Nintendo probably diverted more stock to the West then Japan for the OLED/MD launch.

180k is still commendable, hopeful the baseline stays relatively high in subsequent weeks.

Wow, cliff delayed.

So with this week Switch 2021 makes up half the deficit with 2020 in Japan YTD. The thing to see now is how quickly Nintendo can restock the OLED, and how many they can provide when they do. To me that's what will determine which year will sell better in Japan.

That's quite different from what we heard of UK, where the OLED model sold much better than the Lite at launch.

The sales of the regular Switch and the Lite are almost the same as last week.

Having multiple SKUs does that.

Can't find an OLED here in the states. Shortage seems really.

Solid Dread launch.
Decent OLED launch. Expected Switch to be more like 200k - 250k but it ain't bad. Hopefully next week will be equally as big with a full week on the market.

Very interested in global first week numbers for both Switch OLED launch and Dread launch. I would guess Dread will be 600k+ and Switch 700k+ for the week.

Happy to see Metroid did this well, the way it's probably above 100k when including digital sales

Those Switch numbers are great but I thought it'd do at least 200k :p

Like the Wii U?

I still haven't even gotten my preorder from Walmart.  I think they took more preorders than they had units coming unfortunately.

As for Japan, if they had to have lotteries for units, it makes sense for the OLED to have lower launch numbers than the Lite.  After all, the Lite didn't release during a global parts shortage.  Hopefully that means the demand will remain steady and therefore spread the boost out longer than normal for a revision.
