Sadly for Nintendo, the coronavirus is still impacting distribution of the original Switch model resulting in a disappointing 4,424 sales this week - quite the contrast from the 50,000+ totals we're used to seeing. The Switch Lite is selling better than usual as a result, however. Here are this week's figures, followed by lifetime sales in brackets:

Nintendo Switch: 4,424 (10,881,146)
PlayStation 4: 9,584 (7,425,829)
PlayStation 4 Pro: 4,187 (1,451,362)
Xbox One S: 60 (20,939)
Xbox One X: 29 (19,028)

Nintendo Switch Lite: 46,161 (1,470,226)
New Nintendo 2DS LL: 1,220 (1,115,440)
