That's +300k in Japan.

So we have ~400k the Americas (probably ~500k, but we only know US numbers, right?), ~300k Japan, and 80k UK, for a total of ~780k missing rest of Europe and some Asian countries?

I hoped/expected 1 million FW; so far, pretty good. The 2 million shipment (before Kimishima said they'll increase supply) was for the whole month, right? We might see some shortage if so.

Americas sales might be higher than that, if the statement is true.I would bet on something closer to 700 k.

But yeah, assuming this tweet is true, the Switch selling as good as the PS4 with a limited supply on March is trully impressive.With the release of Mario Kart 8 and the Global Testfire to send the japanese Switch hype to space, the system there might just have a very bright future.

Oops, meant to say we only know Wii numbers from the US, putting the Switch at least above 400k in the americas. Realistically, it's at least 500k. Could be higher, but I know South America isn't a big market for Nintendo outside of the Wii and DS.
