Barring a big drop off in stock, next week should be the week the Switch passes the PS3 for 7th on the All Time list.

Switch moving up the charts. Though topping the Wii and PS1 won't happen until the holidays. 

Switch will be the #7 best selling system next week and #5 at the end of the year.  It will also still have the momentum of a freight train.  (This will likely be Switch's peak year.)  This is the kind of situation a system needs to become the best seller of all time.
