Using other launches to predict switch 2 sales was a huge mistake. It seems to me like Nintendo may have been ready to launch the Switch 2 hardware earlier but needed time for the software.

It's very unusual to be able to produce such a large amount of units for launch, and for them to be able to meet demand so soon. I thought the thing would be sold out the whole year but it's readily available, they're producing a huge number.

Depending on how many of these they can ship, the first fiscal year may be close to it's peak year in sales which is wild. Going to have a much flatter sales curve than normal.

Yes, all of that sounds about right.  It'll be interesting to see the sales performance over several years.  

I guess they were actually serious when they said they were gonna try to minimize scalpers.  I thought that was just talk. But, it seems that they actually pulled it off.
