Even if the Lite made up only 20% of sales, that is still an extra 407K units sold in Dec.  Of course, my guess is it is closer to 25%-30%, as it currently sits at 36% of total sales in Japan for this year.  There's no denying that the $199 Lite more than likely saved it from being down YOY and is 100% what helped it hit the 2M mark.

Not sure why pointing out this simple fact after someone wrongly stated "2M without a pricecut!" seems to upset some.

Probably because it WASN'T a price cut!

Maybe not to the OG Switch model, but there was indeed a cut to the entry price point. And without that cut, it would most likely not have matched last year's numbers, let alone hit 2M.
