Decent boost for all on this minor holiday week. Still pretty poor sales iirc.

Switch on a good week in 2017 was often 60-90k but that was counterbalanced by the low stock weeks.

Ya if Nintendo was only shipping 20-30k on a regular week than it would have those types of weeks this year for big releases too.

Overall a steady 40-50k is probably better than a wild fluctuation of 20-90k.

Pretty good to be steady without a Splatoon 2. But Splatoon 2 and other factors definitely enabled the Switch to have big weeks. It probably could have been bigger, and the lack of stock might have lead to stellar holiday sales.

But we can't really know that.
