It was in the official PR sent out to clients. 

Some media outlets chose to post it.

Source one says "suggests" with no link back and source two doesn't say 102% at all.

Also, I linked to the official PR.  It just says "more than 100%".

I'm just looking for Nintendo saying it.

 

I can tell you I'm not lying. I already said that this is from the official PR sent out to clients. 

 

Any poster that knows my credentials will be able to back me up.

Please understand my intention is not to proclaim you as a liar.  It is merely to confirm proffered information.

Is the diseminated PR email different that the one published by Businesswire?

 

The businesswire PR is from Nintendo quoting NPD and internal data.

The PR I'm talking about is from NPD quoting NPD data. 

 

The NPD data says that the attach rate of Zelda packaged software to Nintendo Switch was 99%.

Nintendo says Zelda Switch sold over 925k including digital sales.

The Switch sold 906k.

You do the math.

I'm genuinely not sure if you're trolling or not now.

You've posted this multiple times yourself- http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170413006259/en/Nintendo-Switch-Fastest-Selling-Video-Game-System-Nintendo

Go back and read my posts again.  The asterisk only states *Data regarding physical sales of games are from the NPD Group. Data regarding digital downloads of games and combined physical/digital life-to-date numbers are from Nintendo’s internal sales figures.

The only numbers given are 906,000 Switch units excplicitly stated from NPD and 925,000 BotW for Switch 460,000 BotW for Wii U but neither are excplicitly stated as either Nintendo internal figures or NPD.  They only reference the asterisk which doesn't clarify.

All I'm trying to do is get that clarification.

This will be my final post on the matter given that you're ignoring the data presented. 

If Switch sold 906,000 units and NPD says Zelda packaged software attached rate is 99%, how can it have sold 925k? 

 

Nintendo numbers always include digital in its PR. Even during the Wii U era. 

If you're not familar with how Nintendo PR works then fair enough. But please don't ignore facts.

So basically someone at GAF knows the numbers over but isn't sharing.

Yup

Yeah, if he shares the actual numbers, he'll get in a lot of trouble. NPD employees visited Aquamarine's workplace because of that.

You know it jus tmake syou wonder.....WHY though.....I mean why is that information such a tight secret? You would think it held the cure to cancer in the numbers or something because they just do not want people to know......



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
