If the attach rate was based on March NPD figures, then it would be above 50%. (459k copies of MK8D, 906k hardware units.)

The best explanation I've read is that it's based on Nintendo's shipment figures for the fiscal year. They shipped 1.2 million Switch to the Americas, maybe 1 million went to the US but they didn't completely sell out like we think.

Edit: Nintendo PR shouldn't share April hardware data anyway. NPD would be pissed.

It's probably shipments, like they used the 2.7 million shipment figure for global sales.
