Nintendo - Is the hype real? - View Post

Not correct. You can't fake the numbers at the end of the day so we'll know in the months after launch whether it's doing well.

Microsoft, "faked" numbers when they said each XBOX 360 console they sent out in replacement of RRoD consoles were actually consoles, "sold" so it is possible to fake numbers. Not that I think Nintendo will do that, just saying it is possible.

That isn't true and is simply one of those stupid internet myths. RRoD replacements were not counted as sales. Not to mention many of the replacements weren't even new machines they were refurbs.

back on topic though I think the hype is a little weak, hopefully Switch won't just have a couple of good months and will be a hit for them, I would hate to see Nintendo have another failure as I have a lot of fond memories of many hours of Mario games
