Not bad for launching on a random week in September. It'll be interesting to see how it fares in its first holiday.

It'll also be interesting to see how the sales split between standard and lite, though I don't know if we'll get that info.

I sure hope we do. It'd be fascinating if the Lite became the strongest Switch hardware in Japan, with their love of portables.

Hey hey.... I've heard that 2 of them have had issues with controller drifting!! That's a disaster, I mean that's almost.... 1 in every 89k! RRoD levels of failure right there.

Well, they're essentially brand new right now. I hope that Ninty addressed the problem so that lites don't have drift problems in the long run. But, we won't know that for a while.
