Is Obon known for big hardware boosts? I was thinking it was smaller than Golden Week.

I'm not too sure. I'm just going by what the MC thread on resetera has been saying for awhile. Since it's like a full week of holidays and Japan loves to shop on holidays there should be a a pretty big increase.

Hiska Kun gave some 3DS Obon numbers for reference. He didnt include 2011 or 2012 because they had a price cut and revision but here are 2013 & 2014 pre-Obon and Obon weeks.

2013, 58k to 70k

2014, 40k to 52k

 

So i guess ~60k give or take would be a decent result for Switch next week.
