Looks like for Switch, this year's deficit compared to 2020 is less than 1 million at this point. With holidays coming soon, I think Switch will be able to close that gap.

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

Wow huge week for the Switch.

On IB Benji says OLED is already highly supply constrained in the US.  Oct NPD numbers will be something. 

Quick guess:

Week 1 293K (225K OLED / 70K Other) < Using VGC's USA figure

Week 2 120K (60K OLED / 60K Other)

Week 3 120K (70K OLED / 70K Other)

Week 4 200K (120K OLED / 80K Other) < Fresh shipment at the end of the month along with Mario Party

700-750K, maybe higher.  Think it'll be fairly competitive with Oct 2020.

Also I think there's a good chance the global October record as recorded by VGC is going to fall.

Highest I see is NSW 2020 with 1,960K followed by NDS 07 with 1,620K. Good shot for NSW to blow by 2,000K this October, only needs to average 366K next three weeks to take the crown.

Very convincing numbers for a 4.5 year old console. Next year should be pretty healthy with the already announced titles like Zelda BOTW 2, Splatoon 3, Kirby, Mario & Rabbids. The numbers in the next weeks should not fall below 350k, maybe even 400k.

It's not really about the console being 4.5 years old, but mostly that it sold more than 90 million by this point, so we could've expect to be close to saturation.

And yeah, next week numbers should be very high too, the OLED is nowhere to be found

Gap is actually 1.2 million. It did close by about 300,000 with the OLED launch. 

My bad.  I realize that I misread one sentence in your first post.

No worries. It happens.

I always misread titles as titties.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Very impressive OLED launch, way bigger than I thought.

Wonder what Sigmund would say about that.
