surprised at the Switch dipping that much, it seems like they need actual games to sustain momentum throughout the year, let's get going on that 1st party software already and not just re-releases of old games!

Looking at last year's sales, it did 113k this week and averaged ~125k/week from early May-mid July so while these sales arent outstanding, it seems like its still selling steadily above last year even without mega hits like Zelda/Mario Kart.

Last year they shipped under 2 million this quarter, they should easily beat that this year.

Indeed, but to get to a 20 million fiscal year, they really need it to move even faster. Maybe they're aiming for a ludicrous Q4, we all know what they're capable of during the holidays, for instance. I guess we'll have to wait and see what they show off in the coming weeks and months, they tend to hold their cards closer to the chest than the competition.
