| quickrick said: This has never been done before by any company giving a LTD for a console. people seem to ignore that nintendo was very clear and detailed with the number. there is no reason for them to do any math, when the data they have will show a clear LTD, but anything is possible although extremely unlikely. Good thing is we will find out very soon, and people should not be surprised when they match numbers giving by Nintendo.

I don't think I could've said it better myself ...
Also what suddenly happened to being excited about Nintendo releasing Switch data ? 
Whether the c word is real or not, data trumps all bias, haha ...
Given that Nintendo reporting has been precise within 100k this generation and that Iwata's figure sounded like a rounded up conservative overestimate along with the fact that we still don't know the daily distribution of five best days on the Wii during the 2008 BF week, there's a plausible scenario where Nintendo's currently released figure adds up ...
For all we know the daily sales for the Wii would've been nearly uniform during that week at ~114K/day which would've totaled ~571k while the Switch could've sold a total of 600k which would still be consistent with Nintendo's claim regardless while on the previous days where the Switch would've averaged ~15.8k/day ...
A possible weekly breakdown of sales could've went like this: Week 1 - ~110k, Week 2 - ~110k, Week 3 - ~423k, day 25-26 - ~240k
The above scenario highlights that it would've been consistent with both Nintendo's claim of Switch having the best 5 days in the US compared to the past systems and meeting at over 8.2M units sold in the US as well ...
