None of this is making any sense, when did i say Nintendo would magically of whipped up more consoles if launched in Nov?

When the fuck did anybody say a console manufacturer has shipped 3/4M launch week and what does that have to do with anything?

Youre trying to get me to defend things i have never said.

 

Everybody knows people are WAAAAYYYYYY more willing to spend hundreds of dollars on gaming in Dec compared to April hence why a console manufacturer will plan accordingly and have more units available with a holiday launch compared to a spring launch.

ok.... here goes.

A console manufacturer will plan things differently when it comes to the holiday shopping season vs the slower spring months.

Somehow, in this thread.....these concepts that i would have thought were obvious are suddenly so complicated.

the bolded part..... unless I am grossly mistaken, in line with this discussion, that statement can only mean that if they were releasing in the holidays they would make more consoles than for a spring launch (plan differently). thats the only difference that applies here. and is in line with what Miyamotoo was suggesting as well. He outright spelt it out. here....

You are misinterpreting what im saying. My whole argument has been about 2nd month drop, not about having more units in the first week/month.

Console manufacturers will plan accordingly by having a similar amount available in Dec as they did in Nov.

April is a much slower sales period than Dec so manufacturers plan accordingly and anticipate a significant drop in the 2nd month.
