There have been a lot more shipments this week, to the point that the first 4 spots on Amazon Japan are Switch Consoles right now (and 9 through 13, 16 and 20, so 11 out of the 20 first spots!)

So yes, I believe they hold back a lot of them for this week, when Monster Hunter XX, One Piece Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition and Minecraft: Story Mode get released.

You almightly teller of amazon.jp fortunes fortold a bad week for this week as well if I remember correctly. Amazon.jp seems to be a really good indicator. Also the top 20 are insane right now.

You remembered correctly

I remarked that Amazon japan seemed to be a better indicator than COMG sometimes when I was actually tracking Splatoon's status (who stayed in the top 20 apart from a handful small dips when many games got released at the same time for a bit over a year!) and been monitoring it's top 100 ever since. it's gonna be interesting if Splatoon 2 can reinitiate that success, though it will be harder because of it's bundle and digital version stealing off sales
