Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a very significant drop in Switch sales in Japan during the weeks leading up to the revision? If not then it may be as @The_Liquid_Laser said, that they were short on old Switch models in Japan during that period. |

Switch had a ~30k/week baseline through most of the spring followed by a nice boost from Mario Maker then it gradually went back to the baseline before getting another spike from the holidays with the typical post holiday drop.
Also we got info from posters like Chris & Hiska on Resetera that there was not shortages leading up to the revision, they actually talked about how retailers are going to have a very hard time getting rid of stock of the old model now since there are still an ample amount on shelves.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
