Sales of video game machines fell across the board entering the first week of October with New 2DS LL dropping the hardest of them all. Only two machines saw positive growths for the week between September 28 to October 4 which are the Switch and PS4 machines. The two saw better week-on-week sales projected. Sales of PS4 rose nearly 60% that week while Switch saw a rise of 36%. Their partners (Switch Lite and PS4 Pro) however, experienced a minor dip in sales.
