Switch 2 Shipment figures will likely be strong this quarter for the following reasons:

* Nintendo already sold through more consoles than they shipped last quarter, meaning they have had a shrinking sell through/shipment gap recently.
* Japanese shipments will be high this quarter due to the ultra strong sell through happening this month due to the combined effect of golden week and the looming price increase late May.
* This quarter will also include the start of the new choose your game Switch 2 bundle in the US.
* This quarter will very likely include a Nintendo general direct, and that could lead to increased Switch 2 sales in various markets depending on which games are announced.

Yeah April-June should be strong; it's after that that things get interesting, as we don't know their lineup passed July, plus the price hike in September.

A lot will hinge on what they've got in store for the holidays and whether it will be big enough to push people to drop $500.
