Switch 2 getting adjusted down isn't ideal but 7m is still a good result everything considered. Things have slowed down a lot from the initial insane pace but that was never gonna last and it'll still reach the forecast easily and it's starting this year off strongly in Japan. Over the next stretch shipments will be decently similar to what the Switch 1 did in 2018 is my guess though stuff like the recent RAM insanity could hurt.

For the Switch 1 shipments are massively down YoY as expected so unless they decide to overship a bit in Q4 to make it it looks like it could fall a tad short of the 4m forecast since it would need to be down YoY less than expected to get there. It's become the best selling Nintendo console ever which is incredible but best selling console ever looks very out of reach now.

On the software side Mario Kart is wild as usual though DK is lower than I would've expected and Prime 4 not even charting is rough. The Switch 2 should thankfully have a much stronger holiday line-up this year and the Switch 1 hit some nice milestones such as 70m for MK8. As mentioned games like Legends Z-A counting as Switch 1 versions if bought digitally on the Switch 2 is really dumb since it would've been nice to know the actual splits for games like that. Also Curl the Switch 1 shipped 1.36m so you know. The OP currently says 1.26m.
