The coronavirus is having a huge affect on Switch Y-o-Y sales thanks to the shortages in Japan. Even though it's still up 11% YoY this far, earlier in February the Switch was up over 20% YoY and just 14% last week. And unfortunately it seems like it's only going to go downhill from here once the shortages hit the U.S and Europe and certain countries go on lockdown.
Hopefully this won't have a major affect on Switch sales long term and they'll rebound back better than ever once this dilemma ends, however only time will tell.
