Those switch numbers are bonkers!



Around the Network

Switch dipped below 400k last week, so they make up for it this week with a whopping 570k+. I suppose it's November now, so perhaps that correlates with increased shipments?



Wow, crazy sales. I remember that it was just months ago when people were debating whether the Switch would be able to reach 3DS sales by year end.



Next week will be the first week the Switch isnt on top in a longgg time. Does anyone know what was the last time?



Jesus those Switch numbers. It has begun huh?

NSW 2020 has already passed NSW 2019 with 7-8 weeks to go.

Now a question rises, will the launch of the new consoles actually help the Switch have a better week than we might think ...

I'm not sure yet. The focus for this week's sales are the new consoles. From what I am seeing the Xbox Series X and S will have sold a decent amount over 1.2 million units on launch day.

It's also weird to think the sales of both next gen consoles will also plummet for a while due to deficient stocks,lol.

Both of them will be sold out through the holidays and likely through early 2021. After the initial demand starts to decrease both consoles will need continued game releases.

And that could help the Switch, being picked up by parents that couldn't find a PS5 or XsX|S.

But still, 500K this week is insane. Imagine what it could do during Black Friday.

It will be hard to find any consoles this holiday season. Switch demand is through the roof, the PS5 and Xbox Series Xand S being brand new will have limited stock, and the PS4 and Xbox One are on their way out. 

You're right.

Scalpers will have a great Holiday this year, sadly.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!
