@Bold No, I am not saying that Nintendo just suddenly met demand in Europe. It's was obviously a gradual process over the past weeks ... (and sales actually go down once demand has been met, sales only increase if demand isn't met so you have it the other way around) As for proof weekly sales seems to indicate that Nintendo is only shipping ~150K units out of the ~650K units they can produce monthly to Europe while US and Japan get ~250K units each, probably even less right now since VGC seems to lag once we consider that we're at the near end of September when VGC only has data for the beginning of August ... (as some would say, 'the proof is in the pudding' and the fact that Nintendo is successively shipping less and less units for Europe means that the Switch supply hasn't been fully depleted yet in European channels so the system must be in relative abundance for that territory) Also, your last line stinks of denial ... |
No, the demand is gradually being met in the places in Europe where it was nearly impossible to procure in the past. A check of nowinstock will prove this fact. In the 3 main countries of Europe it is literally in stock for hours before being restocked. The mere fact it is being restocked much quicker now goes to prove there is more stock allocated there now, so defacto more sales. Yet this isn't being taken into account on this very tracking site. This is why i thought Europe and even possibly U.S. is undertracked here. It's not just me that doesn't trust the numbers here any more. After all, they are just estimates anyway. You really think supply meeting demand=sales going down? No,it means more being shipped there, ergo more sales. Nintendo has already upped production. It doesn't mean LESS consoles are going to Europe. If anything slightly more are being sent there, as the stockchecking sites restock history proves.
