The Switch's downfall this holiday season is just a little strange to me considering the OLED and Pokemon this year compared to Age of Calamity last year.

OLED this week isn't even bad with it increasing on the week, but the other models are lagging behind now.

I am sure there are some shipment problems, but Nintendo always struggles to supply enough to Japan during the holiday season.

That just shows how insane last year was, it didn’t matter what came out, demand was that high.

That’s what I tried telling some people who were convinced holiday sales this year would crush last year’s, just because it has the bigger system sellers on paper doesn’t matter because 2020 was not a normal year.

That's definitely true. People underestimate the power of Animal Crossing even as a 7m seller. In fact, many of the good sales this year can probably be attributed to Animal Crossing, even if it released last year.
