Why not?First of all, Switch demand has not yet been met in the US.It had gotten much better, but Nintendo is still working hard to get it to where it needs.So there is bigger potential than what it did a couple months past.And as we have been seeing on amazon, it seems that the Switch has gotten a bigger shipment this month, at least for amazon.But most importantly of all, Switch biggest game yet is going to be released later this year(there is an argument to say that BOTW could actually be THE game, but thats another discussion), so I imagine Nintendo wants to put out as many Switches as it can to match up to the release of said game.And last but not least, we will be entering the holiday season as we approach the end of October, which could see an increase on the units of hardware shipped for this fact alone.

The only problem I can see with this is that Mario launches at the very end of October, and that most of its sales influence(and in a wish to not cause the drought of Switches through November) might be diluted through the next month.But while I can see that around 400k might the most likely scenario, I dont think that 500k is unlikely.I still think its a matter of how much stock Nintendo is able to make.

This is not the time for the stock explosion yet, that's the point. Now that Mario is there, is time for a BIG shipments, that's for sure, but Nintendo most likely want a huge Black friday and December.

They probabily want enough stock for a twice 1 million month in both November and December.

500k is not impossible, but it would be absolutely HUGE.

a twice 1 million would be the bigger surprise in my opinion, but I can agree with you on this!



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

Easily.Given how well its performing on Amazon, and again, its the release of their most iconic charachter, it will reach 400k easily in my opinion.Might be even more!

more than the 400k mark would be insane. If you are talking about 450-500k, that's not gonna happen. I mean, they could even sell 600k if the stock is enough, but is just not the case.

But yes, 400k looks like a realistic prediction for the month.

Your wrong, its going to do over 500k, im willing to put money on it :p

Are you quoting my posts or yours? It's just that I bold the asterisks and level the 3 columns up at the bottom, and every time you post these up they're without those adjustments.

I quote my own post so it never occured to me you did that. I'll fix it!

Why do you quote your own post? I just cut the last update. Doesn't it make for more work because you not only have to bring up Amazon, but you also have to cross reference my post (if I've made one)? 

How exactly are you doing it? All you do is cut from the main page and past to the Rich text.

It doen't take me much time at all, maybe a minute or two? I started quoting my own post becasue for some reason whenever I quoted you the format would fuck up when I got to software. No matter how many times I tried to fix it either it woudn't change or it would mess it up even more.  ¯_(ツ)_/¯
