With the announcement of Splatoon 3, MK8 Deluxe should quickly surpass Splatoon 2 in the coming weeks.



Around the Network

Switch back over 100k, I was kinda expecting more but maybe it's a supply issue. PS5 bounces back again and makes up some ground vs the PS4 launch but still has a long way to go to match its numbers.

Signature goes here!

Switch back in the 100K club, PS5 >20K, even PS4 is up, so good week for hardware for most.

Little Nightmare launches double as big on Switch than PS4.

Super Mario 3D World launched 100K on WiiU (according to VGC), so this is a 150% increase on Switch. Incredible!

Switch may be dip below 100K in week 8 (or not, we'll see), but week 9 has Bravely Default. The first game launched with 140K on the 3DS, so even stronger than SM3DW on WiiU and we have a full on sequel, not only an extended port. So I think Bravely Default II should be enough to bring Switch back above 100K.

Switch 2021 has a little time to build the lead over 2020, before inevitable it gets beaten by AC launch week. It will be very interesting to see if one week later MonHun Rise can bring a similar boost as AC and revert the loss.

PS4 is kinda flat from here on out (until Destiny release which brought it up to >20K), so PS5 has a chance to slowly wittle away this lead. What big releases PS5 has lined up for this year?

Week 9 also has the new Story of Seasons game which is looking like its going to have a pretty big launch.

The fact MK8 haven't outsold Splatoon 2 just shows how great the Splatoon IP is. Japan really fell in love with this game.

So I was thinking of another weird scenario that would be...... insane
.

2021 > 2020 right (famitsu sell thru) by barely. So 6mil-6.2mil by years end.... something that’s already being discussed. If true the. That would mean NSW will be around the 24.5mil sell thru rate.

Now for the weird insane theory... every year from 2017 will be up YoY from the last. Then decline... or will it? How about a chance of 2022 being up once again YoY?



Huge 3D world numbers. Looks like it will do massive numbers, probably better than NSMB U
