When looking at the Switch's numbers for previous years, I wondered how higher did go the strongest weeks for hardware there.

So here they are top 10 (according to VGChartz data):

1. week ending 22.12.2005 - 603,201 (NDS)
2. week ending 22.12.2011 - 497,223 (3DS)
3. week ending 21.12.2006 - 492,301 (NDS)
4. week ending 02.12.2004 - 458,825 (NDS)
5. week ending 20.12.2012 - 422,566 (3DS)
6. week ending 31.12.2005 - 410,218 (NDS)
7. week ending 17.12.2005 - 398,435 (NDS)
8. week ending 19.03.2020 - 380,279 (NSW)
9. week ending 26.02.2011 - 374,164 (3DS)
10. week ending 17.12.2011 - 372,281 (3DS)

So, a few points out from this:

• Switch may become the best selling system in Japan, despite having only 1 week in the TOP 10 strongest weeks there.
• Switch having the best selling non-holiday week there, beating it's own launch week and 3DS launch week too, as well as every other holiday week it had, and most of the 3DS holiday weeks as well.
• There haven't been a console topping 400k weekly since 2012, which doubts how big chance there is for future consoles doing the same achievement, let alone reaching 500 or 600k weekly.
