The big difference here is that we, the people who are arguing that a holiday launch isn't an advantage, have provided sales data which shows that the Switch had a way bigger launch in march than every other console that had a holiday launch excluding the PS4. We've also stated that despite launching in March, Nintendo continues to have stock issues to this day, and the PS4 had stock issues for at least a few months. Which means that there was zero advantage, and if there was an advantage, you'd pretty much be implying if the Switch had a holiday launch it would be crushing the PS4 or at the very least be significantly outselling it launch aligned, which is what DonFerrari was getting at. Meanwhile, the only counter argument you have provided is your own baseless assumption that "console manufacturers will plan differently." That really isn't convincing at all. |
I swear it's like talking to a wall, he keeps saying the same thing no matter what. all these consoles launch during the holidays and had supply issues.
* he ignores ps4 was sold out within 24 hours and couldn't launch in japan cause of stock issues
*he ignore ps3 couldn't launch in europe because of supply
* he ignores switch had more supply then wii, 360, ps2, the first 2 months despite them launching during the holidays.
I mean seriously he must have a real bad comprehension problem. all these points and he brings up stupid data showing sales didn't decline the second month that much, lol.
