It really is wild that since week 18 the Switch has been up every single week YoY. The streak could end the next couple weeks and if not for sure week 35 but either way it's been an amazing stretch.

Lets not get carried away. That would be a pretty big increase over the PS4 so outperforming it enough to outsell the PS3 is a more reasonable target for now.

It's possible, especially if no one in China wants a Chinese PS5, that's a growing market that has 10x the population of Japan, even if scalpers only account for like an extra 5k-10k of sales per week, that's a significant amount of systems over time. 

That continuing to happen to a notable degree for the next few years is a big assumption though. Demand inside of Japan would need to not fall off either.
