Most of these launch prices are wrong, are they adjusted in some way?

I've gone through the numbers and at most only a few thousand. If I split the 4 weeks of April data evenly we have it hitting 2M in week 127.

Yeah. So at worst we have it hitting 2M 1 week too soon. But it would just barely cross the mark. Which is why at worst we are only talking 3K overtrack.

Switch only had one model. Xbox had a super cheap model, hardly a fair comparison.
