2.7, 10.1, 2.2 to finish out the fiscal year. And, to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit lower.

Now, they could move a few million more in the third quarter if they would put out a Smash bundle at $250. Even if they just did it for Black Friday weekend, they would move a whole lot more. The problem there is that Smash is releasing too late. That release date has to be one of the stupidest moves in the history of gaming - missing black Friday by two weeks. It's bad even on a Nintendo scale.

Guess they were ok to not give Sakurai, a notorious workaholic, too much crunch time? Don’t want a RDR2-like incident I guess.

Again, this is also taking Sakurai into consideration. He wants this game as close to completion as it can be and if requires a little more time that it can’t be ready for packaging on Black Friday, then so be it.

Or maybe they’re confident enough in December because December is usually their biggest month of the year.
