every company uses more then a certain number when announcing number, but yea nintendo numbers are a bit fishy, so it's 50/50 at this point that the data is accurate since they said 8.2 instead of just 8 million.

Worth noting Nintendo has lowballed in the hundreds of thousands before.  One theory floating is that these numbers are the Black Friday weekend numbers + numbers for the rest of the year.  So the sales they know for sure they have with the rest of November left out.  Which would be strangebut again, Nintendo has done weird PR before.  i mean, if Switch is only at 1 mil for the month, it's not just Benji that got it wrong, Switch being up substantially was called by multiple people.  EVERYONE would have to have been wrong.  

And just to reinforce the oddity, it seems Mochizuki of Wall Street Journal in Japan is declining to translate the 8.2 mil part and report it until he can get clarification so apparently even he's confused.

benji just said no way nintendo would leave numbers out, and you might have a point if nintendo said 8 million, but they said 8.2 million, so it's 50/50.
