May is typically the weakest month of the year in Japan, so you can't properly judge how summer is going to be. Last year was an outlier because of TotK's release, but this year should be back to normal.

In other words, panic mode based on weak May sales is ill-advised.

That seems like a strange argument. Surely you just need to keep the relative weakness in mind when imagining how the following few months will go, like take how it does in May but increase that somewhat.

It's an argument based on history. We've had too many years on VGC with a negative overreaction to the general market performance in May.
