Is the hype real?

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

I remember reading an article back then that stated the consoles were counted as sales until the company was caught. Once caught they revised the numbers... oh well, that is what I get for trusting people paid to get my clicks. If it really is not true, my bad.

citation please! there were a lot of silly blogs and crap where people posted that sort of crap, none of it ever substatiated. The reality was that is not how numbers are counted and any company doing that would be in serious trouble with the SEC as you can't make shit up when reporting to shareholders.
