32M is my opinion, but that's just mine. Some people here are expecting more than that, around 33-34M, even 35M. So if that happens it could be possible.

For sure i think tops 5 million sold in Q4 I am expecting January to be good. 

I expect 2'5-3M in my case... so we'll see what happens. 

Well, i have to go to bed, way late for me here. I wish this info helps you discuss better with anybody here about sales. 

2.5M-3M for the quarter? I can see 2 million in January. 

Has the PS4 been adjusted down again? And Switch wasn't in the 400K in Europe too.

Haven't heard of people having issues by just using regular chargers... Does Nintendo give any heads-up on the box or any visible place to not try to charge your Switch without the dock? Because on the videos and idea to play Switch on plane since a lot of trips would outlive Switch battery I was under the impression that was acceptable to use a regular USB outlet.

My PSP, PSVita and controls for PS3 and PS4 all charge normally on usb.

I agree on BotW that is why I said BotW have a budget similar to other AAA games (not the highest ones, but those are the exception on AAA as well).

The 300 people that worked on it where on constant basis? (GT5 for example had 100 people routinely and 300 depending on the phase of development).

For the development to cost 60M excluding marketing then they would need more than 2M to break even.

Yes sure, and with marketing cost Nintendo would break even on 2M sold by taking the full 60USD no taxes, cuts and other costs right?

I believe the core team of zelda was around 100 people as well with other people coming and going between development stages, however you have to take into account that nintendo is the developer, publisher and platform holder, this means that the only money they loss on every copy is the retailer share and manufacturing costs, also the source fot the 2m break even mark don't specify if it is just developing costs or if it includes marketing as well. So again just a guess as we have little data on the matter.

Yes 100 core plus 200 floating (not knowing how many) is quite possible considering the scale and they changing for Switch and all the delays.

Well if they are talking just break even then I would likely consider all costs unless they give more detail. And yes their take would be higher than a 3rd party that is why I considered 30 instead of 20.

But anyway it doesn't make that much of difference in the points we are discussing. It isn't a low-end AAA game (10M) nor is the high end (over 100M), and could very well be quite close to GoW. Still unless it is badly managed (I don't think Nintendo suffers from this problem) creating 4k assets, highly realistic materials and textures, highly precise 3D models (and them cutting down to fit processing power) should cost more than more solid color palete with less subtle aspects.

There is a good reason for Indies to not use realistic graphics, they are expensive to produce. And of course I'm not saying Nintendo level of graphics and polish is anywhere near the Indies. Nintendo have best in class cartoon graphics and is highly specialized in it, but as good as it is still pertain on the cheaper side to produce.

Disagreeing about the hybrid nature of the console doesn't mean that the person hates Nintendo.

Everytime Switch is discussed here it becomes such personal for some people here that i don't understand it. You become a hater, a downplayer, an usual suspect or you have an agenda of some sorts if you don't align with the opinion of some people here. You end not arguing about the system itself but about the feelings of the posters. SWICH IS A GREAT CONSOLE THAT IS SELLING GREAT. But like with anything in life, we can think different in how good a thing is or why you think is good. Nobody should feel attacked if others feel different about your favorite console.

I consider myself Switch a handheld that can be used as a home console with a big TV, and i find the idea GENIUS for the part of Nintendo but i don't want Sony to copy the idea either. I think it work wonders for Nintendo because that way they can lead where they always did, handhelds, but at the prices of a home console. Like i said, it's genius and the best move Nintendo could have ever done.

If people want to call it a hybrid. It's fine, i can accept it i guess. But to me is a hybrid like one of those amphibious cars they made in Top Gear where they built a car to work in the water....XDDDDD. It worked but everyone with eyes could see it was a car.
