Nintendo is currently hosting their financial presentation and just stated this:

Bolded part - They do know that if they shipped more to Japan they wouldn't have this problem? 🤣

I made a thread because we had like 50 people on this site arguing about 14.86m being shipped or sold.

Sounds like a job for the mod team. Where were they?

Part of the argument

Did they at least pick the correct side?

Not at first considering they changed a thread title to state sold through.

I think that most nintendo fans knew the 14.86m number was shipped but when they saw the argument between a few people they just didn't want to say anything.

I mean i thought it was impossible for it to be shipped and as i was reading some said it was confirmed then it was not then it was confirmed again then it was finally confirmed it was shipments lol. Anyway, it seems disapointing but if you compare to any console, Switch is still leading WW which is insane. Does anyone know how much the Wii sold during first 12 months ? Isn't like 14.8 millions ?

13 is a unlucky number! Nintendo is domed!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

So like I initially thought, VGC readjusted down their figures down to ~13.2M units for the last year ...

With ~1.6M units in retailer inventory, warehouses and other channels we can finally put the Switch stock myth to rest and stop using Amazon as an indicator to measure stock or demand levels ...

Yeah, this thread definitely clears the air a bit. Rol's spot on with the figures, though. At the very least, 13m was obvious.

I'm very disappointed in you, couldn't believe you could make such a rookie mistake, you should know by now in all earnings it will be shipping numbers.  well unless you are new to this site.

Umm no, they have it at ~13.4 million

What stock myth? And who has used Amazon to measure stock?

It seems like you are arguing about things that dont exist.

What you're saying is - you aren't new to the site? Thanks for the info. ;)

Can we make a "Guess who's alt Quickrick is" thread? Lol
