It shipped well over a million. It hasn't come close to selling through that initial shipment though. |
I think it will be rather fine. They could always price drop it if they want to offload inventory. But as that goes. 1,5 million "cardboard boxes" is not a fail.

In Spain sold 64.000 units. Best Switch game launch ever in that country.

If Switch sells 200k every single week for the rest of the year it ends up at 3.5 million. Are you expecting it to sell 200k next week? |
It wont sell 200k next week or possibly the week after but it will every week in December with some possibly doing over 300k.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Doomsday? Hyperbolic as always. Where have I brought anything even remotely tangentially in the same field or level as "doomsday ramblings" in my post in this thread or hell in this forum at all? I understand that not every enjoys math, trends, and data analysis but leave the snide commentary to the side unless you actually have something to note to critique please.

Let's see what happens when Japanese developers are comfortable with just making games for Nintendo only, should this domination continue. Possibly losing the Japanese market is for Sony a disaster that some aren't aware of. The recent happenings only made it more probable for me.

Why would Japanese developers completely ignore the gigantic audience outside of Japan?

Because Japanese developers primarily make games for the Japanese audience first.

As much as I disagree with Megiddo on a lot of stuff, I do agree with him here, namely for major titles, I do not think Japanese developers will ignore PS4/PC gigantic audience overseas. However companies like Level 5, will most likely start releasing exclusives like they did 3DS.
Middle Tier/Low Tier is where you might see a shift, namely with Sony's current Japanese policies.

It's definitely beyond sharing simple arithmetic on an online forum. There's a clear bias in your ramblings, not just in the Japan threads, but overall. In this thread alone, your agenda to assert Switch will be down yoy is extremely palpable.
