Wow. The Switch is gonna surpass the 3DS.
Its getting close on doing my friend.
||It’s close to, good job comrades…good job…||
||This time nothing can stop us…||
But nobody wants to stop us.
Sold 21 mil. in year three. Best year so far by quite a bit.
When will I able to buy it on store? I want to play Animal Crossing
I wonder how the scalpers have affected those numbers. Like, how many of those scalped system generates income from game sale?
Does scalping really even affect sales numbers?
You have the scalper, buying 1 unit.
You have the buyer in need of 1 unit.
If you remove the scalper from the equation, you have a buyer in need of 1 unit.
You still end up with one unit sold, all the scalper is doing is raising the price of the transaction for the buyer.
Only real way I see scalping affecting sales, if they can’t move the merchandise.
But that would only mean that someone needs to reevaluate their choice of profession.
The real question is, how much the production capacity and/or forecasting affected the end results.
Well, I was thinking about the correlation between those scalping bots and articles stating it’s impossible to get a Switch nowadays because of them. The Animal Crossing Switch is heavily scalped atm. Probably not that impactful overall, but it makes me wonder though.
I think this is being viewed too much in a vacuum.
1. If somebody buys a Switch at $200, that price point may allow them to purchase games and a Switch Lite.
2. If somebody needs to spend $350 on the Switch, they won’t be purchasing as much from Nintendo afterwards.
Good time to look back at old comment threads.

I can’t wait to see the Switch surpass the 3DS
The fact that AC did this so quickly is amazing. The fact that Pokemon didn’t do this first tells you something about the Sword/Shield reception.
