As m'y post Said, most consoles were sold out for their second week, but that doesnt change thé fact that is always thé same that first week > second week> Third week> fourth week > etc until the week of à Big release( Mario kart here) and manufacturers know that.

That was true for 3DS, ps4, Vita, all thé consoles from february/march( less true for WiiU for thé Third/fourth week thanks to Christmas ) and that will bé true for Switch.

 

They give stock according to thé demand, so when you kkow thé market After years of looking at launches, you know that if they gave this much its Because they knew it wouldnt have sold much more, better to give just enough that to give Bad impression that there are a lot of stock left for thé first weeks 

Do they, though? Sony sure didn't with ps4 being sold out for months. Ninty could possibly be facing similar problems especially considering how much stock they allocated in places like Europe where it even beat the ps4 (in some countries). I think they don't have much stock in Japan because of that.

Only talking about Japanese market here, they wouldnt Want to give less than whats nécessary in Japan.

 

Trust me, its the same thing at every Japanese  launch on this period, sold out then WE believe thé sales will increase when thé stock will Côme but they dont every time, then After thé fourth week of sales going down , Nintendo not giving more than whats nécessary , people will bélieve they have to keep stock beczuse they cant get enough for Mario kart release so they will really believe that even thé second/third week of april thé sales will bé what they are beczuse of supply problems. Its liké people forget how are Japanese launches

We live this at every launch( PSV,3DS,PS4), people who dont understand thé console will sell Bad until it gets à constant flow of releases.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

2 weeks of Horizon > 5 weeks of Nioh in JAPAN. Who saw that coming.

KH 1.5+2.5 claiming #2 was destined to happen.

Of course, it is a re-release of re-release. Square Enix should stop blue balling its fanbase with all of these spin offs and re-releases and start to seriously consider release KH 3, this century if possible.

  Retailers reported that a small shipment would come around march 7th which according to some GAFers were being sold through raffles in most stores, that's probably it.

 

  Nintendo reports said they would ship 2m units ACROSS march, not day one, so using the superdata numbers nintendo has only around 500 k units left to ship in this month worldwide.

That's assuming that SuperData is correct. Also, Nintendo said that they will increase shipment numbers if the demand is there. No doubt they've increased those numbers.

   No, they didn't, otherwise it wouldn't be 95% sold through this week.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in.

Switch isnt holiday and ita very supply limited at least for the week

So, the Switch is actually a flop, relatively speaking? It has the worst second week of all these systems -- and it is behind Wii U and Wii already. Can't see the trend reversing now?
