Oh, you meant an extra million on top of the 2 million. Okay, I misread that. Still, 7.26 million at the end of December seems strange... I mean, looking at Q1, 1.96 million is the bare minimum they'll be shipping in a quarter, since they've already promised increased shipments starting in July. But even without any increase in shipments, the Switch would still reach 5.88 million for those three quarters. An additional 1.38 million is just a 70% increase from Q2 to the holiday quarter, even though the holiday quarter is usually 50% of an entire fiscal year's shipments. Do you think Nintendo is currently shipping units at nearly the same pace as they manufacture them? I hope their production capacity isn't that low. |
The WSJ report about the Nintendo/Apple battle for manufacturing parts said the shortage of the NAND memory chip would be year long. So who knows how much of an effect that will be.
