You dont see how retarded it is to claim something lost momentum if something else sold better

im going by Nintendo official report. It was 14.86 million in December. It has sold 400K in Japan alone since December.

400K japan 

650K US

it should be at 18 - 19 million by their next investor meeting. (April)

Nintendo themselves stated they are planning to ship 25 - 30 million switches this year alone.

So 40 million is an understatement.

I ll be surprised if its close to 40m by this holidays.... lets just say that.

It seems highly unlikely to me.
I also dont understand why Nintendo would make 25-30m of them, and I doubt they ll do even 20m this year (sold through).

Id love to be proved wrong though, feel free to quote this in years time.

We don’t know what their fall line up is (which is usually the strongest). And Nintendo sold most of their hardware during the holidays.

If Pokemon comes out this year, it will not only match their internal projections but surpass it with ease. (unless there is more shortages)

Losing momentum can only be done by the sales of the console itself.
If you would have said losing marketshare you would have been spot on

If Smash + Pokemon come out, yeah it ll probably do over 20m.
Without pokemon I think it ll be just abit below 20m (sold through).

However Im not expecting Pokemon Switch to come out this year.

Well, the PS4 is down year over year in February, so it isn't unfair to say that the PS4 is losing momentum.

it is slightly, i expected it to be much worse though, especially with the xbox fire sales.

if you compare it to sales last year, switch was at 910k by the end of march, this year it will be down from last year for sure at the same time frame.

Still as bad as Quickrich saying the Switch is loseing moment (because it had 1 bad month of sales).
Your takeing 2 months and saying "loseing momentum" for PS4.

Do you see the irony?

Full picture:
PS4 is still 299$, has price cuts comeing this year, has God of War + Spiderman..... theres little reason to assume it ll be down YoY (ei. Loseing momentum).

I don't think its unfair to say ps4 is losing a bit of momentum compared to last year, of course that can easily change.
