Look at DroidKnight’s visual to see this gradual decline. There was a peak at launch and another peak at DKBananza; all else has been WoW drops. Gradual decline doesn’t mean every week is lower than the last, but rather there is a general downward trajectory. The DKBananza figures are not evidence of supply shortage in hardware; all that shows is DKBananza was a hotly anticipated game that drove demand for a couple of weeks. In fact, that Nintendo was able to match DKBananza with such large JP hardware supply could serve as evidence toward there not being a supply shock but a demand shock.

Also, all, what I’m saying is not at all controversial. I think the word “concern” is what too many are getting hung up on. It should not be crazy to say that the recent downward trajectory might indicate ambiguity in NS2’s legs. Are you really telling me that NS2 will be an unambiguous smash hit? Going above 3DS and NSW’s first few years? I believe it is likely, but the present data is painting an inconclusive story.

My point is that it is of course far too early to speculate about Switch 2 longterm legs, given that Nintendo as of yet haven't even met the initial 2 million MNS preorders in Japan, they haven't even met launch demand in the country, so its not really possible to predict how legs will be in a few years time.

agreed!
