Oh right, forgot about Pokkén Tournament DX again, ha.
Anyway, I guess October is when Switch sales will drop the lowest, in preparation for Super Mario Odyssey. But if it can stay around 50k throughout September, that'd be a good thing.
I'm wondering how many imported/downloaded the game (it is translated, after all).

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
They should at least consider having them also be for switch

That would increase production cost a lot. Not that the 3DS version is gonna recoup costs anyway... I would've given it more chance on Switch than on 3DS yeah.

Well Deserved, BotW. TP is the top seller in the series right? I know it's either that or Ocarina. I think it's safe to say BotW will end up as the best selling Zelda LTD eventually.

Another great week for Switch, I was expecting less. I wonder how many units of the Monster Hunter Double Cross was sold in this period.
Nice hold. Or not bad at all. I hope that it can manage to have some legs and reach the 200k mark.
And ouch :
I thought it would sell less than 10k, but it was way lower.
E this is interesting :
I wonder what is the expectation for the Switch version, maybe 3K first week and 15k LTD ?

Famitsu is up (with lower switch sales).
Or Media Create adjusted this week or the otherwise.

I wonder what you think of the Wii U, PS Vita and Xbox One's performance in the West then?

The WiiU and Vita were absolutely weak in the West. The Xbox One is extremely weak in all markets besides NA and the UK.
33k on famitsu this week?

Arms will continue to be a #3-6 game purchased for Switch owners in Japan. I'm very pleased it's still selling.
I mean, Nintendo could make another SKU of Switch more geared towards handheld-only users, but I can't see them putting out a 3DS-2 (or Wii 3 for that matter) without also taking a bunch of wind out of the sails of the Switch.
Which means that, in sales even if in terms of nothing else, the Switch is a successor to the 3DS's market, as there will likely be no 3DS to make up for however fewer sales Switch gets than the 3DS.
Like the Wii U did bad, but it's still 13 million, and Nintendo's total base for the previous run was that plus the 3DS numbers. If Nintendo only has Switch now, it should outperform the 3DS, or else it will still be a loss in the end.
I thought it bombed pretty bad.
I expect it to outsell the PS4 version.

Great numbers for Everybody's Golf and also good to see Switch sales over 50k still.

It outsold the original Vita game and the PS4 remaster combined.
FW Sales:
Vita - 43k
PS4 Remaster - 25k
Gravity Daze 2 - 74k
Take that as you will.
In Japan it sold at the same level with the first Vita game. Not anything to celebrate but not the bomb it was at west.

This is great! maybe it'll surpass the wind waker by the end of 2017 and PH including digital

Tons of wiiu owners also had 3ds systems. Losing zero zero customers would Still mean fewer units of hardware sold.
It will surpass all but OoT by the end of the year. DLC/Amiibos hitting soon and Nintendo will increase Switch shipments in the last 3 months starting with MariO.

A well as to be expected. And judging by the PS4 sales launch aligned, not much.

Attach ratio? Really? =/
Okay, maybe a little unfair including Nights 2. Here's more about the attach ratio compared to the other systems:
- PS4: 0.35%
- Vita: 0.13%
- Switch: 0.28%
Splatoon is the freshest game ever made
Nay, I think those games are cheap enough to make.
Preparations for direct have started.
I wonder if Nintendo will open preorders for other games except Mario. Pokemon can wait a few weeks more but Xenoblade could start immediately with the announcement of release date.
Hopefully this is the sign of the new baseline being between 40-60K for September
2017 for the west ? Sure. Dont know about Japan...they might release it next year depending on the 3rdParty titles they have lined up for the final two months.
But yeah def. Team17.

Sure hope so. It would be odd if Nintendo didn't have any first party games for both November and December, which leads me to believe they have faith in Xeno making it out in time.

Capcom was most likely the first Japanese publisher to receive a Switch devkit. I'm pretty sure that MHXX could have launched simultaneously on the 3DS and Switch. But Capcom in their infinite wisdom and genius level business acumen decided USFII was far more important to the overall future of their company. Dumbasses...
Well, SFII is going to end up selling more than MHXX lol!

I could go all day on what could've been or I could beat a dead horse that is Campcom.

Japanese consumers won when they announced Monster Hunter: World before releasing the Switch port. It's hard to get mad at informed consumer spending being enabled.
They managed to sell a half-assed port for way too much money to an audience that was willing to buy more copies than it deserved to sell. I'd say it was a success.
Getting dev-kits earlier doesnt necessarily mean that the company has resources free to actually develop and optimize the games. Could they have had MHXX out at the Switch launch ? Likely...but it probably would have been a worse version than the one that launched this month...and the total sales wouldnt have been much higher....if higher at all.
The only misstep in regards to MHXX from Capcom is the missing western release....they know that the game would sell to some Switch owners but they are sacrificing it to maximize MHW sales potential.
