I'm guessing Switch OLED inventory is still an issue. Sold out here.

Wow, below 400k!

I hope Nintendo secured chunks of units enough for the holiday period, but with this semiconductors shortages I don't know

Seems like the drop on Switch numbers were smaller than expected. And good to see the PS5 and Series outdoing their predecessors.

Here was my US Oct 2021 guess last week after week 1.

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.

Actuals so far:

Week 1 293K

Week 2 138K

If VGC numbers hold up, the Switch NPD OCT 2021 has a solid shot at topping NPD OCT 2020.  Only needs about 300K in the next two weeks - all dependent on supply.

Predictable drop for Switch if you asked me, though I think I said 450 in the other thread, because of the chip shortages but also because of the shortage that usually happens immediately after a popular product launch. Switch weekly sales should rise again when supply comes, maybe even as soon as next week. Still, wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be a undertracked a bit.

Series X|S continues to sell great. Will be interesting to see the push Forza and Halo will have for the holidays and beyond.

Could've been worse honestly, with supply how it is. In addition to just getting units on shelves, they also have to start building up a stockpile for the holiday season.



Bet with Liquidlaser: I say PS5 and Xbox Series will sell more than 56 million combined by the end of 2023. (And over 130 million lifetime)

There also just may not have been as big of an audience for the switch OLED. Maybe the early adopters were most of the wave that was gonna buy that system at least immediately. Itll sell but I dunno if it'll be some huge permanent boost

No, stock is a huge issue, that's not debatable.

As for huge permanent boost, I don't think anyone is expecting that.
