| RolStoppable said: Since Japanese Switch sales have been stable for a few weeks, I wonder if the same holds true for the USA. Japan's baseline is ~20k higher than prior to the production increase, the supposed numbers for August in the USA indicate an increase to the weekly average by ~10k units (up from 40k to 50k). Europe is pure guesswork, but its shipments probably stayed flat. In the sum, this quarter Switch should ship ~100k units more per month which isn't much of an increase, but would be enough to clear the 7m mark (worldwide) by the end of September. |
Good observation and it will be nice to see when the full numbers are revealed of how much Nintendo was able to ramp up production. It seems at least that Japan is benfitting mostly from it so far, and for obvious reasons. Still we are left to wonder what the acutal demand baseline for the Switch would be if there was enough stock everywhere.
