The Switch numbers seem a bit fishy because Japan had the biggest increase despite being the worst region for Pokemon Let's Go.

 

Week ending Nov 10

N. America-93k

Europe-67k

Japan-54k

 

Week ending Nov 17

N. America-234k (up 150%)

Europe-129k (up 92%)

Japan-194k (up 260%)

Remember that Smash bundle released the same week as Pokemon in Japan whereas outside of Japan it released 2 week earlier.

That is definitely a factor and will help the % increase be in Japans favor but America/Europe/RotW did not get any significant increase in the previous two weeks according to this site.

Switch sales excluding Japan

Week end Oct 6-156k

Week end Oct 13-155k

Week end Oct 20-161k

Week end Oct 27-152k

Week end Nov 3-165k (Smash Bundle)

Week end Nov 10-179k

 

It gave like a 30-40k boost over 9 days in America+Europe+RotW combined so I have a hard time seeing the boost in Japan being anything more than 25k do to the Smash bundle for 2 days.
