Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware August 1 to 8 - Switch Continues Dominance

It's almost like the Switch is popular or something



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

It just continues with no end in sight.



Chris on Era was expecting 100K / 200K for NSW week 32 and 33 in Japan due to Obon. Because of the holiday we get numbers for both weeks next week instead of any numbers today, but that might mean adjustments could be in order.



Feel like the switch has topped out at 350k for quite a few weeks. This must be where production/shipment limit is.



Absolute roundhouse kicked everything. Absolute domination. But yeah, hoping for at least 200K from Obon week.

It used to be putting up 400-450k a week back in late June-mid July. Nintendo is certainly capable of more than this.

Those weeks were because they withheld stock to make more units available for the release of paper mario.

174K LOL.



Switch is like some big D-bag with a giant **** pulled out to show it off, swinging it around like a drunken cowboy, smacking stuff, breaking lamps and such... Also drinking really bad beer and pouring it all over the place while saying “It ain’t whisky, so who-the-fug cares???”

Women are all around pretending they don’t like the show, but can’t stop watching.

“Look out! Animal Crossing!”

“Remember a couple years ago! Smash!”

“Know what time it is? Splatoon!!!!!! Skeet! skeet! skeet!”

“Wanna see my legendary Pokémon?”



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
