Forums - Nintendo Discussion - PR: Nintendo Switch Best Selling week Ever (US) (8.2mil+Sold Switches LTD) [Update: 8.6mil+]

? I don't know where you get that. They said it was Nintendo's best Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday for a Console. Previously that was Wii which was 800k.

The 800K was for BF week, not Thu through Mon. There's a reason Nintendo used the PR wording they did, it allowed an easy victory over the supply constrained Wii. The Wii was flying off shelves in 2008, so I wouldn't be surprised if it sold half of that 800K leading up til BF. Especially when you consider that there were no deals for the Wii that year, with half the retail chains not even advertising it in their BF ads, and BF still meant Fri, not Thurs night. So, it sold very little Sat and Sun, and CM was hardly where it is now (the same goes for Amazon), meaning stores didn't reserve as much stock for it.

And the 8.2M+ LTD up until Cyber Monday supports just that. There was ~900K sold up until then for the whole of November, minus this last week, not just BF weekend.

Well, so....what's the conclusion today, which side is winning??? team 900k is correct or team Nintendo don't know how use numbers???

It seems we definitively converted Rol to our cause, about time!! Point for us!.

It maybe time to give up the psychedelic drugs, so the realist in me  can overcome the fantasy world, where subjecting myself to reading every post will somehow lead to insight.

The headaches are becoming more frequent I'M SO CONFUSED!!!

This day makes it worth considering that I create another account on this website whose purpose is to provide counter-arguments or a different perspective to what Rol says. It would make things much more pleasant. I'd have benefits such as:

1. Mutual respect.
2. Intellectual honesty on both sides.
3. Simple requests and questions would be answered instead of a dance around some of the most basic things.
4. Finding the truth would be more important than which side wins an argument.

Now regarding this specific case, I never said that it's a sure thing that the 8.2m LTD figure is wrong, just that it's likely that it is. Multiple requests for a comprehensive breakdown of the other side didn't net any tangible results, so basically the only choice was that I had to do the work myself to see how all the pieces of the press release come together.

As for the question which side is winning, I'd hope it's the truth and sincere interest in it that is winning. If the 8.2m LTD figure is indeed correct, then I wouldn't count fatslob and quickrick as winners, simply because they always side against Nintendo. They are like the Miami Dolphins fan we've had in the NFL prediction league who had a much better track record than everyone else at predicting a loss for the New England Patriots who rarely lost games and were commonly expected to win virtually every game. But nobody in the prediction league gave credit to said Miami Dolphins fan, because he predicted the Patriots to lose in every week they played. He occasionally got lucky and was right, but that had nothing to do with a knowledge or analysis; it was all based on bias and wishing the worst for the New England Patriots.

I suspect you probably won't the first doing that....XD

As a Pats fan, i already dislike that guy you name....Who has the courage to bet against the Patriots??? I think Tom Brady has the best % of winning in american professional sports. Betting against him is not ....."smart" to be polite.

Considering the topic.... I still expect to be right with my theory. Something like this in Novemeber (nothing scientificly specific, just a quick guess)

1st week 75k

2nd week (Pokemon Let's go week) 150k 

3rd week (BF week) 650k

just Cyber Monday 50k

Total 925k

Considering Switch was selling on average of 65k per week the month before, those numbers could make sense..., so i'll stick for something like this to actually happened.

Oh please I got so much wins, and all bets won so far. Just a typical hater.

Seems feasible

It is basically this what the issue is and will continue to be the issue, but thankfully the clock is running out. You playing both sides remind me how unique the site was back in 2008-2010, with people like Nas (naz?) and Kaz and the well structured arguments this site use to have.

The $250 million math doesnt work because. Included in the million first party sales are all the $300 Switches that had Mario Kart bundled. Not to mention that there were other sales. Plus the store gets a percentage so that isnt the actual number Nintendo sees. Therefore its still possible for over 800k Switches sold.

He does bring good point up for the Rol Camp! Counter to this argument Negative Rol! (I'm really bored right now aren't I, I should go play red dead or finish pokemon.)
