PS5 and XBSeries both doing great in hardware sales so far, though not so much in software. Switch getting a bit slow this summer compared to how it has been, though definitely possible people are waiting to get the OLED model. Mario Party + OLED + Pokemon D&P remake should blow the holiday quarter out of the water but this quarter will be slow compared to what Switch has done since the start of 2020.

Bad week for Switch (not in sales, but in comparison to 2020). I guess it must be the response to the OLED version.

Thanks for the information. And do you know why? Is it a stock shortage in Japan again?

OK, thanks for your quick response! It seems that not only Switch sales has fallen in Japan these last two weeks, also PS5 and XS... Maybe there is a general stock shortage in Japan (pure speculation). Or maybe with the olympic games they are already too distracted... Well, with the preparations.

Yes, but I mean 2 weeks or earlier (June, by the way). Switch has gone from averages of 75-85 to 64, PS5 from 15-23 to 10, and XS from 2-4 to 1-1.5. Although you're right that SX sales in Japan are too low to be able to affirm a decline...

Handhelds seem to be more popular in Japan than the rest of the world, so people are probably waiting for the Switch OLED, which is obviously more tailored to people who prefer handheld mode.

Daniel Ahmad says Xbox had sold 6.5 million by June 30. He's usually really reliable, I think you should change your numbers.

Thank you very much for your hard work boss. I'm sorry to ask this, but when can we get PS5 vs Wii. For the sake of faster console to milestones 10-70 mil. Again, thank you very much.
