Switch Launch Sales Numbers are Manufactured?

What's with all the negative responses?

Part of what the op said makes sense. They made more consoles this time around so they sold more.

This is clever since they can create buzz with gaming sites reporting how it's breaking records, beating even the mighty ps4. Consumers see it as a must have item to own, the way they did with ps4. Weren't there stories of people going to stores to buy an xb1 and leaving with a ps4 because of everyone else getting a ps4? Casual gamers are much more easily persuaded than most of us here.

Hype and buzz can do wonderful things for a produce. Just look at iphone. I bought a wii because everyone was talking about it. And even though I was planning on buying a psvr, I may not any time soon. Companies need to rethink their console launches.

The problem is that you are doing the same mistake as the OP, stating something unsubstantiated as fact. Where does this story come from? It originated from the OP:s own mind and is therefore the only reference point we have to go by. There are no references to any articles supporting this idea, and press releases ttat doesn´t make sense or any third party reports that would hint to this.

It sounds more like a conspiracy theory than a valid idea of why Nintendo had such a big launch.

What are you even talking about? Never did I state that this is a fact. Read the bolded instead of jumping to conclusions. Or are you gonna go through every single post and say "ha, this isn't a fact". Newsflash, most of the time we're guessing what's happening.
