That must be the amount the scalpers bought.

This week is 2 weeks after FFVIIR Release.

Inquiring minds.  I haven't had a OG switch in stock from the major retailers (Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Costco, GameStop) within 250+ miles of me in over 2 weeks.

Even more impressive then. It is holding well and in the end perhaps FFVII will have push over 500k consoles very late in the life of the console.

Yep, I remember tales of Wii being out of stock straight up for like 2 or 3 years, and still it was breaking weekly records every now and then.

but that isn't true. the official data reported by gameindustry has shown a massive increase in retail vg sales throughout this period at least in the uk. even last week, the worst week so far since quarantine, sales were apparently notably better than they normally are around this time of the year: link 

"Overall, the boxed market remains relatively resilient with over 200,000 games sold in the UK last week. This is still above the typical quiet week before the lockdown was declared -- where the weekly numbers were around 150,000. However, it's a drop off from the first few weeks of the lockdown, when more than 350,000 boxed games were being sold every week."

Your link backs what I said as it shows here retail sales are down in recent weeks, the increase over last year can even be attributed to how the same period last year had a Yoshi game as the only release while this year had Animal Crossing over sales would be down even further.

Switch is going to do 22-24 million this year. Even with the new consoles coming, I don't see holiday sales falling any this year because it's affordable. It would also be an ideal time for a price cut or even better a bundle.

Damn, already 50% more than last year and twice as much as 2017 for the Switch. And even 1M more than the PS4 during it's best years!

Remember when some users kept swearing that because Pokemon dropped last year and, "all of their heavy hitters are behind them" that sales would slow moving forward?
