And legions more ready to downplay it. Hey, they say no such thing as bad publicity so on behalf of Nintendo, I thank you for the free press and helping to raise awareness of Nintendo's latest product.

That want change fact that "Nintendo Switch is the fastest-selling Nintendo console in European and US history". |
Nope. But it will change what I replied to. "Actually good concept, great launch game and good marketing has its perks".
I believe that people who bought it are hardcore Ninty fans just like the ps4 did extremely well breaking records left and right without a great launch game or a "good concept". Whether it's selling thanks to the points you mentioned or not remains to be seen.

You can't calculate it fairly that way because the UK is a very strong gaming region historically with a higher disposable income than many areas of Europe where sales will be lower. Normally I think you'd expect consoles to sell better in the UK than France for example but the UK is actually a strong market for Microsoft and so its splits down sales somewhat. This is all too early to assese anyway we need to see a couple of months of sales figures to see a pattern. It is looking very positive though which justifies Nintendo's high pricing and even if momentum slows Nintendo can bundle or price cut fairly quickly if they have to perhaps September for the build up for Christmas. Zelda is such an amazing game for a launch. I rember Super Mario World on snes and Mario 64 on N64 being amazing and Zelda BOTW seems as good as those. |
Here's the thing.
If Nintendo can manage to sell out the Switch at 299.99 without a game and get good sales on games and accessories, why drop the price?
Chances are this was deliberately made. Once sales slow down, then a price cut and bundles come to boost it up. Remember that 3D land and the price cut made 3ds sales boost up by 200%- imagine what Super Mario Odyssey and a bundle (or 250 price cut) can do

Actually the console itself is really cool. Yes, I know the dock sucks. It can scratch the screen, but overall I was really impressed with the switch. |
It can scratch the screen... if someone is wreckless and doesn't know how to take care of their console. Seriously. I own one, there's no scratching the screen over at my house.

There's absolutely no way to asses why people are buying Switch without polling every single buyer.
Oh wow, that's amazing!!
I'm so happy for Nintendo.
