Oooohhh.... so you are now in the camp that since nintendo was releasing in march thats why they didn't plan to make more consoles? How do you know this? what evidence is there to show that nintendo (especially) in the case of teh switch could have just whipped up more consoles if they wanted? Weren't they even originally to launch in 2016? I mean... the console had been hinted by nintendo themselves since 2014 i think or was it sooner. But somehow, they just ended up releasing as many consoles as every other manufacturer that is doing well tends to release in the same time period..... even while they were downplaying their expectations?

So we are no longer dealing with facts but instead with conjecture?

Ok... can you tell me a time when nintendo (or any other console manufacturer for that matter) had shipped more than 3/4M consoles in the launch week?

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.

Look at miyamoto post where he think Switch would sell more on holiday launch because nintendo would plan and produce more.

I'm lost..... so all that data suggest what exactly? 

The consoles had limited stock? Cause  what I am seeing is a drop in all those consoles second month. I don't see how that refutes my claim.... they still sold all the stock they had available. They just had less stock the following month than the month prior. With exception to the Wii (and there is a reason why things like that happens too).

Lets just leave this alone though. At this point theer is no need to continue. I believe we have all put our cards on the table, everyone will believe what they wanna believe.

I said relative stability, PS4 had a 2nd month drop of about 25%, Wii had an increase of about 25%, 360 had a drop of under 15%.

Her are some other Nov launches

GC Nov 2001-660k

GC Dec 2001-570k

 

Xbox Nov 2001-720k

Xbox Dec 2001-700k

 

Again all Nov launches have a relatively stable 2nd month regardless of stock issues.

Here are the drops for Spring launches

Switch March 2017-900k

Switch April 2017-280k

 

3DS March 2011-400k

3DS April 2011-190k

 

GBA June 2001-880k

GBA July 2001-360k

 

 

Nov launches see Dec sales roughly the same while Spring launches see 50-70% declines.

How could Switch sell more on April if there wasn't any excess stock for the next 7 months?
