Lol yeah. I did like what VGC done with the symbol.
Pocky Lover Boy!
Switch still in launch phase. If nin keeps the software coming they should keep the pace for a few months. Xbox is effing dead at this point, and I am very surprised that the PS4 held its ground despite the increased competition. Sony got EU by the balls it seems.

It's Sony territory Allright but it's not only that. The price is higher but more importantly, you can't find a switch anywhere in the wild (Belgium). Since launch I have yet to spot a switch in the wild. That's crazy two months after launch. It has never been like this for previous console releases. When I check online it's always out of stock. It can only mean that a) the console is selling out and b) that shipments for Europe are really low. I'm curious to see how it does when it gains popularity and becomes readily available in stores. Now it just seems like the thing hasn't even launched yet. |
My brother got a Switch yesterday, my mother (who bought it) didn't have problems with finding one.
Nice numbers for Switch, and the Wii U is now under the PS3

Ah, now that you mention it I did once see people roaming the streets in the UK waving anti-Nintendo signs! |
Well, for that particular week (ending March 25th), the Switch sold 15.5% of the european number in the UK. PS4 is not so far away with 17.4%, but X1 is, it sells 35.5% of it's european numbers in the UK. So it might less hate the UK brings towards Nintendo, than more love to Microsoft. The other consoles probably sell less than they could.

They said sold and not shipped, so I dont know what to tell you... |
Sold to retail is not the same as sold to customer. For Nintendo it is indeed sold, but it is not in the hands of gamers yet.

Apropos, open the link and read... Switch preparation and launch surely is related with 3ds stock situation but the main cause is Pokemon... https://www.polygon.com/2016/12/19/14006908/where-to-buy-a-nintendo-3ds It somewhere says about their FY16/17 forecasts 5m, 6m... They sold in 7.27m eventually ( 400k units more than last FY year, with 3DS being yoy down by 400k units in Japan...) !

Interesting, but this makes even more unexplainable how Ninty managed 3DS, if a Pokémon title can still make it outsell predictions and planned production and cause successive shortages. Maybe that first unplanned early price cut, lowering also the base price from which successive planned cuts would start, made HW lifetime profitability drop below the minimum that Ninty considered not just safe (3DS eventually became profitable also on HW alone, so the minimum safe level was reached), but also desirable, so, even if successful, Ninty couldn't wait for replacing it with a more profitable platform, and having to replace Wii U anyway, making its successor a hybrid was the perfect solution. Just a guess for a possible other reason besides the usual Ninty fear of overproduction that often causes temporary shortages when a very successful HW selling game is launched.

UK basically hates Nintendo, which is pulling the numbers down |
Ahem.
*adjusted for population
Switch is completely sold out again in the UK. Late May/June is when pre-orders are expected to be fulfilled.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!
Great Switch sales, though I wish european numbers were higher.
