What does Lite GLOBAL Q3 shipments have to do with December NPD though?? |
Oh, this may be a little bit complicated. Now, Dec is part of Q3. And NPD covers the US, which is part of...the globe.
It's just hilarious that people can't get over that Nintendo had to do what every other console company has done, including themselves previously, either cut the price of the OG SKU or release a lower priced SKU to keep sales up YOY. I know it goes against the narrative of the unstoppable Switch that will sell higher amounts until 2022 no matter what, but obviously Nintendo doesn't believe that nonsense either, so released the Lite. Nintendo is being smart in keeping the demand for Switch up, which should make Nintendo fans happy, yet they take that simple, factual observation as some sort of insult.
