I was referring more specifically to PS5 here but I guess that Xenoblade's release could cause the Switch to hover around 40k for a week or so. I fully expect the Switch to continue its decline thereafter.

Ah ok that makes sense. Based on what you said a few weeks ago I thought you were expecting Switch sales to return to that as a baseline by the end of the month but I guess that was just an incorrect interpretation.

No, you're right, I remember that post.  My Switch numbers were too high for a baseline.  It was more to illustrate the state of the two consoles in the region:  That after the Monster Hunter effect has come and gone for PS5, just a smaller release on Switch (Xenoblade) would be enough to put console sales back to how they were.  And it might for a couple of weeks, but Switch will naturally decline afterwards.
