A clean sweep by the switch. Damn what are the people buying ps5 doing with it anyways?

Around the Network

Pikmin 3 doing finer than ever and still holding the grip. It'll hit the 500K in few weeks comfortably. Reeally happy for the franchise that should have hit a record in sales (to be confirmed in March).
Also switch down YoY. Have there been any stock issues?



Software for switch is impressive sweeping the charts.

NS Being down Year on Year seems suspicious to me. There must be supply issues/Nintendo diverting shipments to other regions they deemed more important.



Switch software is impressive but hardware is disappointing.
Seems this holiday it will be down YOY in Japan and may be down rest of world as well considering NPD November was down

XBS This week 375 vs 1411 last week... what a debacle



Around the Network

The far bigger debacle are the PS5 numbers.

Playing Astrobot.

But seriously with 17k sales this week, PS5 software wouldn't even crack the top 10 even if every new owner also bought the same game with it.

The cliff is approaching


OP: Pikmin being a top 10 holiday game. Awesome! 



Probably best to just leave XBS sales alone. There hasn't really been any hope there for a long time. There's only so far you can fall when your sales are already on the ground. I'd be interested to see whether Gamepass ownership paints a prettier picture than hardware sales
