Damn, big numbers. Sod all for EU though.

this holiday is going to be dry

So I guess the difference with last year shrinked from 1.5 million to 1.2 million. And since the console is sold out pretty much everywhere, I guess the gap will keep shrinking.

This is absolutely massive. I hope the gap YoY will keep shrinking like it has this week.

As for Metroid Dread numbers... hope we'll hear soon about shipments from Nintendo PI.

Metroid Dread for a Metroid game has had a great launch. It just isn't anywhere near as big as Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc.

Huge OLED launch

Okay, I still think long-term the OLED won't be as big of a bump as people think, but I fully admit to having my foot in my mouth on those launch numbers. Well done, I stand corrected! And perhaps I will stand corrected again on the OLED long-term.

I dont think there has been many people expecting a massive long term boost from the OLED model, just that it would be a big ticket item this holiday season and help soften the inevitable YoY decline next year.

This exactly.

The main debate has been whether Switch would be up or down this year compared to 2020.  At this point I think it's going to be up.  And considering how well Switch did last year, that makes it a good candidate for breaking the all time annual sales record this year.  Switch had phenomenal sales last year, but it had a fairly weak holiday compared to the rest of the year.  So 2021 may be down YoY so far, but not by a huge margin.  That will likely change to up YoY soon.  With OLED + Pokemon, the main limitation for sales this year will probably be how many Switches Nintendo can supply.
