what signs in Japan? I think you honestly just like attention |
some people can't see the signs, but 43k a week already with stock left over is a sign for me, but of course you are free to think what you want.

What stock? Which stores? Please provide concrete evidence other than anecdotal mumblings on the internet. Amazon's restock sold out in like 3-4 days last week, Switch Neon was selling for over 41,000 yen over the weekend. To me that shows demand is still high, even without any major releases. Please don't let your desire for Switch to fall off a cliff cloud logic

Finally, when asked if Nintendo has already solved Switch’s stock issues, Kimishima said that for the time being, as we enter the new year this still hasn’t been completely solved. Though in Japan, the situation is more along the lines where customers don’t have to wait multiple days, and if they can’t buy it in one store they can find the system at another. In other words, Switch still has its stock issues, but the situation has improved.

It has averaged 44k for the last 5 weeks, lets say it continues that weekly thru Sept.
44x38=1.672
Now add week 1 which was 146k
We are already over 1.8m in the first 9 months, slightly higher than 2017.
Now lets just for a second pretend that major software releases cause a boost in sales (i know, unheard of).
Yeah, Switch will be comfortably up compared to 2017.

You bolded what you wanted and ignored the very last sentence, why? You're extremely biased and transparent.

Read the last sentance.

There is a large middleground between easy to find and sold out, Switch in Japan is in that middleground. Its not sold out for days at a time but it still sells out quickly and you still have to actively look for one instead of just walk into any store and find a pile of them.

Still desperately searching for that cliff ? so far there is no indication of any fall in demand for the switch.

Because nintendo is doing a shit job shipping consoles there, they shipped 3.72 million by DEC 31, according to media create they still haven't sold that much, evidence is strongly suggesting artificial shortages.

Um ok.
At its current 44k baseline followed by a standard holiday boost than it will be up YOY in Japan.
So if we apply the same "drop in demand" than it will be up YOY throughout the world.
And again this assumes no future software raises this baseline.
