if switch only only does a million in november and it  won't do that much better in december, it had a lot of great deals this month plus a mainline pokemon game, people are way over estimating pokemon and smash strength to sell hardware like i been saying all year.

Plss

Stahppppp

Why? Let them talk. It´s funny to see how ps4 fanboys argue about Nintendo Switch sales.

It seems people didn't notice that if Switch did indeed sold 8'2M until CM, that means that Switch sold around 900K with one more week of sales in Nov. That mean that Swith will barely sell more than 1M in November, not a amazing number at all. Something feel fishy about the numbers at the moment because it seems it sold a lot more. Maybe will still need to wait until NPD to see more accurate numbers.

Something is off with the numbers definitely because the wii's best selling black Friday weekend/cm  is only 800k.

 

My best bet would be that Nintendo has taken their last confirmed number for the US which was 7,38m at the end if October & maybe 900K for BF/CM and added them together, which equals 8.2 million btw and then not included whatever they've sold in November upto that point? I have no idea but it could be a theory lol.

Well those same 5 days period for Wii would be very strong in any case (Wii had crazy sales) and Switch having best those 5 day period and better than Wii means we talking about strong sales in any case for that period.

Also like RolStoppable wrote, Looking at VGC's estimates for Black Friday week in 2017 (472k) and taking NPD results from last November into account (770k), it seems reasonable to assign ~400k to the five-day-period in 2017. So if 400k is the base value and sales grew by 115%, the result is 860k.

We also know that Switch had its best week in US, meaning that beat even launch Switch week in US.

 


Thats a PR, and Nintendo already had some weird PR statements before, so it wouldnt be hard to imagine they focused on sales for that just 5 day period and just add that to LT numbers (including October) and thats why they said "more than 8.2m", and that versions fits most when you calculating numbers. Also, have on mind that even with that more than 8.2m we comparing Nintendo internal vs NPD numbers.

NIntendo has one weird statement  in the last decade and that's mario kart attach rate, which is totally different then giving clear LTD numbers. what's the chances they  got it wrong again, basically slim to none.

No, that's just one of latest, its not only one.

See my above post and I've already outlined the issue with the Wii since were going off of make belief numbers when we have no idea on which 5 days were the best for the Wii nor do we know the figure for that either ... 

Well we probably talking about 5 days that are part of 2008. 800k  week because that was biggest Wii week in that period. Also like I wrote,  5 days period for Wii would be very strong in any case (Wii had crazy sales) and Switch having best those 5 day period and better than Wii means we talking about strong sales in any case for that period.

Yup that's what I'm gonna do, but if anyone wants to bet 2 week avatar control these will be very close to npd numbers, let me know.

Right but what time period and figures are you using to deduce the 1 million for Nov figure?

switch in the US at the end of october was 7.38 million units sold according to NPD data we have, according to nintendo as of November 26 it has sold 8.2 million, so that actually les then a million, but this is that I will be using till NPD comes out, nintendo data is some what off sometimes but its the best data we have for now.

 

There was one year where Nintendo stated the Wii sold more than 3 million in December and the figure was actually 3.8 million.

 

Therefore the Switch could be way up but for some reason they are way behind on the numbers.

Dude that was over 10 years ago and the huge differences here is this is a official LTD numbers and the number they gave was 8.2 not 8 million.

We got a bet already so I'm fine, however I would like to know what you are expecting from the NPD based on this?

Roughly a million?

My point is that they've given out conservative info before and by a full 800K.

 

Doesn't mean that's what's happened this time but since its happened before its always a possibility.

 

And Dude, this is now and the huge differences here ate official LTD NUMBERS ARE over 8.2 million. They literally say more than 8.2 million. We Don't know how much more and they've done it before regarding my links in the above post.
