Price doesn't matter as much when aiming for adult men. They have lots of disposable income. You just have to give them a product they want and market it well. Price would be an issue if Nintendo had made something that was primarily aimed at kids.

Thus the marketing strategy paying off. They have done well, better than I was giving them credit for prior to the data we have now.

I give them credit too. I did not honestly think they could market this well to adults, but Superbowl ad, NCAA Final Four ads, etc. commercials featuring grown-ups, etc., it's been a pleasant surprise.

This time Nintendo has a good idea, WITH a great execution. It's not about price or games too much, it's about perceived value.

I cannot even fathom the sales charts when a Pokemon game is announced.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

5-6m Switches sold by the end of June?

Extremely likely at this point.Hell, 9 millions before holidays is not that farfetched too!

I can confirm it, at least in my Wal-Mart though it lasted one day.

When I went to GameStop today to pick up Mario Kart, I asked the clerk if that location had received any more Switches. He said no, but that there were four people waiting outside the store before it opened hoping to buy the system. He had to turn them away :(
