Expected decline for Switch, with the Lite now starting to become the best selling model since the more expensive models are going to become obsolete from a consumer perspective even with the S2 price so much higher.

S2 sales dropped 84% week 2, that seems pretty awful, but maybe stock was limited? Will be interesting to watch how sales continue after the huge launch in the weeks to come and also perhaps during slow periods between big game launches, considering the sky high price.

Also software sales show that Mario Kart is pretty clearly the only game worth buying on the system so far. Nintendo desperately needs DK and needs to hope it's a popular game otherwise it's 4 months from now until probably the next major game (Pokemon) comes out. Will be very interesting to watch hardware sales over this several month fairly dry period right after the record breaking launch. We'll see if there is a steady flow of buyers or if the record breaking launch was all just people desperate for a new system and then people holding back from the high prices waiting for a stronger library before considering buying.

Switch 2 weekly sales now will have nothing to do with lack of demand but with lack of stock. The fact that Switch 2 only sold 150K in Japan last week is not because there is a ton of unsold stock with no one wanting to buy it, it means that available stock in Japan was 150K and Nintendo sold out all available stock. This happens for all newly released consoles, after launch week sales collapse, not because demand collapsed but because stock after launch will always be lower than the launch stock.

you have no proof of this i have not seen anywhere that the switch 2 is sold out in japan. it is still in stock at most retailers

Wonder how long it will take the Switch2 to catch the PS5? 2 years perhaps?
