Why would they ship more for this week than for last week, when MK8D launched?Am thinking you'll get your 120k next week.

Switch happenedWhat happened to the Vita? Thing dropped off so much.
why wouldn't they?
With Splatoon 2 coming out in a couple of months out that's going to be hard to see happening.
With Splatoon on June and rumored Stars it's bot going to die soon
I just assumed Sunday has no sales because shops would be closed. I guess that's not the case in Japan?

Nintendo needs to find some way to up the production of the Switch. People want it and they simply aren't making enough of them.
Where do you live that stores are closed on Sundays?

Are shops closed in any major countries in sundays these days?
Don't worry guys, Xenoblade 2 will save the Switch in Japan!
If they began doubling their production in March, would we start seeing the results of that by now? I honestly don't know how quick the turnaround would be.
When was the last time a system did 100k+ in a non-holiday/non-launch week?
I heard Mitsuda ran away with a violinist and Takahashi called Sawano to step in tho
A lot of people (myself included) expected a one-times bump of 100k+ for this week, and then back to 40k-45k after GW. If they can keep shipments permanently higher at the expensive of lower shipments at the MK8D launch, that'd be fine as well I think. We'll see in the coming weeks.People predicted 100k because they thought that much stock would be made available. It's still a good number especially if Switch can stay above 50k for a while after this

the final blow will be next week (maybe)Minecraft can only do so much.
Germany for example...and please don´t ask why xD
Oh man looks like I've been living under a rock. Yeah, most shops are closed here on Sunday (Germany).
In France pretty much everything is closed on Sundays.
Like I said in the other thread, lower than expected for Switch hardware. Assuming its still largely sold out, I suspect Nintendo will keep emphasizing the West until the 3rd week in July or so..
Interesting. Didn't know this. In US and Canada for example everything is open Sundays.

Since the demand for the hardware is significantly high right now, and we cannot build up inventory over a long period of time (as we did before launch), we have greatly increased the quantity we can produce in a single month. We cannot provide any specific numbers, but we are boosting our production capacity to enable us to ship 10 million units this fiscal year and handle the season of high demand.

Another handheld come out.
Vita means death.
Switch happened
You mean Switch?Guess they just didn't ship enough units.
Good Mario Kart Debut though
To forecast only 10 million for the fiscal year then it is lower than 1 million per month... more like 600-800k per month right now with a boost to 1m near the holidays.http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1367503
We could guess they're producing 1 million Switch units a month for now until the next quarter figures come in which is unfortunately another 3 months away.
They're not going to do much more than that with their current forecast, it's obvious they'll ramp it up more come holidays but the rest of the year before it makes sense to not overstock the Switch.
ProbaYup by early may in Japan (so ext week) butafter on in the west

we know, we know
In Italy too many stores are closed on Sunday
Is there a software problem for the Switch in Japan compared to the rest of the world? In the US Mario Kart is the best opening day of the franchise, in the UK it beat MK7 and MK8 and here it's fine but clearly not among the best opening at all. And Zelda has a stupid 100% attach rate in the US and here it's meh.
Zelda I get it, it's not huge in Japan anymore, but Mario Kart?
True, we were hoping they'd increase shipment for MK8D significantly, but it seems they didn't to the extent we hoped. Now, if this is the starting sign of bigger week shipments, then it'd be fine, but if not then we are looking at stock crises for quite some time still.It's purely a supply issue. The Switch has effiectively been sold out since launch, and units sell shortly after being put on a shelf. Nintendo has yet to reach a point where anyone can walk into a store and buy one. Supply has not yet met demand.

Because MK sold 60-80% of it shipment... it doesn't looks like it had supply issues.
It's time for these devs to make the Switch, seriously.
We are forced to break out the Switch chalkboard already. And so soon after launch. For shame.Don't worry guys, Xenoblade 2 will save the Switch in Japan!

I suspect that in general a decent amount of excitement from Switch owners is Splatoon 2, so I think its possible attach rates aren't as robust as other territories.
Minecraft digital only is a real pity for Switch
I think it would have been a perfect fit in between Mario and Splatoon, considering how ARMS is still a mystery commercially wise
But even if that's the case, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe had a great debut, not that far from the original (in spite of 3 days tracked instead of 4 due to its Friday release. Also, Zelda is doing great.

Hang in there Bomberman!
I guess you say that due to the time it'll take to ship it to the west?
Next week's numbers (meaning this week), which is Golden Week, no?Why would they ship more for this week than for last week, when MK8D launched?
