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

But thats is because a lot of people wanted themselves to get confused. The PR was clear and spot on.

That 8.2M was only tracking up till cyber monday with a whole week or so of sales left for november at that point. That 8.2M meant that nintendo had sold around 800k - 900k as at that pint with one week of sales left to go.

These numbers suggest that nintendo (if  taken literally) sold around 400k in that last week of november. Cause thats what wasn'gt accounted for in their PR.

However, their PR said "MORE" than 8.2M. That could mean like 8.275M or something which would mean it would only have had to sell around 300k in the last week.

Their PR wasn't wrong or BS. It was pretty spot on.
