If you take it at face value, from the weekly sales last posted on VGC, the average has dropped to 70k, but what is more likely is that it's gone something like this:

104k - 88k - 77k - 64k - 51k or there abouts.

As I predicted in previous posts, It will be a few months before we have a solid idea of the consoles baseline for the rest of the year.

Also, I suspect with those sorts of numbers, while switch may have held on to US, it may be #2 worldwide for april, not by a huge margin but still.

With Mario Kart at the end of the month, it should have a big boost at some point. So probably more like:

90k - 75k - 50k - 100k - 70k

but however you add that up its higher than ndp have stated, i posted 5 numbers the first being the last reported week on vgc for NA, since your first isnt 104k i assume youre going slightly into may.

90+75+50+100 is 315k, we already know they only sold 280k so your estimate is 35k over in total.

also you need to keep in mind you cant have a big sales boost if the stock for that boost isnt on shelves (which it totally isnt right now)
