Switch was consistently doing above 70k in NA for several weeks. Then it seems like it drop all of the sudden to 57k-ish. I am not sure why it stayed above 70k a week for so long, and now I am not sure why it dropped all of the sudden.

Perhaps because of Octopath Traveller?

I think it has to be more than Octopath Traveler.  Octopath Traveler had an extremely strong first week, but it fell down quickly in the charts after that.  Switch sales also spiked when Octopath Traveler was released, but while Octopath declined in sales, the Switch kept going strong.  There is something more going on with the Switch than just Octopath Traveler.

Here is info I pulled from VGChartz.

Week	Switch (NA)	Octopath Traveler Sales (USA)
July 7	46k	-
July 14	77k	135k
July 21	70k	40k
July 28	72k	27k
Aug. 4	71k	18k
Aug. 11	70k	15k
Aug. 18	71k	?
Aug. 25	57k	?
