If it were the super hot commodity people would be still getting them. I know people that were buying over priced ps4s and selling them for even higher prices. My point is anyone going off these numbers are delusional

Because it's not as constantly sold out as people think. They're on Walmart.com and target.com. I check every few days and they're always there. For some reason people use amazon like it's the end all be all. It's just another excuse. Angry replies in 3, 2, 1......

Out of stock in walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Switch-Gaming-Console-with-Gray-Joy-Con/55449983 and nowhere to be found at Target https://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=nintendo%20switch%20console As well as these places; http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nintendoswitch/

Unless you wanna buy it an inflated price, your not getting one. Until you can go to most places have it basically available all the time at it's retail price, it's your exuses that are getting old.

And yet, according to VGC, it's selling 50k a week in the US. I guess people are buying those tens of thousands in the couple of hours that the Switch is in stock online...

I guess it's being outsold by PS4. In the end that's what matters

Is fine that VGC is trying to compensate for the undertracked Ps4 numbers, but at the end of the day we are getting false data and from false data we can reach false conclusions. There is no way in Earth Ps4 sold +150k on Europe that week, is funny to see some people acting like this actually happened though.

I mean look for yourself, it gets new shipments very week, in most cases new stock pops somewhere everyday even, but it's never there for long sometimes hours or even just minutes. http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nintendoswitch/full_history.php

With the moderators saying that the numbers won't be adjusted for the 60.4m figure till after the figures for that week have been posted it's a confusing situation.

If it's constantly sold out, how did it sell 144k? It's just available in stores.

I just checked walmart.com and it shows more than $100 markup on base Switch models. target.com doesn't show any consoles.

Sad, really, how easy it is to see that you're trolling.

PS4 is a monster not a fair comparison, only Ps2 will end ahead of Ps4. 

 

Switch should be compared to Ps1 and Wii, that would be fair, I think 100M is doable.
