Bad sales all round. Switch 1 last year almost matched Switch 2 this year.

I also remember people declaring the Switch "dead" because it was only selling around 20k a week.  What does that say about the Switch 2 when it is selling like this and it is supposed to be in its prime?  Did the Switch 2 already peak or will it recover next year?  It did have some amazing sales right before the price increase, but sales since have been pathetic.

I think it depends of the Japanese economy.

If inflation keeps going up and value of the Yen down while the debt repayments continue to rise, Japan's economy is in for a rough couple of years to recover from that, and this will inevitable have a negative effect on console sales.

If they can stabilize the Yen and the inflation, then the Japanese economy should rise up again, and with it, console sales.

But which one of the two it's gonna be, I don't know. Though so far it looks like we're on the path for number 1...
