Umbasa.
Kids play Splatoon, real gentleman and lady go for DQ.

What makes you say that?
unlikely
half of that probably (my opinion eh, they still make raffles, 200k would mean it's available everywhere at least for 2 days)
This upsets me. Nintendo needs to fix thisWhelp I missed out on a Switch. Went to my local Yamada Denki at opening. About 30-35 or so in line. No lottery or anything just a good old fashioned run for glory. I reckon maybe 10-15 were sold. Lot of disappointed faces, lot of lost sales. Sucks to know this was my last good chance to get a Switch for the foreseeable future because they rarely ever get them in stock at this location.
Ah well, might as well get DQXI and try again at Odyssey's launch. Hopefully the lack of popularity for 3D Mario will give me a better chance.

Yeah, personally I'm not too gutted. Feel sorry for some of the kids missing out.
Check tomorrow some stores are seeing two shipment/sales days.

Doesn't sound like there were a lot of bundles made. At this point, I think I'm fully expecting a disastrous number like 45k for next week. Hope I'm wrong.
Any sales(x) if x < +infinity will generate disappointment.

There are restocks all over for launch day, even locations with limited restock rates, and there are *two* major sales periods for stock right off the bat.
That's more than ARMS (and probably MK) but some of you are predicting numbers *less* than ARMS. What logic leads one to this nonsense of a conclusion?

It is also discounting how many preorders there were, the number of system available for lottery and the number actually sold will be very different this week.
172,421The number will be 96,104 exactly.

Hmmm...I wonder what would really not disappoint.
Is 500k disappointing? I'd imagine no?
400k? No, again
300k? No, again
250k? No, again, but perhaps this is a turning point?
200k? No, but perhaps not happy either
150k? No, but not happy either
100k? Maybe yes? Still a big leap from previous weeks. So in context, "Yes, but muted disappointment"
75k? Yes
50k? Yes
That's where you're wrong. We'd have people wondering what Nintendo were doing holding back stock for so long.
Which means I'd have to revise the statement:
Any sales(x) if x <= +infinity will generate disappointment.

This is probably actually true....
Is there a middle point though? Like 250k perhaps, where it isn't too big and isn't too small?
Hmmm....
I imagine that if they had not done any bundles then the average weekly shipment to Japan would be about 45k, the sales dropped a bit 10 weeks ago to about 28k a week. So if all those went to making bundles then I should expect somewhere around 210k, if it is too far off that mark I will be a bit confused as to what is going on with the manufacturing and shipping of the Switch.

I didn't see anything about it here, but did the eshop in Japan crash last night/this morning when Splatoon 2 went up like what's happening now in NA?
I know, I meant did it happen for the release in Japan too?
Really sad to that Super Ping pong trick shot isn't at the top 10. I love playing this game on my switch.Nintendo eShop Sales: July 13th to July 19th

The interesting part was the NPD figures that were leaked
So this shows what is most likely that the April shipments are indicative of the Switch units that were shipped by air because May had a huge shortage.
Layton is number one on the AppStore, I wonder if people are buying it there, that's where I got it. I hope they are, there can't be enough Arimura Kasumi.
Oh and Splatoon finally showed up at 4PM. Excuse me.
I don't think so, I think the only reason they shipped those units by air was so they could get those sales within the Fiscal Year and have better numbers to tell shareholders. Don't think it would be worth it otherwise.
Part of the dropoff after April also could've been because Nintendo was blowing through the stockpile they'd accumulated before launch. They also probably started stockpiling more in May since there were no major releases.
