NSW 2021 is 174K behind NSW 2020 with 3 weeks left of the year, if the remaining 3 weeks are flat then 2021 will total 5.79m versus 5.96m in 2020. This will surely be the first time that NSW sales have declined year over year in Japan although they would have increased if not for stock shortages. Famitsu Yearly NSW totals 2017: 3,407,158 2018: 3,482,388 2019: 4,493,885 2020: 5,956,943 |
Were there not stock issues this time last year, as well? If there were, then that argument about 2021 would have beat 2020 may not be accurate. Covid started late 2019 in Asia and was in full force globally by like March/April 2020, so production everyone was decreasing rapidly around then. Without Covid, there would have been a lot more Switch's manufactured in 2020 and 2021, so we can't assume 2021 would be better if not for shortages since the same logic could be applied to 2020.
