Does anyone from Scandinavia know how strong was the Wii hype back in the day?

I'm hyped for the Switch. Mostly because of Zelda though.

Everybody is usually hyped about a new console but I usually wait after 2 years before I jump on the hype and see if Nintendo will be serious about their support.

lack of appealing Western games

As if Japanese-made games have never had appeal in the West.

No joke ? Made me feel very old lol

What are you trying to say?

If you are doing well, you want it to be known. If you aren't doing well, you want to make business analysis harder and distort reality to make yourself look better. That's why Sony keeps shouting about their PS4 sales numbers while Microsoft has resorted to different numbers for their XB1.

So if HTC doesn't want to disclose their Vive numbers, what would that mean?

What I'm saying is, why do so many people on this forum make large, sweeping statements based on a hilariously rudimentary understanding of finance and businesses as a whole?

If you can't grasp what my point is from what I said, I'm not going to bother to explain to you why you don't release your figures on new products when you have a small number of competitors, other than to say "google it".

Basically, you don't know much about any of that so you can't possibly explain it.

Serious about their support? You can bet on that one a 100%.

If they are not going to support their only device, they would have effectively have left the console/handheld race.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

I would be hyped if I could afford it

Or, I can't be bothered to explain basic economics to people whose evaluation of sales figures comes down to "it dont look like a big numba". 

Try using google. Here, I'll give you a headstart: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/19/201.6

I was thinking more based on sales figures/NPD/Media Create results rather than arguing about whether it's the supply or demand that isn't enough.

You are young, Ka-pi. But I was here for the Wii and Nintendo got accused of deliberately undershipping despite the Wii having one big NPD month after another and a baseline of 60k units weekly in Japan. That was in 2007, but I don't think that human behavior changes over time. Individuals change, sure, but they'll be replaced by younger people who commit the same mistakes.

People said that in the earlier months, but once you got to the middle of 2007, I don't think that was case. Something that was selling so consistently with high numbers couldn't have been deliberate. There were many asking why Nintendo wasn't ramping up production to meet demand, but the biggest critics were people asking if it deserved to or was going to crash out later on.
