I feel that the Xbox and Switch might be over-tracked due to this tweet from Mat.   Saying 'far more difficult to find' implies that we might not really be aware of the real supply situation.   It also implies that PS5 could have somehow sold more that it did if it had more stock which is really mind-blowing right there.  For Xbox and Switch if we need to make minor adjustments in the future we can look to this a a potential reason.  We probably wont see real stock stability until the second half of this year.

Xbox sales/stock in March for the USA is seemingly abysmal from the information we have gotten from Wallmart and Amazon online sales numbers. But that tweet doesn't seem to mention anything about the Switch.

The reason why I included the Switch is because we know that the two consoles have to be in the same ballpark unit sold wise for the Switch to still win units and the Xbox to win $$.  In other words we know that the Switch sales can't be too much higher than the Xbox otherwise the math doesn't square. 

What would make this incorrect is if the VAST majority of the Xbox consoles sold were the $550 bundle.  They yes the Switch could be right and its just the Xbox thats overtracked.  I acknowledge this.  So thats why I said 'IF' we have to do adjustments for the Switch and we are looking where to adjust, we might want to remember to look here.  It probably wont make that much of a difference though.  Just being mindful.
