ZhugeEX twiter yesterday saying Switch exceeding 30M sell through worldwide at the end of January 2019. Adjustments were needed.

"Nintendo Switch sell through to consumers has exceeded 30 million units as of the end of Jan 2019".

Switch was probably overtracked between 500k-1'0M here...

I'm sure it's CGI making adjustments to the territory charts- you'll see the numbers for all of the companies fluctuate as adjustments are made

Now they are 30'2M and show around 16'7M in 2018. More in line with what i expected (close to 16'5M) and around 29'5-30'0M lifetime by the end of the year.

After seeing that PS4 has 2'6M on shelves, ZhugeEX tweet and Switch shipping 32'2M, i'm not surprised if Switch has around 2'5M on shelves too, so around 29'7M sold in reality. With this adjustment, we have more accurate numbers now.

Edit: Probably more adjustments coming, so we'll see where it ends.

Those numbers arent from ZhugeEX, they come from Nintendo's investor briefing.

It's hard to tell exact numbers because Nintendo has a history of saying something has exceeded and it's actually way above that.

For example, in their Nov NPD PR they said Switch sales exceeded 8.2 million in the US and week or so later we find out exceeded 8.2 million actually meant over 8.7 million.

Or the infamous NPD December 2009 when they said they Wii sales were over 3 million for the month when in fact it was 3.81 million.

Then there is also the fact that it had to be an estimate because not even Nintendo would have end of January global sell through yesterday as the presentation would been prepared days in advance before January was even over.

With that said, yes it was likely overtracked by a bit, I highly doubt close to 1 million though.

I never said those numbers were from ZhugeEX. He said numerous times that he has insight to worldwide trackers like NPD, MC, GFK and others. So his words are reliable, at least as reliable as when he said XBO numbers a few days ago.

And i said 0'5-1'0M because before adjustments Switch showed 30'7M at January 5th, and if Switch sold the same the rest of the month as it did last year, Switch was on pace to finish around 31'3-31'4M. Even if Switch ended around 30'9M (something doubtful) and Switch did not sold better this this year compared to last (also doubtful) it will still be around 0'4-0'5M overtracked at least.

I do think Switch sold better this Jan than last, and that Switch did not finished so close to 31'0M by the end of the month, and that's why Switch should be closer to 1M overtracked.

I know ZhugeEX is reliable, what I'm saying is that he just retweeted the number Nintendo used in their presentation.

 Yup. I was just stating that i was just explaining the OP why the reason of the adjusments.

So Switch was over tracked - should drop below 30 million on current chart - but will be right back up to 30 at the end of the month

I know, I just dont get why you mentioned ZhugeEX Twitter instead of the actual source, Nintendo's presentation.

Because honestly, i didn't knew the actual source was Nintendo, but if you tell it came from that Nintendo presentation, i believe you. 

I only knew ZhugeEX tweet.
