I expected switch around 80k so this is on the good side. I think next week could be a 150k week with the mario edition and game.
That Nioh performance tho...



Around the Network

Nioh 2 is BACK! but not with a bang.

Nintendo HW and evergreens down except MK8 and Smash. I wonder if MK8 can achieve a #1 week this year.



Switch dipping back under 100k and also below last year's performance. Nothing too dramatic given the lead it has built thus far. PS5 sales drop quite a bit but are still ahead of the comparable week for the PS4.

Signature goes here!

MOMOTARO IS NOW OFFICIALLY THE TOP SELLING 3RD PARTY GAME ON THE NINTENDO SWITCH:

  1. Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! (Konami) - 56.283 / 1.846.039
  2. Minecraft (Microsoft Game Studios) - 9.692 / 1.806.925

Should be well-over 2 million physical before Monster Hunter Rise launches, even though I was bullish pre-launch - the title is performing beyond my lofty expectations. 

Olive Town will be the next major success story, game is trending very strongly in terms of pre-orders and should easily become Marvelous's best selling game in Japan and has the potential to be a million-seller. I expect the initial shipment to be over 200K

Nintendo legs continues to do great. Especially for MK8DX and Splatoon which have been around since Switch early life.



Pocky Lover Boy!

I'm suprised to see 3DS sales increasing significantly from both last week and last year. You'd think they'd be running out of units to sell by now.

Switch was so close to hit 1 million mark for this year, too bad. I hope it will be the case next week.



Worst week for Switch this year. It's time Switch get's new releases. Luckily this happens soon with Mario 3D World, Bravely Default and other stuff.

It would take extreme shortages on Nintendo first huge game to come out this year to not hit that 1mil mark!!! It’s only 36k away



Well next week will already have a million, nice.
