Yep. It should be the funnest in years. Nintendo is putting new blood in the sales race.

In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Trump never gave us the wall he promised :(

You should wait a month, the budget/debt limit discussion will probably be hard next month especially when he wants the wall in it and can lead to another shutdown.

I'm surprised we didn't get a shutdown yet tbh

I wonder if we could potentially see Wii numbers, oh boy.

I don't trust anything Nintendo says about supply. When it comes to judging, and then meeting demand for their hardware, they're either totally imcompetent, or totally full of shit about what's going on. Maybe both.

Well I hate to sound like a broken record here but in this instance there's been a global shortage of NAND flash memory components key to the Switch's production. So increasing production has been a challenge. In the 2 or 3 times this happened in the past with regards to their consoles (both handheld and home), they came in conservative at launch and ramped up production in a hurry, though with the Wii demand was just outrageous. They likely planned the same here, but upping production requires negotiating new contracts with component suppliers and the shortage has made that quite difficult.

I agree with all of that. I don't think my statement that you quoted indicates otherwise.
