@CheddarPlease I want you to know the reason I disappeared from the discussion was because I already knew where this conversation was headed.
Some posters push Vgcharts figures as the gospel because it is the lowest possible figure reported for Switch. Some posters want to completely ignore Nintendo's reported figure and some dont even know its 146 million as of September 2024. In order for Switch to have shipped less than 150 million as of December 2024, it would need to ship less than 4 million this holiday lol. That is obviously unreasonable and vgchartz figures even show it isnt that far down from last holiday but some posters dont even know what it shipped last holiday (6.9 million). These posters instead fully rely on vgchartz figures to determine what Nintendo shipped. This literally burnt them just last quarter where vgchartz figures for NA didnt match Nintendo's shipments for the Americas. We even have some posters suggesting Nintendo overships according to vgchartz figures but somehow dont believe its vgchartz undertracking. Quite odd right?
That entire conversation was very easy to understand from the offset. Cheddar was obviously showing Switch isn't that far down, so a 5 to 6 million shipment is quite reasonable and 151 to 152 million is much more likely. Long story short, some posters will bend over backwards to say the Switch has sold 149 million as of December 2024 and make no mention of the 151 or 152 million reported by Nintendo as of December 31, 2024. I'm just preparing you for this.
