That trajectory on the Switch though. I'd like to see the wii added to this since it was also severly supply contrained. Right now the Switch is definitively still selling out as soon as shipments come in. I hope we get an actual big Shipment for MK8D though.

Here's a comparison of the Switch with the previous two gens of Nintendo and PS:

It is worth pointing out that the Wii was a holiday release, but it still managed an impressive baseline after the holidays. It was incredibly front-loaded in Japan, though, even more so than in the West, peaking in 2007 as opposed to peaking in 2008 like it did in the West. Here's an annoted chart of Wii sales:

 

That impressive baseline rapidly dropped later that year before rebounding for the holidays and on into the first half of '08, before its baseline permanently dropped to below 40k/week in Q3. But even with those impressive early baseline numbers, it still pulled "only" 3.9M in all of 2007, whereas the 3DS sold 4.28M in 2011 despite having a far less impressive initial baseline:

Thanks! These are great!
