Zorg always talks about 10 weeks, I am always talking about 6 weeks. Japan holidays don't start with 10 weeks left, it starts when Pokemon launches.

Thus the emphasis on the bold.

Here I even found you a post demonstrating what I mean, similar to the one above. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8858358

And since then:

Week 31: 50,799

Week 32: 50, 143

Week 33: 54, 647

Week 34:  46,259

Week 35: 42, 151

Avg: 48,799

So it has not maintained the average necessary to be up YoY by Week 45 as I have been talking about this entire time. Yes, it will shoot back up YoY when Pokemon and Smash releases.

Switch could easily be YoY hole time even when Odyssey launches, even if Switch goes down it will be only for like 2-3 weeks until Pokemon Lets Go doesnt launch.

Switch is still around 80k YoY, so in next 7 weeks definatly will not be YoY down, actualy in that time could be make bigger YoY difrence. In 8 week from now Odyssey has launch with 127k week followed by 65k, 80k and 87k weeks, Switch in that time period will easily have week over 50k, we still dont know for how much over 50k, but we could easily see 60-100k weeks until Pokemon Lets Go dont arives. Dont forget, Switch lineup from second half of September thorugh December is much stronger than it was last year, only plus for last year was Odyssey launch in November.

Here you will get much more clear picture

A good graph and of course things will recover when Pokemon and Smash arrives.
