Apparently Death Mark's initial shipment has already sold out. It only releases this coming Thursday.
Tiny shipment I'm sure, but still, lol.

Yeah.
It's a bit of a wildcard given the nature of the Switch and the lesser popularity of XX.

That's not their job. Just like it wasn't Sony's job to make Persona 5 come out faster in the west.
ofcourse it's not their job but it is in their best interest to make it happen

It was originally suspected that XX would be a potential Switch/3DS title from the start. I can't proclaim to know what casual gamers follow, but there were a few obvious hints towards a Switch port from Capcom. Lastly, I think general fatigue of the series on a weaker 3DS weakened its potential especially coming out after the Switch was on the market.
I can't really claim to being great at sales predictions either, but I find it fun to speculate anyways. I tend to stick to lower ranges of potentials normally, but I think this is a good move by Capcom and should be a popular/successful title even as a port.
mh xx for switch is an easy 1m seller
i dont see anything stopping it from putting up similar performances to mh3 for 3ds, it'll have a bit over a year to sell until mh5 comes out imo
mh xx performance was relatively weak due to 3ds being old and the amount of mh games already released on the console, switch version wont have such a problem

Nice that you made the comment just for the joke though.

Yeh I admit it's a new level. I find it less annoying than the usual round-about conversations. Partly because it's so weird xD.

This are some guesstimates based on shipment data, and some PR, the best we can hope for.
All the best selling games on 3DS should be above 70k at least, maybe even 100k.
If the game is not difficult to translate, maybe something like Smash or Arms, sure. However, I am against delaying a release in Japan just so that it can be translated into a bunch of other languages. Surely that is not fair. Nor is it practiced the other way around, American developers don't wait till the game is translated into Japanese to release, if they did how do you think people would react?
localisations don't have to delay a game if it's done/taken into account during development
pokemon has managed to release ww now, there's nothing stopping any other game from doing so
im not talking about multiple languages either, just from japanese to english should be sufficient
western devs don't have the same incentive since the industry is more western-centric now, unlike in previous gens when japanese development/market was just as relevant, it is japanese developers that need to target the west asap, not the other way around
i believe nintendo themselves have said they will try to release their games simultaneously going forward
Yes I get that this report is saying Nintendo is targeting a higher number, I thought it was 18 million for the fy and that's a production number. But Nintendo's official guidance is still 10 mil sold/shipped? and this report raises the issue of securing parts and potential shipping issues. I think Nintendo's official guidance to investors is more credible than a rumor/inside source even if it is a conservative target.
The way people are discussing that rumour here in this thread, makes me as if they are discussing facts from an official source.

Circle tweeted (years ago at this point) that Urban Trials did more than 100K in Japan. (It's why they commissioned a sequel).Ōkami;238613967 said:
The base is 100K+

yea Wednesday at 6am PST.
So are we anticipating a bigger or smaller shipment this week.
Anecdotally I have been seeing tons of TV ads for the Switch this week but no Switch units on shelves. When I saw the ads I figured they must having some units to sell if they are running so many. But it doesn't seem that they was any larger shipment, at least in my town.
I saw a used switch. It was 45,000yen, no box. Lunacy.
Get it together Nintendo.

What is expected?
Another sales-gimped week of ~25k? or back to earlier "baseline" of 45-ish? For the Switch that is

with Mario Kart dropping to the 3rd this week, plus the Nintendo vs Apple thing, I guess it will be even worse than the last two weeks
Lord...
It's gonna be another fun week for people with agendas.
For those who hate Nintendo:
Step 1: Laugh at the low sales
Step 2: After being pointed out that it's sold out, question if it's really "sold out". Use anecdote of seeing one available as proof. Amazon counts.
Step 3: Once Famitsu confirms the supply constraints, change scorn to "Artificial scarcity".
Step 4: Predict that if more supply was available they wouldn't sell because demand has declined.
Step 5: Conspiracy theory about how Nintendo keeps lowering the supply to make it seem more popular.
Step 6: Ignore sales altogether and speculate that Monster Hunter 5 will be on the PS4 exclusively.
For the Nintendo fans:
Step 1: State that it's sold out and you can't sell more than what exists.
Step 2: Say "Even Nintendo was surprised by how many they sold" as an explanation.
Step 3: Pretend the ridiculous supply is a strategy to hold more units for the big games coming up.
Step 4: Say "Factories can't magically make them overnight" (or 3 months..)
Step 5: Blame Apple
Step 6: Ignore supply all together and claim that Splatoon 2 will have an 80% attach rate.
For everyone else (both of you):
Step 1: Compare historical sales trends
Step 2: Graphs, lots of graphs.
Step 3: Wonder why people keep quoting https://www.merriam-webster.com/
So you know, the usual.

25k all the way to ARMS.

Yeah, I don't really expect the supply issue to be resolved for a couple weeks, at least until ARMS hits. But if nothing is fixed by the launch of Splatoon 2, that would be very concerning. Nintendo needs big shipments surrounding that game to capitalize on the hype, since it will likely be their biggest game launch of the year in Japan (unless Pokemon is actually coming, but even then I would expect Pokemon to have the bigger FW, but Splatoon 2 to have the bigger LT sales).
