As for the prediction, i side by Switch being more than 18M this year too, but a few weeks ago i was almost certain it would ship more than 20M this year, but i'm not as sure anymore. 19M still seems like the safest bet this year.

I'm not sure why these numbers would change your prediction, it's quite clear Nintendo is deliberately trying to lower stock on shelves to make way for the 2 new models releasing this quarter.

Eh, I'm not sure about that. The difference between shipped and vgc estimates isn't massively different to the same time last year. But I agree that these numbers don't make me doubt my own high expectations.

June 30th 2018 - 1.62m more shipped than sold
June 30th 2019 - 1.32m more shipped than sold

The main reason I think is higher number of units on shelves at the end of December then the previous year, so that will cause lower shipments in the following quarters.

December 31st 2017 - 1.72m more shipped than sold
December 31st 2018 - 2.79m more shipped than sold

Though the upcoming lite will have an affect to a degree. I still think the Switch can easily beat the 18m forecast, and even go to 20m+

Splatoon 2 on its way to 10million! I would have never expected if you ask me 2 years ago.



Pocky Lover Boy!

Splatoon has done better this quarter than the last couple ones, or maybe I’m just imagining that. I thought the 10 million dream was dead, but maybe it’ll reach it

A 20% reduction in stock from a year ago when sales are 20% higher than the previous year indicates trying to clear stock.

These things are typically based on the individual posters post history, frequency and whether or not someone reports them.

Bold: Hence the "no fucks given".

I'm pretty sure you were referring to mods being biased for not banning them with that comment.

I wouldn't use the word "biased" but it's true that I think moderation has to be done even though no reports are submitted.

Mods cant ban people for things they dont see
