So the Switch will now try to catch up on the 3DS before it gets it's pricecut. That pricecut really boosted 3DS sales a lot

Switch will have around 3 months more before 3DS gets price cut in same time period (including Splatoon 2 launch), so Switch will definitely catch up with 3DS before 3DSs price cut.

So far so true. But will the Switch keep up after the 3DS got it's pricecut?

Hardly, 3DS had huge boost because price cut, Switch numbers will be good in any case.

Kinda funny that the Switch LTD is still behind the Wii U. I guess that's because it was a worldwide launch and they simply don't have as much stock for Japan as they did with the Wii U.

No its not, Switch with (Apr 24 - Apr 30) week past Wii U numbers in same time.

Hey, would you update this chart if you've got the time? Love your charts!

Thanks! Great work! :)

Looking at the accumulated, it almost looks like Switch is on it's best way trying to catch the 3DS. I hope the 45k-ish baseline can keep up for a while longer, but it might dip, before Splatoon, despite ARMS releasing. Would be amazing if it could keep it up though.

I think Switch will hold 40-50k baseline until Splatoon2 arives, and than I hope Nintendo will have enuf unist of Switch for Splatoon2 launch. :)
