Switch almost half the numbers from last year. Not strange though, there's so much it can sell to one country, before saturation hits.

PS5 up compared to last year, shortages make comparisons pointless sadly, same with the Series X/S.

Saturation is not even close of being true yet. It’s ahead of all the other years. 2021 had state of emergency which made Q1 have abnormal sales

edit: read below. I posted The other years in comparison

When looking at NSW sales, no one should be comparing it to 2021 sales. Need to look at the other years for a better picture.

What are the numbers for 2020?

Week 3 NSW

2018: 38.7k

2019: 71.7k

2020: 96.5k

First 2.5 months or so of Switch '22 should be compared to 2020 (this is the pre-AC period) when sales were high but not AC/pandemic mega high. Then the rest of the year we should compare to 2021 which was still very good but couldn't keep up with 2020. Basically the slower part of '20 and the slower part of '21. As the sales this year will come in somewhere between those two years (around 21-22 million probably).

So for now comparing sales with 2020 is appropriate, up until the AC launch week when we should switch to 2021 weekly comparisons.

Nice, pretty stable then but this also considering there is an OLED model avail. Regardless these are incredible sales.

how is that relevant? The DS got the DSL and the PS4 the slim etc etc
this very fictional scenario, what if there was no OLED? would sales have dropped? likely, but not towards the current OG drop

Switch is cooling off, which is expected. It will pass ps1 but not ps2. Still a major success. It will top out around 125 million.

It is virtually impossible for the Switch to sell less than 135m at this point. It may not pass the PS2 in the end, but if Nintendo launches Switch 2 in 2024 or later, then I believe it will.
