It should be higher than that, with the way the dates line up this year we should be looking at a smaller WoW drop compared to last year.

Let's compare to 3DS 2013 when it had the same dates.

3DS vs NSW

Week 48-100k vs 186k

Week 49-122k vs 188k

Week 50-183k vs 236k

Week 51-245k vs 291k

Week 52-209k vs ????

Looking at how it's been trending against 3DS 3rd December it should be 220k or more.

Interesting. It's great to see the switch pulling in great numbers, in many cases, better numbers than the 3ds.

I think next year could be even bigger with a price drop at some point. Do you think theyll drop the price of both the original and lite?

I think they will later on, closer to the holiday season. Unless it is selling at the same pace as 2019, then maybe not. 

Thanks for the numbers.

I dont see a price cut happening unless sales start to crater, which is highly unlikely. Lite was introduced as a cheaper alternative for budget gamers so that they wouldnt have to cut the price of the premium model.

The more likely scenario is that we start to see added value bundles with a pack in game. Holiday promotions could see temporary price reductions or the addition of a 2nd game or accessories.
