Switch 2 took a big hit but its sales this week are actually a bit higher than I was expecting since if I had to guess I would've thought it'd end up in the 20's this week. It's probably gonna generally do worse than the Switch 1 did going forward but its new baseline won't be bad by any means and it's already built up a significant install base in Japan so sales slowing a lot won't be the end of the world. 

Worth noting is that a 40k weekly baseline for NS2 would actually set it up quite similarly to NS1 at this point in 2018– Switch 1 wasn’t as hot during this time in JP.

That's why I expect the new baseline to fall between 25k and 35k. It'll still do well enough but from this point the Switch 1 should close the gap most weeks and eventually overtake it.
