In advance of next week's GTC and GDC trade shows, Nvidia discussed Blackwell availability, where it specifically stated that it has shipped twice as many Blackwell GPUs in the first five weeks as it did Ada GPUs for the first five weeks in 2022 — but that's effectively comparing only the RTX 4090 against four RTX 50-series GPUs launched this year.

It sounds like success, but Nvidia's careful wording masks how little there is that's actually worth bragging about.
