Also, a note for anybody who likes seeing these charts: If you want me to continue posting every week, let me know by either tagging me directly and explicitly laying out the request OR "Agree" on the post. Without either, I assume people aren't interested and go "Well I don't feel like booting up my PC... I'll skip this week." I'll make note of this in the main OP next week.

Glad to see you guys liking the data! :) I enjoy sharing it.

Interesting. They did the same with Kirby Air Riders in Japan. That really helped push the game as well.

To me it's clear some of it clearly comes from the fact one of their most anticipated games in Splatoon Riders is coming soon, which means, an obvious boost to come with it.

The lagging effect of the boosted sales pre-price hike will always cast a shadow on those as well. At least until the Lite model comes out at some point.

Super glad for Rhythm Heaven first few weeks though, will have to get it at some point too, but it's clear the audience still clearly cares for this type of games and Nintendo keeps answering their call with positive results !

HW sales only increased to 50k.

Huge 475k launch for Splatoon Raiders but underwhelming boost to hardware. No clue when it's going to get better.

The console sold an insane amount of units in the weeks prior to the price cut. I think it's very expected for sales to be down for the coming months. 

Yeah I just saw, I guess I overestimated the impact of a Splatoon spinoff to sell systems.

Buying power in Japan isn't at its best state and the increase was pretty significant there so it's probably not going to get better until the holidays 

Yeah they got an extra 350-400k sales in May, but sales in June/July have been so much lower than months before that they've now basically almost burned through those additional sales.

They need to get sales back on track and not dropping back down to 25k for the weeks ahead. If it stays like this till the holidays that ain't good.

Whoops meant to post this in the new Famitsu thread...
