How did the Switch manage 37K last week if there were stock problems?
They shipped a bit more because of the ARMS release - now its back to hoarding mode for Splatoon2/MHXX bundles.

This sucks.They shipped a bit more because of the ARMS release - now its back to hoarding mode for Splatoon2/MHXX bundles.
I'm just imagining Kimishima is one of those people you see on Hoarders, except his house is full of Switches and copies of Splatoon 2.They shipped a bit more because of the ARMS release - now its back to hoarding mode for Splatoon2/MHXX bundles.
The apparent legs are more likely because the game does not need to do big numbers to stay in the top 10 right now, there is still a long way to reach the PS Vita total sales (83.816). But yeah, it's doing great, probably more than 150K combined with digital now. I can't find any trace of a Ys game selling better. The game is also being granted a translation in french for the first time courtesy of NISA, which is of course nice for the european sales
So I'm guessing by the end of July we will have for 6 digits or more
Mario Kart 8 D
Zelda BOTW
1 2 Switch
Bomberman
ARMS
Minecraft
Snipperclips
Splatoon 2
That's actually kinda impressive for a console so early in its life honestly.

Yeah, also who knows maybe some games like DQ or Mana Collection could leg it out?Looking at sales for 1 2 switch and Bomberman, i think stuff like I Am Setsuna could have done really well if they had just held it for the Switch launch. Obviously hindsight is 20/20 though.
19./14. [PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition # <ADV> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2015.03.19} (¥2.400) - 2.140 / 985.899 <80-100%> (+4%)
Nintendo's annual shareholders' meeting today from 10 a.m. in Kyoto today. But media and analysts can't get in so no tweets from me. sorry.
Snipperclips is kind of amazing.
"There we go, no shareholder asked about the Switch shortages happening currently. That's why I said I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up about any clarification about the situation.
Now we have to wait until October iirc for the next time a Q&A happens.
"
Q: The Switch is currently sold out. What are you doing to resolve the issue?
A: We're trying to manufacture and allocate enough Switches to the appropriate markets based on demand and marketshare. We're planning on shipping 10 million by the end of the year and 13 million by the end of FY."
Not sure what else you would expect to hear unless you were hoping for exact timing for ramp up in shipments and what regions will get the most.
A3: Kimishima: Game devs flock to healthy hardware. Indies are booming. We plan to sell 10M Switches this FY; 13M by fiscal year end. contd https://t.co/LkihnsiycC
So bored.
At the 4k weekly sales rate the PS Vita is having, is it very likely the Vita won't sell 6 million units LTD by the end of the year?
Yeh it seems rather unlikely. It's sold 204K in half a year and barring a decent holiday, it'll probably sell around the same (aka low until holidays I'm guessing).
"
A: We're trying to manufacture and allocate enough Switches to the appropriate markets based on demand and marketshare. We're planning on shipping 10 million by the end of the year and 13 million by the end of FY."
3 million is the absolute limit.
So did the predictions many people made of 4 million Switch systems in Japan alone this year seem even possible?
So bored.

So again; Iwata is at fault. Great developer. Horrible business leader.
Is this translation right?
I read it as 10m this FY with cumulative shipment reaching 13m at the end of FY.
It is basically the same forecast posted in April.
... I think that's a made up quote to point out that whatever they say today would just be a repeat of what they already said in March.
What are they supposed to say, after all? "We want to produce more but can't, fuck Apple, YOLO."
It all depends, I guess. I bought in when their stock price was really low. On top of the already insane rise in value I also get dividends. Can't really be pissed in such a situation. Besides production takes time and Nintendo makes most of their revenue during the shopping period at the end of the year anyhow. Now if they can't make enough for the holidays I might change my stance. It may be different if you bought the stock when it was already high and are only in it for short term gains. But this is ofc just my perspective as a small time shareholder.I wonder what the Shareholders think about the shortages and failing to meet the high demand. I know the word of mouth is positive,but you ought to take advantage while the iron is hot
If I was a Shareholder, I would be pissed
Oh damn, I should read the posts first lol. Thank you for this.Dengeki data is out. 70% sell-through for The Alliance Alive. At least it should avoid bomba bins, since word of mouth is seemingly good.

Responsible for Wii & DS phenomenons BUT he didn't predict an industry wide shortage of NAND or somehow magic up an alternative from beyond the grave so he sucks at business leadering y'all

So FY went from 10m to 13m now? That means a ltd of at least 15.7m by April 1, 2017.Translation: "In advance we were able to secure parts only sufficient for producing 10 million by the end of the year and 13 million by the end of FY.

I should've clarified. I made this response up based on the other answers and information Nintendo had given. I wasn't sure what other information the poster I was responding to had wanted out of Nintendo other than the info already stated.Translation: "In advance we were able to secure parts only sufficient for producing 10 million by the end of the year and 13 million by the end of FY.

Dengeki mentioned that while the game started well with an average sell-through rate of about 70%, it was rather varied across retailers, meaning that some shops may still have plenty of stock.Seem stock is limited and used copies are more expensive than new one, the game is certainly safe from bomba bins.
店頭消化率はややバラツキが見られるが、平均で70%前後と順調な滑り出しを見せた。
Dengeki mentioned that while the game started well with an average sell-through rate of about 70%, it was rather varied across retailers, meaning that some shops may still have plenty of stock.
Of course, with good WOM, chances of it hitting bomba bins are low.
