So I know there has been a lot of talk about the Switch being very understocked for the month of March but then someone pointed out to me and I looked it up to be sure:

The PS4 sold just under 2.5 million units in its first 4 weeks. The Xbone just over 2.2 million.

And they launched in November, one of the top two most active retail months.

So with that in mind, is 2 million for the Switch's first 4 weeks not plenty high? Especially given it launches in March, a far less active month at retail? And wouldn't easily selling out of that first big wave be an accomplishment worthy of note???

Edit: ok forgot Japan launched months later, when you align them you get somewhere around 2.9 mil. But again, Switch is launching in March, so I think 2 million with the possibility of more seems adequate.

Its kinda ok if you look at it as a home console. Its really low if you look at it as a handheld. Its extremely bad if you look at it as both. Lets not forget (even though I thik its still too high) its coming in at $100 less then what the PS4/XB1 launched at when they launched back in 2013.

Well it is official. More people have bought Zelda for the Switch than have bought the Switch itself xD

It actually does make sense. I'm sure many people will buy the game in the hope of being able to preorder the Switch at a later date or buy one come launch.

Unless I am mistaken. doesn't amazon pre-orders allow you "pre-order" stuff without actually paying for them and only paying when the item is shipped out to you?

If thats the case why do we take stock in amazon pre-orders? It just means most will keep stuff pre-ordered in the hope they somehow land themselves a console and cancle said pre-order if they don't.

Is Halo Wars 2 a big enough draw to have its own bundle?
Is it like super popular with a few out there that dont already own a xbox one?
I cant see this pushing much hardware.

The first Halo Wars did pretty well (about 600k its first month, I think) but also released at the height of Halo and Xbox 360's popularity. If even Gears of War struggled to do 500k, I don't think the expectations are very high for Halo Wars 2. Still, as Bandorr says, it's their best title to bundle, and first-party games are cheaper to include than games like Battlefield, so they might be able to more easily drop the price of these bundles.

Halo Wars 2 should do well. The bundle should only come with the digital code so it can be played with play anywhere.

Looks like KH 2.8 will release at the #6 spot. Damn Switch event ruined 2.8's dream of being #1.
