the 3DS way above these numbers for those weeks and actually quite similar to how the Switch is doing currently.

NS - 27
PS5 - 3

Yep they are wrong. Here are the weeks before and after the successor released for the 3DS and DS:

Or in other words both consoles don't drop to their new base lines (around 15k and 8-9k respectively) until about 2 months after the launch of the successor.

Edit: Switch added. I wasn't sure if I had to add the week ending Jan 4th, since it's week included in the last year according to VGChartz (because of aligning with NPD) but it's numbers are similar to the first week of 3DS and DS for those years too, so I included it here.

The #30 game only sold 779 this week. That is well below the 1k mark we were talking about a few weeks ago.

Wow yeah you're right, I mixed things up here. I'll delete this since someone else shared it in a clearer and more accurate data.

The switch evergreen order FINALLY changing is interesting.

It seems that, the games that have NS2 editions coming are holding while mk8 in particular is falling, very likely due to MKW's imminent realese.

Interesting how it took the same amount of time for both. If the same holds for the Switch we're looking at August till the launch starts impacting it in a big way. The main question is if it'll be more like the DS and have another drop right away in June or stay more stable for stretch like the 3DS. 

How did you mix things up?

Hey it's a victory, Xenoblade Chronicles X is still charting there !
