Owww I have missed all those Nintendo may make 25M-30M consoles and just ship 20-25M?

Wtf are you even on about are you high or something?

Look on the thread for some claims that though it would be reasonable to make 30 to ship 25M.

Because sure 1M on the factory for a 20M sales on the year would be acceptable buffer (plus the 2M or so on the shipping channels).

That is one narrative. If they planned the release correctly there wouldn't be a reason to not be able to produce more, because even with the analysts puting the other products that affected the components for Switch, they sold dozen Millions, so it wasn't like Nintendo wouldn't be able to produce more if they planned and had confidence.

Nintendo can't make this type of PR because that would manipulate market and stock and is a crime (this isn't a real Nintendo PR), and my questioning is to people thinking it is reasonable to produce 30M planning to ship 20M.

That sums it up. These other products were selling millions, and took a lot of the parts nintendo needed, resulting in shortages. Without any sort of evidence to back up "they had no confidence", I'm assuming youre pulling this out of your ass.

And.....how is this a crime?? Are you kidding me?? Has to be a joke, right??

If some product with the shortages could make 100M sales why couldn't Nintendo do more than 10M on their forecast?

Nope not kidding, if you publically announces 30M forecast while intending to only meet like 20M that is a way to manipulate the market and it's a crime.
