Hopefully they're hoarding Switch stock for the holiday rush cos being supply constrained at 65k in October isn't a good sign.

I wish Michael Pachter would look at those numbers. The Switch Light still makes only 1/4 of all Switch sales, even in the handheld dominated japanese market. In the other markets the handheld factor should even play a less important role. Not a good idea to stop the production of the regular model...

NSW 26 (8 third party)
PS4 4 (3 third party)

Switch domination continues.  That includes third party domination.  8/11 = 73% of the third party games are Switch games.  It will be interesting to see if there is any significant change to this when the PS5 launches.  



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

The handheld side is Nintendo strongest side. But the hybrid system valorizes the handheld size, Pathter has a political view, and that political view is Nintendo alienate or own public.
