Post holiday week hurts sales for sure.
But I don't think it's a surprise to anyone at this point that consoles are doing poorly globally because poor economy / the US regime's economic war against the world, continued rising prices of the HW, Sony/Xbox getting closer to saturation point, and Switch2 just having a very weak first party lineup so far and also not being affordable like how the Switch was.
In Japan specifically the entire market was previously looking fine thanks entirely to Switch 2, the one strong market for the system, but Nintendo killed that with the price raise. A $100-cheaper S2 Lite and major popular games in Japan can revive things in Japan at least, but those things might not start hitting for another year.
