With the Switch Light's lower price point it should be able to do it. Heck I honestly think it has a chance to end the year at 4.8m |

Switch has had a pretty huge momentum since the September. All weeks but one has been up, the one were it wasnt it was basically flat and it was also the Pokemon+Smash bundle week. I expect the momentum to continue. This week the OG switch alone was bigger than last year. Lite is only adding, not taking sales from the OG. I dont find it very optimistic to think the last 3 weeks of the year will be up. Heck even 2017 week 51 was bigger than week 51 last year, and this only with XC2 as a holiday title. |

It wont be that tough, this week was 187k and it should consistently rise for the next 3 weeks before have a moderate drop the week after that. Here are the last 4 weeks of the year in 2017/2018. 2017 165k 220k 270k 135k Total-790k (just under 200k/week) 2018 270k 270k 270k 175k Total-1015k (just over 250k/week) Even if not as high as 2018, it should be comfortably higher than 2017. Also a big December game isnt necessary for a huge holiday, look at 3DS sales in 2012 where the big holiday title released in early Nov. 210k 320k 410k 250k |
2018 numbers have been adjusted to 1049k (262k/week).
But fair points. It's true Switch Lite is adding and not taking and 2012 3DS holiday sales were huge. I may be over pessimistic.
Still, I just cannot see it up YOY in december, maybe flat is reachable IMO.
I sincerly hope you're all right though :)
