Regular Switch has been supply constrained, however, the Switch Lite had plenty of stock. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the people who wanted to buy a regular Switch had to buy a Switch Lite instead. |
I think it's safe to say that if both models were plenty supplied and no global epidemic was going on we could have seen a higher number.
How is that possible? is the differnce really that big? that seems borerline insane to me.
AC and Pokemon should lead to a hefty FY report although that was delayed due to CV.

Japan saw the biggest jump in sales. Famitsu had Switch sales jumping to nearly 400,000 units. |
Holy cows.... Japan is like "now is a excellent time to go play Animal crossing" :)
Animal Crossing is full blown insane now. Obviously, in Japan it moved a lot of hardware. But even in Europe Switch sales are far above PS4.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is going to be considered a cultural event at this point. As in the phrase: "What did you do while stuck at home during the pandemic?" "I played Animal Crossing."
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

All my friends with a Switch have purchased the game. I'm the only Switch owner I know that has no interest in the game. |
I bought my daughter a Switch Lite about a couple of weeks ago, and then she bought Animal Crossing from Amazon not long afterward. I'm currently playing through my backlog, so while I'm not playing Animal Crossing, I will still have it in my house.

How did Animal Crossing do THAT much for the Switch?! Geez I severely underestimated how it would effect Switch sales. I don't think even Pokemon helped the Switch this much. Well I am one of the customers who bought Animal Crossings (my first game of the series). Congrats Switch!

To think that the Switch is already within striking distance of the 3DS in terms of sales is pretty mind-blowing. That system had a longer lifespan than most and did super well for a lot of that time. I know there's at least 10m or so difference still, but considering how short the system has been out that's nothing and will be surpassed in no time.
