Japan's love affair with the Switch continues to burn brightly.
Very interested to see how hardware fares on the week of Splatoon 3 itself.
In its 6th year, will almost everyone interested already own one, or will there be a big boost above baseline?

We already saw a boost last week due to the Splatoon 3 themed Switch.

I'm not expecting 400k or something, but I suppose it's going to be a nice boost.

The boost from a new hardware edition is a bit different from the boost gained from a sequel to a game already on the same hardware though; I have no doubt Splatoon 3 will cause a bump, but I'm unsure whether it will exceed the special edition OLED bump as the Switch has been out for a long time now and the vast majority of folks with interest in Splatoon 3 may already own the hardware.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
