i did challenge it. 

"what Rolstoppable   wrote is  speculation nobody knows what switch did last year during those 5 days last year, it could be anywhere from 270-400 that's something we will never know, what we do know is nintendo gave a LTD for switch in the US, and it nintendo have never giving a false LTD in the US before, or a LTD for the US with missing numbers, it has never happened before, i don't see any reason to doubt these numbers and not trust Nintendo."

Oh, that was a challenge?

I considered it rambling, because of the bolded part. I've also highlighted one sentence in my quote above, because it reinforces that you choose to believe what you want to believe, even in the face of contradictory evidence.

In yesterday's post, I outlined what effect a lower number than 400k for the five-day-period in 2017 has on the remaining weeks in November in both 2017 and 2018. Your example of 270k means that last year the three weeks before Black Friday averaged ~170k units and the Black Friday shopping frenzy had barely any effect on Switch sales.

that's completely possible. mario came out at the end of october, and could have boosted switch sales. people on black friday are typically looking for deals, switch had none. besides the point, if 8.2 million was an error don't you think nintendo would informed anyone by now? IT IS PRETTY big NEWS and posted on almost every gaming website, and business websites as well.
