The following week is also up, and went against my theory

Pretty sure this is as low as it gets and will go up again now

It's a lot less down than I thought. Going by the drop in Zelda-numbers I expected a larger drop. Can around 150K be the baseline? Well, 148K in this case.

The PSV should be dropped in favor of the Wii and the Wii U should be kept in order to shame it for months to come.



Well, software-numbers for the week ending 27th have Zelda Switch stable, so I assume the same for hardware. Another 150K-week then. Seems we have found the manufacturing baseline. Now Nintendo increase the production so we can find out about the demand-baseline.

Should be a spike this month when Splatoon hits provided they can get stock out in time.

Well, Nintendo announced that starting July increased production volume should kick in.

True, but I wouldn't expect the baseline to change much until the Splatoon 2 release, as Nintendo is probably holding back a lot of consoles just for that launch, especially in Japan.

After Splatoon 2 launch, I expect the baseline to be more like 180k until september and 200k until the holiday season. Still probably not nearly enough, but at least not as crippling anymore.
