I don't know why people expected more hardware than this to be honest, given the quarter had no big new games and a new model was imminent.

It seemed fairly predictable to me that this would be a relatively weak quarter for hardware sales.

Looking back in hindsight the signs were there, the Lite model has nosedived into the dirt and for Switch to be outsold in the September NPD in units by the elusive PS5 was a bad omen. The famitsu sales were declining so i expected hardware to be down yoy but not by 44%. I've adjusted my expectations from 26-27m to 23-24m for the fiscal year.

I'm adjusting my expectations down to 25mil, from also 26-27. Probably the first OLED shipment was not included in this shipment update.
