| haxxiy said: I wonder if they stuffed the channel a bit expecting Wonder to be another 20m+ hit (which wasn't too farfetched given NSBWii's performance back in the day). We'll probably have a better grasp of things next quarter. |
In terms of hardware shipments you mean? Possibly they may have overshipped a bit this quarter. It would explain the low expectations for next quarter. A 43% drop YoY.
VGChartz has the Switch selling through 5.74m for the previous quarter compared to the 6.9m shipped. I very much doubt VGChartz has undertracked it by that much so yes Nintendo probably shipped more than demand required.
15.5m will be a great result for the FY overall though so it doesn't really matter if the individual quarters were a bit skewed in comparison to sell-through.
