It hasn’t been only one week though. There has been talks of stock issues since launch. Would people really wait repeatedly when there are other options rather than a physical version of a frontloaded JPRG?   Why are you repeating talking about the PS4? I haven’t mentioned it once and it’s coming off like you’re obsessed. 

So back it up with actual data?

Everything I've seen has PS4 and SW SKUs at 80-100% throughout the weeks. So clearly there isn't that much disparity between stock for PS4 and SW.

2nd week drop was 70% PS4 and 82% SW, again not that different other than SW performing worse.

3rd week is where we see stock issues affect sales, PS4 around 40% drop SW at 80% drop, but the amount of sales are low as its the third week of an RPG.

So there you go, stocks caused issue in the third week and the SW lost around 10k sales.

Stock was consequently replenished and the bump was very little.

The switch version was sold out on amazon for like two weeks at launch lol. In week 2, when switch lacked stock, wouldn’t it make sense for the PS4 version to have a better drop because consumers would go for it? Also, was stocked completely replenished? And even if it was, the demand for the game is basically gone now. The exactly same thing happened with octopath in 2018. If stock isn’t there right away physical sales will be loss.
