Either way you look at this, you've got to give Nintendo credit for keeping up with demand of the Switch. I haven't seen any retailers run out of the system except maybe during its first month on the market. Considering the abysmal failure the WiiU was, it shows the confidence Nintendo had in the Switch and their foresightedness to allow for increased production if it were successful, unlike the Wii era. I'll be very curious, though, if they will set as ambitious of numbers for their projections for 2019 as they did for 2018. The fact that their numbers aren't in line with their very high projections for this year has been more of a story than their true success almost. Of course, maybe they'll double down after actually hitting that crazy target if December's sales are what we are seeing rumored here.
