this 'downward trend' point for YoY comparisons is completely moot when you consider that switch is literally selling out whatever it ships. we have no real way of gauging how high the demand is right now, all we can say for sure is that it is higher than what the current numbers would indicate.
anyways, i actually do expect switch to be down at least for September, and quite possibly 1 or 2 holiday months depending on supply. Lineup isn't massively important right now as we've seen for the last few months - the huge momentum is coming from an extremely strong stack of evergreens and the ongoing ACNH phenomenon. I mean, japan is seeing record breaking sales every week despite there not being a real hardware-pushing title since march.
