ROTW could 700k to 1.5 million who really knows, but like i said before if vgchrtz numbers are correct,  nintendo would have sold basically all there shipments by feb 1, nintendo would know for sure they have sold over 14 million, why use the 13 million number???

even in your tweet latest sell through number.

"Nintendo Switch was released in March of last year and surpassed the cumulative global sell-through milestone of 10 million units in early December. The number now exceeds 13 million. The results for the first holiday season exceeded our expectations."

Oh wait, those graphs of sell-through numbers in the Americas, Europe and Japan really go up to week 47 after release of the Switch, so maybe the sell through number of 13 million (*not inluding Asia and Latin America) is also for week 47 after release of the Switch. I guess you're right after all 

How on earth would Nintendo know the sell-through up to the 1st of February on the very same day they announce it? 

Use some common sense ffs... Where I work we only had accurate information on our yearly results more than a month later (we're also a sales company). 

Do you have problems reading or seeing reality? Switch has been adjusted upwards at least 3 times and downwards once, which i believe quickrick and yourselves constant bleating had a lot to do with. So i have been right, by your OWN measurement 75% of the time. Lol all you are deconstructing is yourself and your own credibility, which isn't saying much, as you seem to find even basic maths impossible!

they would know the sell through up to the date of the 28th of January.

They specifically said the numbers only included NA, Europe and Japan. They didn't have accurate data for ROTW so it could clearly be over 14m, especially as Nintendo only specified 13m. For all we know it could have been 13.9m at the time stated. They wouldn't announce 14m if they didn't have reliable data from significant regions. Also, how do you know there haven't been shipments since? There likely has been significant ones.

i mean if they only shipped 14.87 million and they sold through 14.5 million like vgchartz suggest by next week, how would nintedo not know? they would have to ship more units to those other known regions and stock would be extremely low, giving a higher estimate for those other regions, but you are free to think what you want, these numbers are not facts, and i actually wanted to stop posting in theses threads till we had something official, but you kept mentioning me so i felt a need to reply.

Again, this is pure assumption on your part. How do you know how long it takes for reliable sales figures to come through? It takes NPD over 2 weeks to come up with reliable figures and that's for ONE country! Knowing how conservative Nintendo is, i would guess their figures are from way before that date. As for your careful scrutiny of rough charts with little info, again i ask, why do you go to so much trouble? You are like a dog with a bone. I really thought you were going to give up with your Switch numbers obsession but i guess not.

People keep getting irked by how companies are able to achieve such up to date data but they have no idea that hardware vendors and OSVs (OS vendors) are all practically sophisticated enough use telemetry to gain such massive insights on statistics so any time users log in with a Switch system online means that data gets recorded and sent back to Nintendo ... 

Nintendo would most certainly have sales data up to date on a daily basis ...
