That likely means mid to late launch in March would be my guess.

I can mark one sale from my end. Normally i don't buy at launch, but i will play the ultimate version of BOTW on the go .

2 mil in a month? Sounds like they're being pretty optimistic.

No it's not. Really not. It's pretty conservative. They could push 4 million to stuff all retail channels. They likely want to prevent stories of surplus supply and good stories like shortage supply.

Yes, I knooow, I made a mistake >_< I agree they should ship more. I'd hope it doesn't end up like the Wii and being out of stock for months.

But the wii shortage buzz was great for like 6 months. We should hope for it. If the NS can get that, Nintendo will be happy indeed.

What way is shipping that optimistic? Optimistic would be haveing 10m units ready at launch.

2m "potentially" sitting in stores waiting to be bought the first month isnt really optimistic.

I suppose... but those times sucked. I heard about so many stories about people wanting the Wii but couldn't, and people had to hunt for the chance stores would receive maybe 1 or 2? The early amiibo days weren't great either.

I really need to change my original comment.
