It seemed like you were.

Nope, he was acting like it was crazy to think Central America is part of North America, i was just pointing out that a quick google search will show that its most commonly considered part of NA.

And it is for many people.You acted very rudely in my opinion, for something that is common in many countries, for which he had throughly explained.Basically, it was like you were saying that a country culture is ridiculous just because you dont agree to it.



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

This thread has made a really weird turn, going from the Switch and Mario Odyssey's sales to what counts as North America. Take it to PM. Heck, I'm even okay with someone making a separate thread about it, but this thread isn't the place.

Damn, Switch is that close even though PS4 and Xbox One launched in the holidays and sold 2.0M and 1.8M in 2013? That means Switch is selling even better than those two consoles in the non-holiday months! Awesome!

and neither had as severe stock issues. the switch is just pacing behind ps4 and Wii worldwide and holidays havent even arrived.

remember yall, if nintendo meets 14 million this FY (resulting in 16.7m total for first 12 months), it will officially set the record for most sales in a console's first twelve months in the market.

No, it'll result in 16.7 million for the first 13 months.

Yes it was rude to tell him to google it........again i wasnt telling him hes wrong for dividing it into 3 regions, hes the one acting like its crazy to divide it into 2 regions so maybe you should lecture him instead of me

How much do you think it will sell in March 2018?

Tough to say, but I'd wager it is notably more than 0.

Daaaammmnn.

Where's Colin Moriarty now?

Why is he being quoted here? I don’t see what he said wrong. People were saying that the 3DS was beasting in the US and when he checked the sales, it was at 2M.

I'm assuming you only asked this because you still haven't done the math.

Switch lanuched beginning of March 2017 (month before the new financial year); financial year will finish at the end of March 2018.
13 months.

Based on their forecast, Switch will be closer to 15.7 million in it's first 12 months.

He's wrong because he's suggesting that 2M in six months isn't successful. Once you take into account the facts that the Switch launched in March instead of Q4 (which does matter), the Switch's sales are pretty good. It had the second-best launch month of any system ever in the U.S.:

And sales in Q2 & Q3 were pretty good, despite supply issues:

The Switch ought to sell at least 4.5M this year, which comparing it to other systems' first calendar year performances gives us this:

So much factual yet misleading information in there.

- The Switch had more days on the market for the launch month that both the PS4 and the X1. Do a unit sales per day chart and the difference is highlighted much more. The X1 for example sold those numbers in 9 days.

- How are you calculating the Switch’s first full calendar year when this year won’t be its full calendar year? And are you including its launch month?

This is really bothering you, isn't it?  You want a daily breakdown? 

Do you think it’s fair to compare a system’s sales for 28 days vs a system’s sales for 9 days?
