The mystery for the next weeks: can Switch-sales stay above 200K. Japan-numbers say no.

Unless the reason Japanese shipments were cut in half is so Nintendo can better meet demand in America.

Yeah, maybe. As I say: mystery.

Actually it could make sense(not that that means NIntendo actually did it): the current games are Zelda and Mario Kart. Both series are very popular in the west. Maybe after or around Splatoon less units are shipped to america and europe to get more Switches to Japan.

Well, I don't know.

They could also be holding back units for Splatoon 2's release.

Or they're holding back units for Splatoon 2.

"Withholding supply" would be the other option. NPD will tell us.
