Nintendo Switch hardware ltd number in Black Friday week PR was a bullshit.

This seems to be becoming a trend.

Nintendo PR would not "lie" about their numbers. Its more likely that a lot of people misunderstood the PR.

My personal understanding f it was that tracking the 5 day period of black friday through to cyber monday they had sales 50% higher than the same period last year. And that as at the end of tht period (with over a week left to go in november) they had already sold around 800k+.  So at the very worst these numbers suggest they sold another ~400K for the last week of november.

This is actually all in line with nintendo PR..... depending on how you read it.

Nintendo Switch

  • Nintendo Switch hardware sales grew 115 percent compared to the same period in 2017.
  • Lifetime sales of Nintendo Switch, which is entering only its second holiday season, have reached more than 8.2 million units.
Thats where all the confusion came from.
8.6mil+ vs 8.2mil PR
