Is this what probably made them have the price drop discussion?
Besides the price issue, it was also under the shadow of 2011 earthquake/tsunami and Fukushima incident

Holidays and Super Mario 3D Land (mostly holidays).
I still don't understand how they managed to misread the Switch launch hype with MHXX. It is one of the biggest no-brainers out there for an early title, and they somehow managed to screw that up.
The proof is there. If it wasn't good it wouldn't be selling out. Are you telling me the Wii U was more supply constrained? I seriously can't believe there's still doubt.
New week, new numbers. Added the MC ones to my post here:

It's already there, even with 5% digitalSwitch continuing its strong consistent sales.
BoTW on its way to 500k
I'm still waiting until the Switch has sold the same amount of consoles as the Wii U did. Seeing whether this is just the hardcore who bought the Wii W in the first few weeks buying their Switch in the first few weeks, but the stock supply issues has dragged the numbers out giving the Switch impressive looking legs when compared to Wii U.

Decided to look around and it seems that Crash Bandicoot on PS4 has had no official announcement at all in regards to Japan, let alone a release date. Not even a single video posted on the official playstation youtube channel about Crash either.When is Crash Bandicoot releasing in Japan? Is it not a worldwide June release?
Nah, that's not what I was saying, I'm just reigning in my own expectations
Are you referring to a cross platform release on 3DS and Switch?
I know mostly about the Switch/Zelda, but seems like 1-2 Switch seems to be tugging along decently as well.
It's funny as it's the successor to the sole system their releasing mainline MH. They better hope they have a holiday port to make up lost sales.
Pretty much. I'd like to see it pass the 3DS and WiiU so we can get a better picture. Hard to tell what the true legs are/will be until we hit that point.
They are trying to get people to double dip. XX will have a Switch port for the Holidays. Capcom is just shit with milking the fanbase though.

Why compete with Zelda at launch on a system with a low user base when you can get people to Double Dip for MHXX HD in the Fall on a +3m userbase?I still don't understand how they managed to misread the Switch launch hype with MHXX.

Are these system selling games not the very thing that establishes a console's popularity to begin with?I think the main problem in drawing any direct comparson of system popularity at it's base level is that it's receiving multiple major system selling software in it's first few months something neither the 3DS or wii u had. It'll be long while until the effects off all of those wear off. The wii u got that level of software over the period of years and 3DS only really got it around Christmas where it shot up.

More or less, yeah. I don't think it would have been smart to drop 3DS entirely at that juncture, but ignoring new hardware with a game that would clean up real well on it is astonishing.Are you referring to a cross platform release on 3DS and Switch?
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Switch + Wii U = 475 837. 500k before the end of the month (most likely during MK8D week, unless there's a surprise increase for Week 16).
Looking at Wii U version sales (100k hit this week), I'd say that Zelda will not really be impacted negatively by MK8D. The game is selling well on its own, regardless of Switch hype (which does help).

So we can safely say that Switch will be around 2-2.5 million at the end of the year if sales keep above 40k a week and then does 100-150k in he last 3 weeks of the year?
PS4 until June (as mentioned earlier in this thread)
vs
Switch until June:
Less but bigger titles on Switch. In the upcoming 10 weeks.

If Switch was selling based on released games it should have dived below 20k already. It's riding launch, and maybe Splatoon, hype.
This is what I'm saying about 1-2 Switch. There's a decent audience for party games in Japan, so it's no surprise that up to now it still remains the 2nd best selling Switch game, by total sales and by weekly sales ranking.
PS4 schedule until the end of June:
Looks to be right. The only potential 100k seller on this would have to be Tekken 7. July has Gundam Versus/FFXIIHD which should definitely do 100k+ until DQ arrives.
So we can safely say that Switch will be around 2-2.5 million at the end of the year if sales keep above 40k a week and then does 100-150k in he last 3 weeks of the year?
Is there still a shortage of Switch or the production finally stabilized? MK8D bump could be impeded if there's still a stock shortage.
Zelda and 1-2-Switch combined are selling around 20k-30k, so that's where it should be right now, I guess. That lower number would be compensated by a bigger spike at MK8D's launch, which won't happen due to stock constraints.

Still supply constrained, I believe.
Zelda and 1-2-Swtch aren't the reason Switch is still out of stock right now.
3ds and switch are really impressive, especially for 3ds.
NieR, Horizon and Zelda are holding up well as well.
Well, PS4 is still hovering around 20k without significant recent games in the last few weeks, still up YoY and so on. Probably your question IS the issue: there are few significant games actually schedule until DQXI in July.
About MHXX it must be noted that MC is the tracker with lower LTD sales so far, with both Famitsu and Dengeki probably crossing the 1.5 million mark later today.
2 millions will not be achieved, imho, without the "Best price" release, but by a way smaller margin than originally expected looking at the first week MC numbers (not Famitsu nor Dengeki ones)
