Black Ops still holding off Red Dead, interesting. Crazy to think that Mario Party almost sold as much as Red Dead did.
Nintendo hardware up.. Playstation hardware down..
Software numbers definitely seem low this week overall.
Red Dead didn't do that great in Japan and the Switch went up in sales. Probably from people getting excited over Pokemon Let's Go. Dragon Ball Fighterz is still hanging in there. Good for it.

13/20 are Switch titles, 16/20 are on Nintendo hardware. Japan really loves the Switch right now.
It was comfy when I held it. I just think it will limit rather than help.
Oh no! An adult doesn't enjoy playing a version of something made for 5-year-olds! Ring the alarm bells! I am so shocked!
This sums things up pretty well:

Yeah, this product isn't meant for people that don't have a 3DS yet and don't want to spend $40 on the 3D feature when they aren't going to use it. No, not at all.
It's a gaming system designed to be tough and for small children, is cheaper, and is just in time for pokemon... that's not idiotic... it's fucking genius.
Only problem is they shouldn't have called it 2ds. Maybe 3ds Jr.
