I think the holidays could have a 10+ million shipment. I think a good comparison is Wii in FY ending March 2010.
Q1-2.23
Q2-3.52
Q3-11.31
Q4-3.48
FY-20.54

Agreed, i meant just the one quarter. |
Yeah but It'll be interesting to see though if and when Switch starts getting deals, price cuts and revisions, how it will spike sales later in its life. Having them early on is an advantage for 3DS as in this instance here, but Switch not needing them until later can become a bigger advantage to having longer legs than 3DS did.
Not sure you guy's heard about, but an investor bet 400 million dollars that Nintendo would not best investors expectations
Nintendo, in fact did beat investors expectations.
If there is 1 song that goes perfectly with this, it is this.

Still even that is only 20.4m and we're already behind that by 0.35m, atm I'm thinking my optimistic estimate is this:
Q1- 1.88m
Q2 - 3.2m
Q3 - 10m
Q4 - 3.6m
Full - 18.68m
Really I think anywhere from 17.2 - 18.9m is probably about right now.

Sure, i wouldnt be surprised if they fall short but i also think some people are counting it out too soon.

Good numbers overall, HW numbers are good especially when April and May were slow months in terms of releases, while lineup is quite stronger from June and when Nintendo said sales generally better from around E3.
SW sales are great and profit is great.

The weird thing is that they never explained why they shorted (bet against) Nintendo. They never commented on it. A $400m hedgefund comes out for seemingly whatever reason just days before this report and probably is going to burn that 400m for nothing. Wtf
So from a business standpoint it made perfect sense to rerelease DKCTF at full price. Like, we never had any other examples already proving that.

A probably counter argument will probably be that it could have sold more if it was cheaper, but that is neither here nor there. It sold very well despite detractors claiming it wouldn't because of that price.
Same also goes for Labo. It should have flopped, exactly also because of that "80 dollars for cardboard" rhetoric, yet it still sold well.
Will this type of argument ever stop? No, but that at least we have examples that prove otherwise.
