Wow. I'm honestly amazed that you still can't seem to comprehend the concept of price elasticity of demand.

But you are correct. Switch truly is "fated" to sell like 3DS, even though it currently costs twice as much and is selling just as fast. It sure is a shame that companies can't lower the price of a product once it's on the market. It would be so simple, but, alas. You only get one chance to set a product's price. Better luck next generation, Nintendo.

Just another nugget of wisdom from fatslob.

We should for the PS4 and Switch (I'm not sure if Nintendo has released figures yet). Microsoft stopped reporting Xbox One sales a few years back, so we may not ever know those. I'd approximate 8m.

I still feel that number being a bit low for the Switch, but I guess we'll know more soon with NPD numbers for US and Nintendos Investors meeting end of this month for WW sales.

Why? Switch will hardly ever beat PS4 globally. Nintendo need to up their game in Europe.

But it's also largely behind the PS4 and the XBO in the US in weekly sales, which doesn't sound right, especially after all the infos we got that not only on Amazon, but also in brick and mortar stores the Switch was selling like hot cakes.

Till NPD comes out, we can't be sure.
