Back then Nintendo's PR suggested Switch sales of 115k for April 2017 when in reality they were 280k. That's a lot more than being "slightly off," not to mention that this happened during the crucial launch period. Sales of 115k would have meant that Switch is dropping off to an also-ran while in reality Switch was going strong. |
Not that I have a time machine or anything, but isn't it pretty normal for there to be a big hefty restock for Nintendo consoles at the launch of a big game. I went back and read the PR and it looks like what happened was it suggested Switch sales of 115k for up to the date of MK8D's launch, and then the day it launched and the few days afterwards is when it got the extra 150k sales because there was a big restock in stores and because MK8D is a hugely successful software title. Or is that not the case?
