Switch hardware sales in NA are almost as much as Japan.  The Monster Hunter series has definitely taken hold in NA.  Also, Switch sold almost 750k this week and is still down 6% YoY.  It's starting to look like March is the new Christmas.

NSW missed the Q1 sales record by 49K with one week remaining, so it is guaranteed.  Will not be losing its lead on 2020 anytime soon.

It needs only 511K in week 13 in order to take the all-time non-holiday quarter record of 5,886K by NDS in Q2 2007.  6M is also possible, but if it happens, it'll be if NPD and/or Nintendo's shipment numbers go higher than VGChartz is currently estimating.  Next few weeks will be telling as actual data pours in.

Fastest to 10M is also on the table.  NDS 07 and NSW 2020 both hit the 10M mark in week 23.  NSW needs to average 463K from here on out to hit that mark by week 22.

Wow, Switch has a pretty decent lead right now.  I know that NDS for 2007 is still going to be tough competition all year, but it really is amazing to see how well Switch 2021 is doing.  It has over 1m lead on 2020, and there were lots of weeks with shortages last year.  It really looks like 2021 is going to outdo 2020.

30 million baybee!!! Let's GOOOOOO!!!
