Pokemon numbers are lower than recent core series but Switch hardware boost is beast though, thx to Smash and Pokemon bundles.
 
OMG 200k for Switch, even already + at YOY number.
A little dissapointed at LGPE number. With the good WOM, hope will show a strong legs moving forward.

Also Lol at [PS4] Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs: Steam Dungeon (FuRyu, 11/15/18) – 5,025
Bad decision to keep releasing a fan service ps4 exclusive game.

Around 1,5 million left for switch to overtake PS4, Let's go.

Impressive Switch numbers. Hopefully Nintendo can maintain momentum.
Pokemon Let's Go has good word of mouth so the drop next week shouldn't be that bad.
 
Holy fuck 200K for Switch those are some fucking legs on that system.
This meme needs to be updated.

Pokemon Let's go did better than I thought. I was expecting below 450k. Very good. And also Switch hardware sales were as expected. I read a lot of retailers and related saying that it could be in between 200 and 250k, Which is a very impressive number.

Since the word of mouth for Pokemon Let's go is very good, maybe next week they will have high numbers too. And this make me think that, 1 million for Smash on the first week, is very likely.
 
Pokemon lets go sold a 1/3rd of both XY and Sun and Moon. Disappointing sales imo. NA sales are better.

You have to consider both those games had an higher installed console base at the time of release,the new game has a pretty good attach rate imo.

200k sold Switchs vs 8k PS4 ? no wonder Sony hate Japan now and want to destroy Japanese games.
I've been told so many times Sony wouldn't have any issues with this censorship and nobody could care about it. But Japan cares about their shit they care about what gets censored or not, and shit even someone here told me that it was not going to change anything Aurelian Aurelian himself told me that nothing would happen.

You know what Spiderman is selling out everywhere those bundles are off the shelves except one place. Japan. Seems I was right about people jumping ship and that's a lot of people.
 
That's some bigass jump for Switch. Almost 4-5 times the usual. Interesting to see next week.
 
No matter what Nintendo is saying, the Pokemon Let's Go underperformed for sure. For comparison here the launch of Dragon Quest XI:

01./00. [3DS] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Square Enix) {2017.07.29} – 1,134,876 / NEW
02./00. [PS4] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Square Enix) {2017.07.29} – 945,507 / NEW

Nintendo 3DS: 1 135 000 units
PlayStation 4: 946 000 units

Oh yeah i forgot the Pro, its still a very low number compared to Switch. do you know how many PS4s sold in the same week Spider man released since its their biggest exclusive.
No idea really. Yeah PS4 has been almost always consistently selling that many. Not much but yea, always much lower than the Switch. I'm actually pretty surprised it's selling that much anyway, since Japan is much bigger on portables than home consoles.
 
Are those numbers right?

200,000 Switch
18,000 PS4
164 Xbox One

That disparity just seems absurd
 
Even the most basic and casual Pokemon version will sell. Nintendo doesn't have to do anything better for the franchise.

Found it.

The biggest PS4 exclusive this year didn't do much for the PS4 console sales, only 19k sold. and after the new censorship polices the PS4 is going to tank there.
 
PS4 sales in JPN have been declining since spring. Months before the censorship mandate.

has nothing to do with censorship. Sony gave up on japan like a year or two after the PS3 came out. I can't blame japan for not buying the system. Sony's system output is 100% for the west. even SCE japan games are more western. Sony stupped doing collaborations with japanese games

hell am surprised ps4 even sold like 8m in japan or w/e it has so far. should sold shit.

It is. Switch sales are 10 times more than PS4 sales. Even more crazy the number you removed from rounding down on switch and PS4 sales is itself several times more than xbox one sales. Crazy if you think about it.

If you mean hardware, Switch isn't doing 10 times the PS4. Switch is averaging 40k/week while PS4 17k/week I think. Just this week and possibly coming weeks for Pokemon and Smash. Although I don't know how big Smash is in Japan.

It basically only sold cause of the japanese devs making games for it.

It already has a higher attach rate than both of them though. That's a factor to keep in mind. Normally, Pokémon games come out later in the gen.

Nah, Let's go sales in Japan is disappointing by pokemon standard there.

Splatoon 2 opened with a similar number with a much lower install base.
Smash Bros Ultimate is going to smash Let's go pathetic number without a problem.
 
The heck did nintendo pull 200K switches from?
