Idk Japan is up 45% YoY in the first 6 weeks of the year and it's not like Japan has gotten anything significant that skipped the West.

I know each region is going to have their own trends but I just dont see why Japan would be up so much while the West is down or stagnant.

Is not what i'm saying already happening in this week? If Switch is only 14k more than last year worldwide, and i think Switch this week was doing more than 14k this year than compared to the same week in 2018 in JP, then in conclusion, in the rest of the world is flat or even less, isn't it?

I'm basing all of this in VGC numbers of course.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not sure if I believe these numbers. I cant think of any reason why Japan would be up so much while the West is declining.

I guess we just have to wait a few days when NPD numbers come out to have a better picture.
