That's the most obvious educational guess possible lol. Especially now that Black Friday shopping has passed.

If you read it on a rush! It was obvious for me too for a moment. 

Wii u LT stands at 13.56, which implies NS2 sold 3m in November, it's extremely huge for its first November... That also traslates into being on track to smash Nintendos revised by 4m forecast (19M)for the current fiscal year, since at least 13.56m sold means 14.56m shipped. Whopping sales in November happen in the last week, while December is a month full of 4weeks (for this year) of tremendous sales (for most products).

I think it would imply switch 2 sold around 3.5 mil in October and November. But good points. 



Around the Network

If it's already happened I wouldn't be surprised. Lots of people like the Switch 2 while the Wii U was a massive flop.

I think we all forget that this is a handheld and Nintendo handhelds have always destroyed their home consoles in sales. Leaving the dedicated-home-console business was probably the smartest thing they've done since making the original Gameboy.

We own both a ps5 and a switch. The switch has never left its dock but for when we go on vacation. We have 2 kids. 

I think stating switch 2 is a handheld is an old argument and misses the point of what drove switch 1s initial success. It’s both. It’s a console you can travel with. 

im sure there are people that are the exact opposite of us where the switch cg has never been in its dock. Point is though its not JUST a handheld. 

its a hybrid home console. 

Call it what you want. It's not a dedicated home console. They stopped making those. The Wii-U was their last.
