According to your own figures JP + EUR sales are only down 7% combined, that is almost flat, US sales were also more or less flat in Oct and Nov, again, most of the deficit is coming from US December sales and "other" (which is basically a black box in terms of data), never mind the fact that Nintendo shipment totals have historically outpaced sold-through figures in the holiday quarter (6.9m shipped vs 5.3m sold through last holiday quarter)

First of all it's not my own figures, it's on the site where you are on - VGChartz. And since you are here it's normal to agree with those figures, otherwise why would anyone come and look at data he don't believe ?

Second I am not saying it's down massively, I am saying it's down. it's not flat all regions like you describe it. EU is down almost 200k, that is down that is not flat. JP is almost flat, slightly above, but again without the last week since it don't have to be there, since it's mostly 2025, it would be behind there as well.

Third, about the US it was flat in November and I was talking purely about holidays here. But October was down as well - a whopping 70k, it did 135K in 2024 and 205K in 2023. I don't know why you are including October here..

About the shipments I haven't debated that. I don't know what will be the final official shipped number for the quarter, but it should be somewhat down as well. With sales almost 149M it should be something around 151M.
