Crazy to think in one week 1/10 of Wii u's were just replaced! Great start just wondering how big it could have been if they had more stock. Month later it's still sold out and it's hard just to find a controller for this thing. Also this talk of ps4 and it's bigger launch week is apples to oranges. If Nintendo had more confidence in switch and manufactured more for launch I'm sure it would be a larger number at launch. I'm seeing a lot of hype for this system and people I know who normally don't get Nintendo consoles want this system.

First bolded part... in all fairness the wiiU didn't set a very high bar to begi with.

Second bolded part.... and you are choosing to ignore hard data and chase dreams instead. Whose fault is it that nintendo didn't have confidence in the Switch? What does that even mean? Does a company spend 4-5 years planning and making something for it to maybe go out and fail? How about this though, being taht the PS4 also sold out of all the units the made at launch and went on to have an almost 4-6 month supply issue, guess we could also be saying if sony had had the sense or means to make 2M more consoles they would also have had a larger number too....... You see why ignoring the data is bad?

Xbox one was only released in 13 Tier 1 countries, (people forget fast =p).

And whose fault was that?

It's  not chasing  dreams to state facts. In fact there was a news about Nintendo  ramping  up production  to meet demand  and rumors  of them projecting to make 20 million  for the year. Stating Nintendo's  fails on way understocking was not to say that Sony couldn't  have sold more but to say that there launches are not comparable... so stop being such a fanboy. Sony produced  more ps4s because  they were confident  they would  sell through. After the lack luster sales of Wii u Nintendo  played it safe and now are way behind  on demand. Both had great  launches  both sold out and that's what matters.
