Depend of what that 3,5 means.
If it means 3.500.000 Switch Sold is overestimating
if it means 3.500.000 Smash Sold is underestimating (Japan sales as basis)

I was joking dude, the 3,5 was part of the joke ^^

Oh.

The release has been apparently delayed. I don't think we know this officially yet but a few people have said so.

i know i know, i wasnt that serious too. I'm part of the problem with ERA predictions. im in the team 2,5 Switch and 4,5+ Smash. Is just that 3,5 is in middle of both of my predictions. Wanted to know what that 3,5 means.

I could be wrong but my understanding is there are some technical glitch issues at NPD that delayed the release (unrelated to the actual results), so prelim numbers aren't out.

byDoS said:
Idk, but I think there's something wrong with the NPD data, not with the Switch (nor the other consoles) sales numbers themselves.

Told y'all

Skittzo · Jan 18, 2019

I guess that would also explain the lack of Nintendo PR.

Sigh. Well, there's always next week.

Switch sold 1,999,999 units and NPD is trying to find an extra couple of units sold somewhere to save Benji from being bombarded with notifications. Good guy Mat helping a brother out.

This is clearly a sign that the SouljaGame Console outsold everything else. Cleary.

Maybe someone at Wal-mart switched the Switch product code with Jif Peanut Butter and they're trying to deduce which one is which.

In the meantime, snacks are apparently going up UP UP!!!

portability, like single-serve snack foods that fit into busy lives, unique and enjoyment, like unique flavor mash-ups, according to NPD's Future of Snacking report, which shows what snack food consumption will look like in the future and the opportunities for growth over the next five years.

The report also found that consumers snack food choices aren't limited strictly to flavor. Emerging attributes for snack food consumers are snacks that encompass uniqueness and sensory elements such as texture, heat, and aromatics.

"Snacking is no longer just about eating when you're bored or eating for additional sustenance," says Portalatin. "Today and in the future, snacking is about solving small problems for consumers, and those problems present opportunities for food marketers across a variety of dayparts and needs."

Do you think somewhere out there there's a forum having financial discussions about the viability of extra cheese in fritos? Making charts and prediction for what the biggest snackfood is going to be? Flamewars between pepsiheads and Mondelez maniacs.
