You stole my bit!

Awesome hold for Switch, wonder how long this will keep going.

Oh, is that a thing? I'm sorry if I broke tradition Trucks

I did do it a grand total of one time so not really a tradition. I was about to do it again this week but I got to this thread a bit late this week.

Is production up or are they just allocating Japan a higher percentage of switches that previously would have went to other regions?  NPD data and the availability in europe would suggest this is likely.

NPD data is from July. In Japan only the last two weeks the sales were up. I expected less for Switch in NPD, because I assumed 20% up for two weeks, so overall 10% up. Switch clearly outperformed that. This thread is already august and has another production increase. So we still have to see if NPD will also be up.

I agree on europe though, seemingly demand is (barely) met for some time now.

I agree with your post.  Well said. We'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah despite being a succesor to the 3DS and Wii U sales aligned the Switch is just keeping up with the 3DS. Sales are excellent but this puts them into perspective. 

It's considered a home console by Nintendo and not a successor to the 3DS.

"Fils-Aime made it clear that though the Nintendo Switch is a portable console, it is a home console and not a replacement for what Nintendo wants to accomplish with the 3DS and 2DS."

Stop doing what you're doing. 

But..  In that very same sentence they are acknowledging that it is both..

Besides, in every single Switch Ad we can see them advertising the portability factor of it first and foremost.

 "Nintendo Switch is designed to go wherever you go, transforming from home console to portable system in a snap. "  Nintendo's main page.

And finally,  I dont intend to start a fight but..  they DID say that is was not going to be a successor for the Wii U either:

"The NX is neither the successor to the Wii U nor to the 3DS", said Kimishima (as translated by NeoGAF user GSR).

http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/05/16/nintendo-president-nx-is-not-the-successor-to-the-wii-u-nor-to-the-3ds

But anyways, in the end it doesnt really matters that much.  The important thing now is that the machine is doing great and is shaping up to be able to outsell both of its predecessors.n

I think this proves my point nicely.  They said it's a succesor to neither because it's a succesor to both combined.

Switch's sales are just wow.

I wonder what will be the new baseline for the PS4.
Hopefully DQXI has good legs.

I know the Swich can easily do it - but can Nintendo get enough parts in time to ship that number of units? That's why I said might, though I'm confident it will do it, coming up to DS and Wii numbers in their first year

Oh, and if I'm pessimistic, what would Jrnation then be since he only expected double the numbers of Wii U, Vita or PS4?

The way I read Jranation's comment, I thought he was expecting it to double the WiiU, Vita and PS4 combined. Which seems a tad on the high end but I could honestly see it coming close if Nintendo could ship enough units.

Oh my bad for my wording. I meant that it will double what they individually did in its first 52 weeks. (Around 2.5mil)
