I assumed this was for the release week and didn't even look at the date. Wow that's even more impressive!

Switch sales are up nearly 40% in 2020! I don't expect the Switch to maintain 40% YoY growth for the rest of the year, but even a 25% growth YoY would be extremely impressive especially when the Switch already sold a strong 20 Million Consoles in 2019 alone. If Switch were to somehow maintain the 40% growth YoY for the rest of the year, the Switch would sell 28 Million in 2020 alone!

Seriously... Switch is a killer! I really wonder how bigger the numbers would be with all that COVID problems and the shortages! They should find a way to cover the demand and keep growing!

Is it possible that the Switch sales in the U.S were somewhat limited due to the shortages of the regular switch?
