Switch 1 still doing pretty well. Now that the Switch 2 is totally out of the shadows with the reveal yesterday, i wonder what Nintendo's plan for the Switch 1.
With the different price range, i wonder if they will keep it on the market for a bit or if they will just move on to the new model quickly to avoid confusion.

Looks like a couple of new games in the top 10 this week, but nothing too out of the ordinary.

Basically the same as last week so I wonder how much longer the Switch can stay at this level of sales since people are gonna quickly learn that the Switch 2 is just a couple months away. For the Switch 2 it's notable how relatively cheap it is in Japan so that'll help it be another huge success there though its price increase over the Switch is still relatively big there thanks to the yen declining a lot recently so that'll hurt it and help the Switch out at least a tad.

Something working against the Switch 2's sales more is the relatively cheap one only having Japanese as a language and the multi-language system being 20k yen more expensive to match the exchange rate and crack down on exporting. It doesn't seem to be known how many Switch's from Japan were exported but if they're doing that then it wouldn't be surprising if it's full on millions of them so that alone probably guarantees the Switch 2 selling less than the Switch in Japan without even taking into account all the other reasons why that was almost surely gonna happen. It'll still sell extremely well in Japan though with it have a good shot of being the 4th console to reach 30m and software sales won't really impacted by it so that part will hold up better for overall another huge success.

The price fir Switch 2 is low enough in Japan that we really shouldn't expect Switch 1 sales to continue at there current rate without a hefty price cut... which should be imminent if it's happening.

Next week will be the last week with these kind of numbers for the Switch. Then it will be a slow downtrend, unless it gets a price cut, I don't see many people going out to buy it when the successor that's basically a S1 and a S2 comes out this soon.

36M lifetime in Japan might be the ceiling now if they don't drop the price

The Switch 2 should perform very well in Japan. Especially given its reasonable price point compared to other regions. It seems like Nintendo wants to defend their advantage in their home territory.

I do think software sales will trend more digital though, so these charts are going to become more boring and less reliable unless digital sales are fully tracked.

Entry level for the ecosystem would be the intelligent thing, because the bulk of new Switch 2 games for the next year, at least, will also be upgraded Switch games. The generational line for Nintendo is blurred this time around thanks to Nintendo finally making a console that advances, rather than replaces, the existing ecosystem. May as well leverage it rather than leaving money on the table.

I think a miss on their end was no Switch TV. I don't expect it now, but it's not too late.
