with this great switch number (330k +) how will be Zelda BoW ?

Sorry, my bad, actually Wii U sold 400 k in 2 days, Wii sold more than that and Switch sold more than Wii.

Well, it's sold out(globally in the U.S)so I think that's good.Still, I feel like Nintendo undersupplied the U.S and Japan.

March is actually a decent month for a console launch in the U.S since many people get their tax refunds around this time so they have the resources to buy it.As for Japan, well Japan eats pretty much anything with Nintendo on it, plus the handheld aspect covers the needs of its populace, so they should have predicted it would sell out.

Overall I am really disappointed in Nintendo with this launch, it could've been much better...

Oh! That is sounding really good! 

No that doesn't matter at all.

Why is this so hard to understand? 

EVERY platform has a dedicated usebase. That user base can be 1M, 2M, 5M or even 10M. And thats not even counting the early adopters that could be platform neutral and just wanting the latest tech.

When it comes to the launch of a new hardware, unless nintendo were shipping out 5M consoles or hell even 8M consoles on launch day/week/month then it really doesn't matter if they released during the holiday season. If they launched with that many consoles, then they would totally saturate their dedicated user base and any additional sales would then be on the marketing, word of mouth or actual merits of the system. Thats when you can start factoring in holiday sales. Cause with launch hardware, especially when stock is as limited as it is here, its a safe bet to say that 90% of the NS consoles were sold before they even hit the production line.

It was no secret that even with 2M consoles shipped there would be shortages, because that number is not enough to saturate the dedicated use3r base and also cater for the early adopters or even scalpers.

Like every console before it, how well it does at launch doesn't mean shit. How well it does in its launch year means more cause thats a better more accurate indication of how the platform will perform. Even the dreamcast had the best "launch" day, week and month in sega history. Yet that ended up being the last console they ever made.

I do not think the NS has done well at launch. That doesn't automatically done poorly either. Juat means its done as expected. Its a launch after all.

Soo was the  ps4 and pro. 

it is somewhat impressive, considering time of year for the launch and potential scarcity of it in some places. It appears to be sold out in Japan which would imply if more were available it would have a higher first day sales hardware number.

again though, the majority of consoles launch during the holidays .... to directly compare even the PS4 launch day with the Switch launch day would be ridiculous, anything launched near the holidays sells giganticly. In line with that Nintendo didn't put out a gigantic stock because its spring, historically not a busy time for gaming sales really at all

even Japan actually buys more games around Christmas time than any other time of the year

Obviously we have no idea yet if the Switch will be a great seller in the long term as most systems do pretty well at launch. But to use the PS4 as an argument against the Switch is silly as it launched in November versus March (huge difference). Its safe to say if the Switch launched in November with a huge inventory it would have gigantic sales as well (pretty safe to assume when in the Americas and Japan it is somewhat hard to find in urban store shelves)

Off Course that is matter, in holiday season console are not purchased only buy hard core fans, beaucuse that what people do in holiday season, spend a lotsa money and buying lotsa things.

Agree that isn't really hard to understand that fact.

So!?

Switch sold 330k in Japan and it would sell more if there shortages.

And why cant we celebrate a good Nintendo news for a change?

I never said that this is confirmation that the Switch will be a success, but that is the first step to be successful(hence the might in my last post).Really, Nintendo simply cant catch a break.
