You’ve got to be kidding about it being concerning

Switch vs Switch 2 W1-329k vs 948k W2-62k vs 153k W3-50k vs 140k W4-78k vs 161k W5-45k vs 128k W6-41k vs 72k W7-46k vs 152k (DK week) W8-49k 92k W9-77k (MK week) vs 62k

Ofc figures are still very solid, but that’s a big % drop for WoW sales. Whereas NSW retained a steady 50-70k (with the caveat of there was a shortage), NS2 has dropped over 50% since week two. That’s a downward trajectory which *could* point toward weak legs. It’s a reasonable concern.

No it’s not, a higher start is naturally going to lead to a higher percentage decline on its way to reaching its baseline. Also, you should go back and look at Switch in 2017 because the 50-70k baseline that you mention absolutely does not hold.

W10-48k

W11-25k

W12-26k

W13-27k

W14-24k

W15-27k

W16-38k (ARMS)

W17-26k

W18-29k

W19-26k

W20-32k

W21-99k (Splatoon 2)

It basically goes through a 3 month streak of ~30k per week until Splatoon hits.
