Reggie's logic here. "We were estimated to sell less than 2 million. But we sold 2.8 Million. That means we grossly overdelivered our estimates." It's like these dumb fucks don't understand the purpose of preorders. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

When it ended up selling 2.8 million, the product greatly exceeded expectations. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 26, 500th posts: 16; PiO ATTN: 2 Thank the lord, the PiOverlord!

That's why I preordered the Odyssey bundle. They've got a bunch available.

They did have issues getting the parts to make the switch, requires rare earth metals that are used for smaller devices, which means they are competing with Apple to get parts for the switch.

It's pretty well documented that we're burning through them at an unprecedented rate.

If they want to up the price of the switch of course they could get it easier.

This reminds me of when I tried to buy a component video cable for my GameCube. It was out of stock everywhere, and Nintendo discontinued them because they thought nobody wanted them. They don't understand supply and demand.

ZombieBird going all out again on the artificial scarcity shtick.
What evidence do you need friendo? Their expected sales stated BEFORE they released the console? Maybe that article explaining how they shipped switches by FUCKING PLANE to try and meet demand? Nothing will convince you so there's no point in arguing. Switch sales exceeded expectations so they had shortages, it's literally that simple, your hate boner is just too strong to see it. You're wrong, deal with it. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah ok, if they aren't doing this intentionally then they're incredibly inept at this. I mean that's basically what I'm saying. Normally you take preorders, find out how many preorders were put in, make that many units, and then ship. What they did was make the units first, and then sold out of preorders. --- ...
