I'd expect it to do better than that actually. Usually shipments are 25% for Japan and considering it looks like Pokemon did a lot better overseas compared to Japan.. I'd say it's likely more hardware was also sold outside of Japan.

800k or more is not out of the question here. Probably a really really good week for the Switch.

I would assume the same thing as well, but then Benji said that the boost to switch hardware is good, but not insane. With the WoM, I think the hardware boost will be more spread out instead of over one weekend 

He later mentioned that the Switch had a crazy week prior to Pokemon launch so he flipped a bit on his first statement. But yes, I agree that the general WoM is very postivie and it should probably affect hardware boost quite a bit over time and not just the launch week.
