I don't understand why Nintendo is having so much trouble stocking Japan if NA and Europe aren't having stock problems. Shouldn't they be putting more stock in Japan then?

Because in NA and Europe is selling pretty well too. What's the point of create a stock issues in other places? The problem right now is about the production volumes, they can't supply the demand WW... A least they are going to reach those 14 - 15 millions sold first year... and that's not bad at all.

???

What are you implying? Is this some sort of conspiracy? Why are all the retailers lying to us saying the supply is constrained?

Chris1964 Can you stick Vinnk's post to every mc thread until the stock issue is over?

Like every week I just want to get it on the front page that the Switch is still supply constrained. It selling under the 200k that many expected is due to lack of supply. Demand is still very high. Online retailers are still selling used units fo over retail price.

OK, carry on.

I think it's actually a good week for both Sony and Nintendo when all things are considered.

Sony made the choice to have the PS4Pro be the MH limited edition, so though they couldhave probably sold more units with a slim model I guess that's what they wanted, putting emphasis on revenue there.
Nintendo is still supply constrained in JP, choosing to priviledge foreign markets as they know domestic is pretty much their backyard and they will sell whatever they put in it. Could be considerwx "arrogant", but it's probably good business to make sure you don't run out of stock in very contested markets.

Uh, switch being supply constrained in Japan is a fact. We have countless reports of it selling out from retailers, along with even more anecdotal evidence from people actually in Japan. Do you have evidence to show that it is now in stock?

The Xbox One X is still supply constrained, right? I suppose that's good news for MS - they have a console in Japan that's consistently selling out.

I don't know how Nintendo hasn't fixed the Switch supply issue in Japan. In the west you can walk into just about any store and buy one. In Japan they're holding lotteries and constantly selling out.

Next week will be full of milestones for Switch titles:

- Splatoon 2 will be over >1.5M physical in Japan and will overtake the original in LTD sales Splatoon finished 2016 with 1.532.079 sales.
- Super Mario Odyssey will surpass >1M physical and become the second million seller on the system in Japan.
- MK8D will likely pass >900K and is looking like the 3rd title on the Switch to pass >1M physical this year
- Zelda:BotW has a chance to pass >700K and with Wii U sales will be closing in on that million.
- Most importantly 1 2 Switch will crawl past >300K and likely has a chance to finish the year around 350K

Yeah theoretically that makes sense- demand is at its highest for the west right now, but in Japan demand has seemingly been extremely high since launch. So if Nintendo is trying to satisfy the seasonal demand for the west now assuming the demand in Japan won't change after December then it's a reasonable idea.

But realistically I don't see them shipping 300-400k in any month after December. Maybe early January?

They could theoretically push Switch Hardware during the Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle launch in Japan late January

Sony has anything interesting/major to keep the hardware high in next 2 - 3 weeks? or its only hoping for good holiday buying frenzy?

So yeah, it's the lowest FW for any game in the series yet, but it's also the first game in the series that a) releases in the first year of a system and b) doesn't release on 3DS.
The tails of the games are massive, so I don't worry about this game. I wonder what its digital share will be. The game is ~500 MB, and digital is becoming more and more mainstream, so it's the ideal game to always have with you on the Switch.

Insane Mario bump, and a solid opening for Yakuza.
Xenoblade 2 dropped harder than I expected it would.
Was really hoping Nintendo would have had the stock to make 200k+ weeks happen for switch. Guess not.

Will Xenoblade having "good word of mouth" finally be put to rest?

The game is a technical mess and its suffering for it (and for other stuff).

they cant just go
"hey Target, do you have Switch Units? send em to this addresses in Japan"

shipping is done by bulk by tankers. no plane, so shippments are sent out at best 2-3 weeks before they hit shelves. the only way for Nintendo to actively re-locate stock will be by plane and that will eat up any profit by unit sold and likely even more.
