Anyway, Switch is going to do better than those suckers.

The first icon in the last row of the rich text editor lets you insert tables. Select the number of rows and columns you need, then fill it out with headers and content. When your mouse cursor is in the table, you can add/delete rows/columns with other icons that are found in the last row of the rich text editor, so it isn't a problem if you don't get the numbers right initially.

thanks, i updated it

NPD and Famitsu/Media Create are not 100%, you can't take their numbers and say that's 100% sell through, it is still and estimate. They don't literally count every single system sold.

Switch should do better because it has a real game in Zelda BoTW that can appeal to core players. They weren't dumb in launching with Nintendogs + Cats as the main launch title, if they had, it would be selling worse than the 3DS. 

But the first 2 million of any system sells fairly quick, even the Wii U cleared 2 million in sell through in about a month. If you restricted Wii U stock to only 2 million total, Nintendo could claim the same thing with Wii U (a complete sell out with shortages). 2 million is fairly easy to sell these days especially if you aren't competely incompetent. 

When they have shipped 4 million and are still experiencing complete sell out and you can't find the system anywhere, then that is a different story.

Yes I'm sure they'll sell out of their restock in Japan for this week. Because 2-2.2 million or whatever is simply not a lot of stock for a WW launch when you have an actual launch title Nintendo fans want. 

If they get to 4 million, 5 million and you still can't find one on storeshelves, then that's a different story. 



Tagged.

Will be an interesting comparison when the figures come in.



Tag, son.



Interesting numbers indeed, will need to wait for NA and EU numbers
