Slowish week.
Japan seems to like the Switch.

Switch is over 4m behinde the PS4 in japan... wonder how long it ll take to catch up? Anyways its about 8,000 units closer this week.

PS4/NSW gap charts would actually pretty interesting. I don't think it'll make up much ground till 2018 though.

Ugh seeing the Switch go from a comfortable 45-50k baseline to a 25-30k one is a bit frustating since it's all supply restictions. It's still selling better than everything else, but if Nintendo had anticipated the demand a little better it could be pulling great numbers.

They will likely ship 80k for ARMS, like they did with Splatoon2 testfire and MK8D. Hopefully they'll have more stock ready for Splatoon 2 later on.

Is this realy supply problem? I think sales goes down, because no super games come in may. ARMS is great, but don't up sales in Japan. We must wait for Splatoon 2 for return high sales.

BTW Switch does well.

Think it is supply issue if you cannot simply walk into stores and for sure get it. It happens to all new hardware.

No, it doesn't.

Okay besides Xbox one.

We are three months after launch now. Of the ten most recent systems before Switch, only the Wii faced supply issues at that point in time. Not the Xbox One, not the PS4, not the Wii U, not the Vita, not the 3DS, not the PS3, not the Xbox 360, not the PSP and not the DS.

What's happening with Switch is far from the norm.

I will have to do it this when I am home but both psvr and PS4 pro had supply issues continuing past holiday season. I can provide sources later. I can most likely pinpoint supply issue for other new sku as well. The only real argument you can present is new console launch. However I chose to say new hardware for a reason.

Ignore this.

I believe that, but we know that supply was very limited for both, so it isn't comparable to Switch where high demand is leading to shortages.

I added more. I do hate typing on mobile so this will have to wait. I also did not exclusively mean gaming either. Early adoption has been on the rise for a lot of tech products.

You said "all new hardware", so it's your argument that is screwed, not mine. You can't enter a discussion about consoles and then change your mind that you were talking about anything but consoles.

Here, have another one.

*slaps Acevil*

So you don't consider other tech products hardware? Yes I exaggerated for effect but I stand by what I meant. That new hardware these days seem to have supply issues. Also I am talking about consoles as well, and things that I consume for gaming. 

Add: But I don't just game on these pesky consoles anymore, I do also game on other devices, like Smartphones, retroboxes and have accessories that go with games that sell out. Overall things that have had supply issues.
