Switch Launch Sales Numbers are Manufactured?

As I get it, you're basically just confirming my posting by saying that the WiiU launch was very much an exception from the usual console launches, as Nintendo did indeed "ship an insanely high amount of hardware units for launch" - resulting in the WiiU being one of the few consoles not being"sold out in most places shortly after launch".

Then you don't understand what I've been saying. Nintendo didn't ship an insanely high amount of Wii Us; the numbers were similar to Switch. Your argument is of the belief that whatever gets shipped will be sold, but that doesn't work if the demand isn't there.

I see, you apparently just didn't understand what I meant. When I talked about an "insanely high amount of hardware units for launch", I of course meant high in relation to actual demand.

You'd be hard pressed to call 40k units an insanely high number

40k units IS an insanely high number if there is no actual demand.

I would even call 20k shipments to Japan an "insanely high number" if we were for example talking about the OUYA.
