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. |
@Bold Until we can get hard numbers from Nintendo there's no way to prove your assertion to be true regardless of how often restocked the Switch is. It's not just about how frequent the restocks are, it's also about how much in quantity that restocking happens too ... (No one in their right mind would claim that more goods are shipping to Country B which is getting restocked about 1 unit every week than Country A which gets restocked with 10 units each month)
You don't trust the numbers because of your partisanship getting in the way, VGC only gets more accurate as time goes on since the group behind it are frequent to readjust ... (after all the vast majority of market data are only estimates but you don't see the business world losing their minds over it)
Supply meeting demand does mean sales usually go down (not much reason to sell a Switch if everybody on this planet owns one), at least assuming that demand stays constant in an academic setting but that's hardly ever true in the real world since many variables could affect the sales of game consoles such as pricing or games ...
