Hopefully we'll get another update soon.

Hopefully we'll get another update soon.

I don't think we will. Potentially at the end of the year or something, but even that I wouldn't bet on.

Well we should get NPD sales at least. They did update GOW after a month and it sounds like this is doing even better, so I can see them announcing huge sales to help with the holiday advertising of it.

Benji just tweeted about Super Mario Party.

It's first day sales exceeded his expectations by a lot. He says they are extremely strong sales.

We may be looking at 350k 2 day sales for it lol

Power of being an actually good Mario Party

Switch Game Performances This Year:
Bayonetta 2: 14th
Kirby: 3rd(estimated sales 260k)
Labo: 4th
DK Tropical Freeze: 5th(for two consecutive months)
Mario Tennis Aces: 1st(biggest Tennis game debut ever by far)
Octopath: 1st(218k for July)

Seems like it should be a lock for biggest debut on the Switch this year by far just depends on how much. I'm expecting 350k for two days with digital  which would be an excellent result.

At this point we should be making bets on which franchises won't get a huge bump from Switch.

Maybe Pokémon Let's Go? But even then Gen 8 will sell ridiculous if they are committing to what they said about making it the Breath of the Wild of the series.

AC Odyssey ~ 74,000 (PS4 63%, XB1 37%)
Forza Horizon 4 ~ 70,000

Spidey passed 400k this week, meaning sales were approximately flat. Incredible legs. Good start for FH4, its the best first week ever for Forza. Quite disappointing for Odyssey, which launched 26% down from Origins.

3 VR games charted.  Pretty impressive if you ask me.

It probably is, theyve been having a little bit of stocking issues in the US.  Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same in the UK.  

I don't know how big Amazon UK is, but the game ships there in 1-3 months.  

I'm also interested in seeing how the game holds up next week.

Amazon is pretty big but if people really want a physical copy they'll just order from GAME or somewhere like Shopto where its still available.

Strong chance Sony will release PR on Spider-Man global sell through for its first month sometime later this week.

Expecting it to have surpassed God of Wars 5 million sold through in the same time frame.

Ps4 ratio of assassin's creed that big in the uk? WW it must be 80%. In Europe it must be 90%. Asia possibly 95%. Crazy times for Sony.

Spiderman legs are good. Hopefully it bottoms out soon and then starts it's climb to the holidays. Hoped for Sonys 1 month announcement. Wouldn't it be insane if it was 6m+

Yeah, although xbox has a bigger digital ratio in the uk. I think the week after COD launch should be the week where software starts to stabilize and then increase.
