HARDWARE

Wonder what’s up with sales being down across the board? Same thing happened this week last year also, it seems. Must be something to do with the Odon holiday?

The Switch 2 almost below 20k =O

If you have time, could you do the YoY chart update this week? Thanks.

Those Switch 2 numbers are concerning to me. 

I wonder what the lowest weeks in Japan HW are. 33k combined is pretty low.

That is a rough week for hardware

Next week PS5 breaks 7.7M mark. Switch 2 should rebounce. Switch 1 hitting 37M within month or two.

Bad sales all round. Switch 1 last year almost matched Switch 2 this year.

A swich 2 lite would be helpful in japan i think. It's def still suffering from the price hike and the big sales in the spring kinda made up for it.

Bleak...
