So 3DS was the only one to have a significant increase over the previous week? Interesting

And Nintendo gotta do something about Switch in Europe, a bundle with a pack-in game?? Do something!! Lol

Monter Hunter Tri Ultimate released at the same week in 2011 so the significant increase in hardware sales is explained ... 

And there's nothing Nintendo can do for the Switch in Europe. It's almost fated to perform similarly in line with the 3DS because pricing isn't ideal for that region. Nintendo is disproportionately weak in Europe compared to their other regions and especially in comparison to Japan since both perform so closely to each other and in some cases will top total European sales like we see with the 3DS (Switch in Japan is also in the lead too according to VGC!) even though Europe is a vastly larger market ... 

Nintendo should place in hope that North America and Japan will pick up the slack in in Europe at this point for the Switch like they did for both GBA and 3DS ... 

Wow. I'm honestly amazed that you still can't seem to comprehend the concept of price elasticity of demand.

But you are correct. Switch truly is "fated" to sell like 3DS, even though it currently costs twice as much and is selling just as fast. It sure is a shame that companies can't lower the price of a product once it's on the market. It would be so simple, but, alas. You only get one chance to set a product's price. Better luck next generation, Nintendo.

Just another nugget of wisdom from fatslob.
