Especially when Nintendo has over 70% of the weekly marketshare along with 13 of the top 20 games, you have to be reaching pretty far to come up with a negative comment.

I mean, are you expecting a flat 45-50k until mid October? I don't think there's anything particularly wrong about stating that with all that Nintendo had going this week it's a bit disappointing that they didn't push a lot more systems.  Bringing up Splatoon 2's release and how it rose last year's sales is pertinent info as well, and is as fair game to comment on as when posters would bring up supply-constrained weak sales from last year to say that Switch is way up compared with last year.

The problem is that he exclusively says negative things about Nintendo, trying to deny/defend that is just ridiculous. He rarely comments in Media Create threads, comes in this week full of positive things (strong Switch hardware, strong Octo debut, strong Toad debut, excellent evergreen sales) and starts acting "concerned" about its poor outlook.

With the expection of week 1 (New Years), Switch has not sold over 55k this year, 50-55k is what it sold the weeks of Kirby & Golden Week so expecting Octopath to give a significantly higher boost than that made very little sense.
