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 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?

he seems to think that launching in holidays means having more supply, when we have showed him over, and over again, it's not the case
