With a huge 35% growth I predict that 12 switch everybody will continue this perpetual growth in the following week.
by my calculations, mr horace fun game 12 switch will become the best selling game in japan in 29 weeks selling over 14.847.208 copies, long live the horse king
 
At the start of every week this year, I think Nintendo intended to announce announce the new Switch. Then the famitsu sales numbers appear and they are like “nope let’s try again next week”
 
Sorry to add onto the replies/quotes, just wanted to throw some numbers out there


A console that the Switch has already outsold, the PS4, had great sell-in numbers on the fiscal year (FY 2019) prior to the release of the PS5 (PS5 reveal was on June 2020 - FY 2020 Q1 and PS5 release was on November 2020 - FY 2020 Q3). It sold 13.5 million units which is eerily close to Nintendo's forecast for the Switch of 15 million units this fiscal year. I figured to share these numbers to make a point that the Switch continuing to sell well despite no announcement of a successor is good for Nintendo because it gives Nintendo a better cushion to transition into the Switch's successor like how PS4's continued success did for the transition to PS5.

I just wanna share here my post from the hardware speculation thread to show that it is extremely beneficial to Nintendo to have the Switch selling well theoretically a year before the release of a successor console because that proved to be helpful in PlayStation's transition from PS4 to PS5


It is mentioned that their record earnings for a transition year was "Driven by recurring revenue via digital software / subscriptions with high profit margin" and this aligns well with Nintendo's focus on maintaining Nintendo account onto their next system

I wonder if PS5 can maintain a 40K+ baseline. I mean, theoretically it shouldn't I feel, since the next big game on PS5 is I guess Spider-man and not much big is coming the coming months, but hardware sales haven't made sense for a while now so who knows.
 
Top 20 best selling platforms in Japan. Nintendo platforms are shipped numbers (except Switch) and Sony Platforms are the last reported numbers by Famitsu. The PS5 will be passing the Gamecube very soon.
