another reason to never go off of vgchartz. PS4 is severely undertracked. European gamers know what the best system is. The supply excuse is getting old.

How is it an excuse? Nintendo themselves said they were increasing production numbers significantly. No company does that unless things are selling out. switch is doing amazing in France and selling out in most of the world quick. It's not some made up nonsense. The Wii had the second problem and it went on to sell over 100 million units.

It's an excuse. Oh well it doesn't matter. It'll compete for 2nd place

How is it an excuse when it is actually happening?

Oh no, Switch. Why less than 200K? Nintendo, get more stuff produced!

Also: Congrats PS4, some great numbers.

Comparing with the previous week, I'd say Nintendo pushed a lot of stock for MK8D's release but then suffered even bigger than normal shortage of stock after that week.

Or, if you want to conspiracy theory version: Nintendo is trying to artically limit stock even more to see if it leads to even bigger sales.

Ah, I understand how this works, somehow like this:



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

It's Nintendo, so it is an excuse in any case.

The denial is real xD

Don't worry, stock issues are not gonna be forever, you are gonna have plenty of time to see there was no excuse.

Don't bother arguing with ignorance. It'll be easier for him to build his own world to live in while in the real world Nintendo is thriving.
