Like how you're changing people's intentions into malicious ones rather than them not understanding the post or disagreeing?

Sure, that's exactly what's happening here.

It's Nonsense only if you agree that Nintendo is stupid. Why would they launch at christmas if they didn't have the hardware to sell as many as people would buy? They were smarter than most people give them credit for, they held back the launch to gain mindshare through social media and internet news cycles. The only responses I have read up until these last few were related to "Huh?". If you think that the posters on this site are proven to want well thought out opinions, then your response proves otherwise. Most people here want the same thing from everybody. Say something they agree with or your an idiot. Most of the responders simply didn't understand the OP or disagreed and responded as such. If people need the post to include charts and pictures along with a quote from Pachter to make fun of, then they will find that I didn't bother. I will say that almost no response was filled with any counter logic until just now. So I replied. |
I agree with you here, just not the thread title and a the OP to back it up.
You are suggesting something different here, that Nintendo chose March to make sure they have enough units to go around. But Sony and MS also choose launch dates to make sure they have manufactured enough units. It's just a normal business thing to do.
The hardest thing for you a company to do is gauge the demand for their product which they would monitor during the run up to launch.

Oh good, so we understand each other then
It wouldn't surprise me that the title of this thread would have been that "Nintendo is manufacturing short supply" if it instead would be the case that they couldn't meet demand :).

Just so that people know, Switch didn't launch in March because there wouldn't have been enough hardware produced for a holiday 2016 launch, it launched in March because a holiday 2016 launch would have led to a software drought post-launch. That's Nintendo's official explanation to investors why Switch missed the holidays. And given that both the 3DS and Wii U lost momentum because of software droughts right after their respective launch, Nintendo's stance on this matter makes perfect sense. |
Yeah good point. I didn't see the official reasons given to investors.
