Switch's 2nd worst week of the year, and yet worse weeks are yet to come in October. June, May, and October really drag down HW sales. I would be curious on what the worst famitsu weeks were in 2018. |

April to E3 in June was the worst stretch last year with Golden Week being the only week above 40k.
October (week 40-43) was fine last year, so no reason to be worried about that month specifically. Especially because Dragon Quest XI S is scheduled for a late September release while Luigi's Mansion 3 could make late October (release month has yet to be confirmed, tentative Q4 right now).
Also, there's the widely expected revision that is supposed to be smaller and cheaper. If it gets released this year, then Switch will finish 2019 comfortably ahead of 2018.

October this year will have another tax hike though, and last time that happened, the market performed very poorly. DQXI S might turn the tides though.
I think Nintendo, Sony and MS are worried about politics so they are withholding the much needed price cuts or revisions. I have been waiting for a revision or price cut for a very long time, so I certainly hope it still happens.
