The OP is an example of a plausible opinion that wasn't explained well. I think I understand what OP is trying to say but since they aren't explaining themselves that great, it's going to get torn apart. The community here aren't forgiving enough to try and understand the OP so it's important you explain yourself properly, back it up with good reasons and debate your opinion. OP has failed on all 3 fronts.

but even in the most direct way what he's trying to say is a silly accusation based on whims. Yes, Nintendo, like any other console manufacturer, is aware of what their previous systems sold.

but simply making more systems available at launch than ever before doesn't gurantee a breaking of records. In fact the Wii U had a ton of systems available at launch (you could walk around into any store worldwide practically and there would be a pile of them), but that didn't magically make it 'break records'.

Nintendo's literal LAST home console generation stocking situation at launch sort of contradicts what the OP is saying. Because Nintendo already did this last gen, they provided a ton of Wii U's (and got burnt).

as someone else mentioned a few posts ago- you could put a million Ouya's out for sale at launch but they wouldn't have magically sold. You can't force the market to embrace your product. The OP is acting like Nintendo has some sort of gurantee that if they simple launch 2x or 3x their previous generations hardware numbers at launch that they'll sell through and then Nintendo will have some sort of artificial control over demand for systems/games.

But that's backwards thinking, the only way you can maintain demand is if people actually WANT and like the device. You can't ignore that.

 

no to mention the OP suggests that NIntendo launched in March because A) they wouldn't have enough hardware available  in time for a holiday 2016 launch, yet also B) that Nintendo artificially is doing this to 'break' records. Which totally is a contradition in logic.

If launching in March supposedly is some sort of method to 'break records', then launching in the holiday would have doubley broken records.

 

The OP's post is just a complete fallacy in logic and somewhat embarassing. Talk about clutching at straws. 

I mean, jesus, tells 'tales of record presales'? They can't accidentally lie about that information when the stock they provide is given to third party retailers and the retailers then have the information themselves.

You're welcome to hate but at least come up with some more logical accusations than this. Anyone can make up random stuff out of thin air based on nothing. "NIntendo is lying!" blah blah blah. Grow up.
