I'm not the one having a problem with reality. That would be you, you can't even find the numbers to support your argument.

You're not making any sense. So what if one week had stock shortages. It gets replenished and most people can wait a week will buy it next week. Trying to act like the week's shortage is the reason the SW SKU is 30k behind the PS4 SKU LMAO

You know whats even funnier. Even with stock being replenished the SW SKU is still below the PS4 SKU.

For the most part people aren't just going to wait around for it to get in stock when they have other options, such as buying a digital copy, buying a used copy, or buying the PS4 version for multi-console owners.

True, there are even more options, for instance putting down the money into another game if they don't get their first choice. Also there is a secondary effect. People that buy a game first week are telling their friends about it and they might buy the game later on. If you lose first week sales, you lose also some of these secondary sales.

As we know from other regions that the Switch version is there actually selling stronger than the PS4 version, we can be pretty confident that Square lost sales over this initial undershipping. How much is hard to guess though.
