You do know that the Switch sells way more in December than in November, right ? Like 1+ million per week for 5 weeks in a row until the end of the year. Black Friday isn't nearly as big as Christmas for the Switch, unlike the other 2 consoles.

Last year:

- Week 1 (BF): 1.88

- Week 2: 1.55

- Week 3: 1.2

- Week 4: 1.6

- Week 5 (31st december): 0.92

His point was that every coming week would need to match blackfriday, the biggest week of the year, to make 30m, you post figures from last year confirming that blackfriday is by far the biggest sales week... you are agreeing with his point. Yes december is bigger than november for Nintendo that wasn't argued.

Switch needs to sell another 7.8m to reach a 30m calendar year, as your figure show last year Switch sold 5.27m post-bf. So Switch would have to go from being down 13.6% for BF to being up 48% YoY for the whole of december. I.E 30m is basically impossible unless VGC tracking is massively out.

You do realize that stock is the only limitation the switch has right? Last year, the stock was there and it sold 1.88mil but this year, it wasn't there. It also has a 53rd week this year apparently. And even last year it sold close to 1.6mil every week except week 3. And switch has shown that when it has stock, it can sell it all out so as I said before, I hope it has the stock so it gets to 30mil this year. 30mil is not impossible if Ninty makes and ships enough units.
