Nintendo - Is the hype real? - View Post

I was thinking more based on sales figures/NPD/Media Create results rather than arguing about whether it's the supply or demand that isn't enough.

You are young, Ka-pi. But I was here for the Wii and Nintendo got accused of deliberately undershipping despite the Wii having one big NPD month after another and a baseline of 60k units weekly in Japan. That was in 2007, but I don't think that human behavior changes over time. Individuals change, sure, but they'll be replaced by younger people who commit the same mistakes.

People said that in the earlier months, but once you got to the middle of 2007, I don't think that was case. Something that was selling so consistently with high numbers couldn't have been deliberate. There were many asking why Nintendo wasn't ramping up production to meet demand, but the biggest critics were people asking if it deserved to or was going to crash out later on.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
