...Nintendo literally doesn't understand the basic concept of supply and demand. I'm glad Reggie cleared that up for us.
Yeah I'm thinking it's you who doesn't understand things here.

Can you show me where he's bullshitting? They said they are going to ship 2 million first and shipped 2.8 million instead. And that analysts said they should be cautious with shipping after the Wii U and the abysmal reaction to their January Event isn't farfetched either.

Mostly the part where he says they "dramatically over-delivered". How can that be the case when you spend a large part of the year struggling to get stock on the shelves?
Ask yourself this: Over delivered on what? What is he saying they over-delivered on?Mostly the part where he says they "dramatically over-delivered". How can that be the case when you spend a large part of the year struggling to get stock on the shelves?
If they delivered 2.8M at launch then that's more than PS4's launch numbers over a holiday season at tbat. Seems like a reasonable number to have available.

He's not wrong, no idea why some are jumping at his neck.
Well, you see, when a man and a woman love each other very much...
So it's the analysts fault. That's fair enough I guess.
No need to jump on me. I'm not a Reggie hater.
It is your who misinterpreted the article and accusing him of bullshit and now people shouldn't jump on you? ��
He wasn't lying, or mistaken, or saying anything non-factual at all here.I got that wrong. Reggie isn't lying about the Switch stock situation.

hmm..I still think he's a professional bullshit artist though.

Reggie should have quit while he was ahead, back when he was at his peak. Right after his first public speech as a Nintendo spokesperson, right after the "kicking ass and taking names" comment or whatever the hell it was he said.
The company made 2 million units available at launch, despite, Fils-Aime said, analyst recommendations that demand would be much lower.
Maybe they should ask GAF, source of all video games-related wisdom:Ask different people next time.
I'm always confused as to why when Reggie, who works for Nintendo of America, says something, people bring up countries in Europe. Why is that relevant to what he says at all?
Maybe they should ask GAF, source of all video games-related wisdom:
(For those too lazy to count: That's an absolute majority for "Switch won't do better than the Gamecube".)

*Reggie will remember that*God im so sick of his face. I know he is probably a really nice guy and what not but i ... Im just sick of his face, cant help it.

I feel like people are being intentionally obtuse.
Everyone was saying, "2 million is way too much, especially after the Wii U disaster. Switch gonna bomb yo!"
Nintendo shipped 2.8 million anyway.
And even that wasn't enough.
So as far as all the experts believed, Nintendo way overdelivered. But sometimes you just smack a home run like the Switch and you have to play catch up.
Again, the idea that Nintendo is artificially inducing shortages is laughable.
Over delivered can imply 'doing a good job' and that certainly wasn't the case.
Reggie says 1+1=2
Some people apparently don't understand that 1+1=2
Some people get mad
Its no ones fault, the product was too successful, you simply cant produce that much stock in such a short time.So it's the analysts fault. That's fair enough I guess.

I still think he's a professional bullshit artist though. I've been listening to him for years. He never fails to entertain me with how he can turn any kind of negative about Nintendo into a positive. It's his job and he's very good at it.
He's not hating. Just telling the truth. He genuinely is one of the biggest bullshitters in gaming, it's kinda his job to be. But if you even dare mention that on GAF you get Nintendo fans all over your ass.
Is switch the biggest launch ever?

okay.gifOverdelivering for them would be considered underdelivering for Sony/MS.
