There's no way NSW is touching 2019 JP numbers. Holiday quarter 2019 will wipe the floor with 2023, doesn't matter how close it can stay to that year.

Holiday 2022 was nowhere near Holiday 2019 despite the strength of Splatoon 3 & Scarlet/Violet. I think Q4 2022 was the all time record for software for any device in Japan, as was 2022 overall, yet the Q4 hardware was nowhere near 2019.

Still, it goes to show how attractive the platform is for anytime during the year really. The fact it can manage to be competitive with it's third year is a big feat nonetheless.
