Are there any numbers out there that separated the sales between the OG and Lite?

We do for Japan. The regular model is outselling the Lite model at roughly 4:1 ratio over there.

OG model heavily supplies constrained. And the lite available anywhere, BicCamera, yodobashi, etc

The guy is a waste of space. Can't believe he still has a job.

Almost as good as the legendary 'disappearing of Wii consoles prediction' back in '08.

So... who ended up being right on this one, Pachter or Nintendo and the market?

I havent seen the OG Switch in stock for the longest time while I'm still seeing the Lite, all the while the Switch sales continue to blow up.  Are there that many people buying the Lite that they don't care for the hybrid & joycon feature?

With the latest shipment numbers, it's currently 29.48m Hybrid to 13.52m Lite so about 2.18:1 for the hybrid.



Signature goes here!

Dumbest comment I have ever heard in gaming. I play my Switch 99% of the time on the TV. If it were handheld only, I would own one with my 40+ games.

Thanks! Looks like there's a market for the Lite but clearly both models should remain.

Doesn't seem like it to me. I literally bought 1 last week and it didn't seem supply constrained at all. Looked like there were plenty available.

Amazon (only 4 for third seller)

Yodobashi ( Suspend sales)

BicCamera (only switch lite available )

Yamada Denki (sold out - lite available)
