Considering that last year Nintendo released SM3DW+BF that week, -16.5% from last year is pretty impressive

Every single system is selling more in North America than in Europe or Japan. I live in the US. I can tell you that every time I go to a Walmart, Target, Gamestop, etc... I look at what systems are available and most of them are in limited supply in some way. I have yet to see a Series X, PS5 or Switch OLED at an actual retail store yet. However, Series S and the other Switch systems are pretty easy to find nowadays.

Americans are eager to play every system nowadays.

So Sony held back on to some stock to release alongside Horizon, the way Nintendo often do with their major releases?
Or is hardware getting a bump same week as Forbidden West just a coincidence as sales are entirely dictated by production/shipping?

I am guessing they held some back for this week. There was a boost in the US, UK, and Japan.

Switch sales are impressing me. It doing over 20m for this year is looking increasingly guaranteed barring shortages getting worse.

Could Switch pass the Gameboy before PS4?

With how low PS4 shipments now are it is VERY unlikely the PS4 will outsell the Game Boy. 

Big release for the PS5 and yet it's stock situation must still be quite abysmal if they can only barely manage to do a bit more than half of what the Switch is currently doing.
