Expected decline for Switch, with the Lite now starting to become the best selling model since the more expensive models are going to become obsolete from a consumer perspective even with the S2 price so much higher.
S2 sales dropped 84% week 2, that seems pretty awful, but maybe stock was limited? Will be interesting to watch how sales continue after the huge launch in the weeks to come and also perhaps during slow periods between big game launches, considering the sky high price.
Also software sales show that Mario Kart is pretty clearly the only game worth buying on the system so far. Nintendo desperately needs DK and needs to hope it's a popular game otherwise it's 4 months from now until probably the next major game (Pokemon) comes out. Will be very interesting to watch hardware sales over this several month fairly dry period right after the record breaking launch. We'll see if there is a steady flow of buyers or if the record breaking launch was all just people desperate for a new system and then people holding back from the high prices waiting for a stronger library before considering buying.
