Boom! Straight from the horses mouth. 2 mil consoles shipped worldwide in the first month. Maybe now people can calm down on the supply issue rumors.

Good read.
Also
It is a lot of money! Is there going to be a discount for us if we buy the games again on Switch?

Fils-Aime: What I would say first is, we recognize that some of our most passionate fans have spent quite a bit, whether it’s with Virtual Console on Wii or Wii U, and we recognize that consumers are rightly concerned about moving to Nintendo Switch without backward compatibility. My comment is: Stay tuned, we understand the concern, more information to come.

That means that theres a chance VC games I got on wii U will be mine on switch for free!

I like how he said that they read all the comments on forums ahah. Definitely doesn't seem like it. I'd love to see the real miyamoto or Reggie troll in comment sections, or spread false hype, or something funny like that. I see bands/ band members do it on heavy metal sites, and it's funny as hell.

Indeed, most likely will sell out shipped numbers at launch, but it really needs to hold after that

Yep, as long as they can keep out a steady stream of good games, I can see sales at the very least outperforming Wii U.

Haha yeah, if they heard all the comments, their next system would be a Scorpio with Nintendo paint. Lol. Paper Mario would go to its roots, Metroid would be expansive etc lol
