Yeah but to outsell the PS4 by only 4k low in its 2nd week after launch? Is that a normal drop for a launch console in its 2nd week? That is crazy low stock.....I hope the next weeks show a pick up in units sold.

Uh, yes. It's very normal. Actually, what's unusual is how Switch still sold so well in its second week despite being supply constrained. The PS4 dropped to 99k after its launch of 1.1 million, which is a larger drop in percentage terms.

See every bit of information helps! Thank you!

Its pretty normal when something is supply constrained. Take the PS4 in NA for example. One week it was selling 1M consoles, the next week it sold less than 50k.... two weeks after that did around 300k, followed by another sub 60k week.

Launch hardware sales are eratic like that. Its kinda why I say we need to let things settle down on the NS first, at least let t get to a point where there is obviously enough supply to meet demand. 

I couldn't remeber but thanks the info! It makes more sense now!

Next week is very likely to be even lower, due exclusively to low stock.It will pick things up in two weeks time(March 25th week), which is when the Switch got a "big" resupply, and keep a constant number until demand slows down, which still havent.

Thanks that puts things into perspective
