Kinda funny seeing the switch numbers up again when so many on this board were expecting it to be way down this year. I hate to say it, but when the numbers are still beating xbox and ps (i know only in Japan) it probably makes Nintendo a little less likely to jump the gun on launching their new system. 

I was a little surprised by the Switch’s impressive numbers for this week (up YoY), especially when considering how Metroid Prime Remaster was launched around this time last year. My speculation is that maybe those who had been holding off for Switch 2 release this year “jumped the gun” and purchased a Switch after hearing about the delay. (Plus the Partner Showcase mixed with a new Pokémon title gave Nintendo probably some good press over in Japan.)
