the wii sold a bit over 100 million pieces of hardware. How many of those were Wii minis?

I know, your point is that it's possible for a console to reach $99, not that it's a guaranteed success or anything but the Wii mini being a non-factor most likely means nintendo isn't interested in reaching that low of a price. that's my point

Nintendo finally figure out that people that play video games aren't poor, they just won't buy things they don't like.

Price is still very much a factor for children which are obviously an important target demographic for Nintendo. Especially if they want multiple Switch consoles per household.

Secret to having a hit game



Make your character red

That Mario guy sure does make money.

How many Mario featuring games are we expecting for 2019 lol. We got Mario and Luigi and Luigi Mansion 3 already coming up. That would be a fun bet to guess

Just realized.
It's a fighting game
A racing game &
A party game

It always amazes me how far the stuff I talk about reaches out. Sometimes I forget how many people read these threads


Welp. December NPD release is gonna be a wild ride

I didn't think Benji had any affiliation with NPD, more that he has access to numbers from a large retailer/distributor/something like that?
It would be weird if an NPD employee would be casually discussing things in the same thread as someone leaking those numbers.

Benji if Switch doesn't hit 2 million we have to disown you

It will clearly be your fault for Nintendo missing their 20M goal.

"Early NPD report" when the actual NPD analyst hasn't seen any data for the month...

Yeah this is what upsets me

It's just me projecting stuff from numbers I have access to. This is no connection to NPD itself and its not me "leaking numbers". Its me just using an educated estimate where things might end up based on some of the data I have.

This is how miscommunication and expectations get out there

I've never understood the idea of getting angry with Benji or Mat. Like, what is there to even be mad about?

The people that get mad at me basically just say if something isnt 100% accurate that I'm making things up.

The thing is though I've more than proven myself over the years that's not true. I'm right faaaaar more often than not. So I dont let it get to me anymore

It's always amusing to see people asking for inside info about sales but get mad when it's not what They want to hear.

The console fanboy mentality just ruins these threads. (Then again, they ruin all thread)

The people that jump on people like you are most likely the same people that praise Pachter for his predictions :D .

Well it's harder to be wrong in a month like this where it's all more cut and dry than last month, and even then you were correct. Nothing to worry about.
