As for production, we achieved steady hardware production through the end of last calendar year, and as a result, in the previous fiscal year we set a record for our highest fourth-quarter sales volume.

VGCharts Top Hardware 17 Weeks

NSW with a strong week (bit weaker than I expected, figured Snap would bump NA/Eur to get up to ~550K), losing little ground against a stronger 2020 week last year.  Will cross 8M in Week 18 and be the fastest to ever do so.  10M around the corner.

Lead over NSW 2020 now down to 527K, but it only has to tank two more weeks, as in week 20 NSW 2020 finally levels off due to stock depletion.
