So Saros with less than 5k copies sold at retail during its launch week, lower launch week sales than Returnal at retail in Japan, likely a bit higher sales than Returnal if we include digital sales, but it really illustrates that for these kinds of niche games, install base size is pretty much irrelevant when it comes to sales potential, it sells roughly the same at a sub 1M install base vs 7M+ install base.

Rumor has it, sales are way lower than expected.

Switch 2

Well lol, it looks like a ton of people bought a Switch2 to play Tomodachi. Both did really well for Golden Week.



When will the Switch 2 price hike take effect in Japan?

I expect Switch 2 sales to soar until that point as it's quite substantive in Japan.

May 25th is when prices go up. Also, I want to see how Switch 1 does in Japan since that's also increasing in price. I don't think the price increase will affect Switch 2, but it will affect Switch 1.

Predictably, Switch 2 seems to be selling out ahead of the price hike as people rush to grab one at the current price:

Thank you! :) (also I’m not from Ireland. I play in a wind symphony that is currently performing throughout Ireland this week and some of next week.)



Very curious where the baseline will settle down after the price increase. I hope it sells as much as it can until then.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Pssst. It was a tongue in cheek joke about your user name!

regardless. Sounds like a fun trip!  Goodluck performing!
