Pretty sure only MC does. But there's been similar discrepancies before, so I wouldn't look too much into it imo.

I know Media Create tracks sales from Amazon, but I thought Dengeki did as well. Thanks for the answer :P

27./29. [NSW] Kirby Star Allies <ACT> (Nintendo) {2018.03.16} (¥5.980) - 1.575 / 750.159 <80-100%> (+10%)

Is it possible for it to reach 1 million at retail? Switch Lite and holidays will boost those sales.

At retail it won't be that easy. Perhaps closer to 900k.

Holidays and Lite will help but Kirby has a lot of competition in the same genre, with Mario Maker and Mario Bros. Definitely an amazing result though.

Uh, I was talking about Sushi Striker, duh!

I just saw that #FE was added to the voucher program. RIP again.

Depends on when the next mainline Kirby game comes out. Definitely will reach it with digital at least, if holiday sales are good.

Gears didn't even sell the 500+ units to make it onto Dengeki's Top 50? Eek

Looking at Dengeki top 50, Yoshi's Crafted World and Bomberman might be good candidates.
1-2 Switch and and Mario Tennis might happen but I wouldn't bet on Arms

Speaking of Dengeki only one comeback in the top 50, I'm not gonna bother to write it with the proper format :p

Will the Lite box being much smaller than the OG box changes things for retailers?

I'm quite curious about how dimensions influence logistics.

Probably more than most of us like to consider. I imagine in the case of shortages, sometimes a % of the blame could be assigned to the fact that retailers can only order so many units due to storage space concerns.

They'll be able to stock more units and it is critical during the Holidays.

I was also thinking about shipments.

A container full of Lite will contain a lot more units than a container full of OG.

18./18. [NSW] New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe <New Super Mario Bros. U \ New Super Luigi U> <ACT> (Nintendo) {2019.01.11} (¥5.980) - 2.875 / 682.163 <80-100%> (-7%)

Could be interesting to see if NSMBU DX could break 700K retail before 2020.

It is a guarentee imo.

Kirby was selling around the same amount last year during Week 37 and ended selling 68k copies more before the end of the year. Since hardware sales will be bigger this year, You can expect that milestone to be crushed.

But it only needs just over 1K per week?

The OG Switch box also had a space to pack in a retail game box. They probably did away with that extra space as well.

Obviously massively, everything has to be stored somewhere and storage costs money both from opportunity cost and any associated storage.

All very important for any retailer from shipping perspective , any warehouse used and on site.

AC has vouchers so digital share should be quite high. DxM does not have vouchers so digital share is likely not particularly high.

What people said + the fact that Japan is expected to be DxM strongest market whereas it is not the case for AC.

Lite_Agent · Sep 19, 2019

Problem with Daemon x Machina isn't so much W1 sales, it's that sales are going to be extremely frontloaded. And as Chris said, no eShop sales to compensate due to lack of voucher (even if it tops eShop sales during launch week).

Chris1964 · Sep 19, 2019

Next week marks the end of first half of fiscal year and the last one before VAT increases from 8 to 10% and there is a big amount of notable releases.

Nintendo prepares big shipments for everything the last 2 weeks of September so that quarter results are big.

Switch Publisher Rankings: Famitsu Week 37, 2019

*Digital sales not included.

Fun Fact: Amnesia for the Switch is the second lowest physical launch for any Switch title in the Famitsu Top 30. Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary holds the title at 1,351.

Fun Fact #2: Switch finally has 13 (THIRTEEN) publishers with over 100k in sales. It might be a while until we get a 14th.

perfectchaos007 · Sep 20, 2019

Pretty crazy how Japan essentially just has 2 relevant consoles on the market (1 home console and 1 handheld/home console hybrid). In the heyday of consoles there were up to 5 relevant consoles at a time (3 home + 2 handheld)

I think you have Take-Two at the wrong spot in your rankings. Thanks for the charts as always! I'm wondering how much higher Marvelous will get thanks to DxM and more importantly Harvest Moon & Rune Factory 5.

So, several months after announcing then pretty much cancelling Just Dance 2019, Ubisoft just announced they're going to release Just Dance 2020. No release date provided, Switch-only.

I wouldn't have high expectations regarding comebacks. There are a considerable amount of new releases this week that might avoid older games to re-enter the charts. Between those and the usual evergreens, it might be difficult for old games to have enough copies to chart.
Dengeki Top 50 will be much better for that.
