300k a week when they... have announced a new revision, people are still anticipating the pro and there is a pokemon edition coming in november. It might have been passed by 2020 for now but i feel like last year's holiday was a bit underwhelming in numbers and this year will surpass it easily.

So 300k should be the bottom for Switch before the OLED release.

Any idea why the switch's numbers are really inconsistent? From 350k to 280k to back to 320k

Honestly it is probably supply. the closer we get to the oled version the more likely we are going to see supply limits. Nintendo wants to sell the new model and have them out in decent numbers and any part used in the new one is a part not going into an older model.
