I gave you good and logical possibilities why that maybe would make sense, and why thats not throwing away money, you ignoried all that and you were acting like evrething was set in stone, lol. Again, you dont know that, if plan from start would be holiday season launch and around 4m prepared consoles from launch. Again, Nintendo never didnt said they couldn't produce more than 2m for Switch launch, just that initial plan was to prepare 2m for launch and that they later had problem to increase that number, but if initial plan was to have bigger number stock for launch they could probably prepare more. Stock problem after launch is different thing, because maybe they had plan to produce around 500k per month and they needed much more than that beacuse console was selling better than 500k and and factories couldn't start producing much more than that so soon. |
you reaally don'yt know how console launches work do you?
ok, indulge me.... if nintendo just decided to prepare only 2M for launch even if they could have made double that..... why didn't they ramp up production anytime during the next 6 months after launch when the console was still in short supply?
And you do know that none of these companies are ever in a position to start manufacturing months ahead of time and just stockpiling the hardware right? It just doesn't work that way. Think of it this way, these things are "stored" when they are on the sea making their trip from factory to retailer.
even the wiiU, the console nintendo released after its best selling home console ever..... nintendo only planned to ship 5.5M consoles between november 2012 and march 2013. And here is the really cool part. The NS sold 5M consoles in a little over 4 months. Thats almost as much as what nintendo planned to ship with teh wii U in 6 months.
