But it’s still not enough, so I need you to work harder.
The initial shipment is the highest ever across all hardware.
I hoped they would push for another million units.
Still not hitting it?
In other words, at least a million people haven’t won.
>>5More than the population of my town.
>>525Are you being controlled by robots?
>>528It’s probably full of monitoring bots.
Even so, considering that only about half of those who qualified and applied are in the first round, it’s terrifying to think that there are actually several times 2.2 million hopefuls.
Did we somehow manage to get about half of it?
It is not worth evaluating since I have not won.
I’m so frustrated it’s killing me, but you really managed to gather that many.
The additional production will be shipped by June 21, so we are mass-producing at an incredible speed.
After its release, the demand will settle down, so it looks like it will generally be available around summer to fall.
NVIDIA is also happy.
After the release, the demand will settle down, so it should generally be available around summer to autumn.Since parents will likely be active during the Christmas season, make sure to get it by then.
I want to avoid interfering with presents for the children.
I don’t care how many units come out since I can’t get one.
Considering the number of currently operating Switch units, it seems very insufficient, but isn’t it quite a good amount for the first time?
“Even though the saying goes that the time to buy is when you want it.”
With such high demand, it certainly can’t be helped.
Don’t be happy even though you threw away the possibility of selling 2 million.
I heard that the version with Marika has the highest odds in the first round, so I applied for the normal domestic version in the second round and won, but it must have been the toughest hurdle…
>>17No matter which one you choose, there’s a 50% chance of hitting or missing…
>>17There are many things like multilingual (50%), Mario Kart (20%), and Switch 2 standalone (10%).
The number of items I want on the release day alone is several times this.
It seems that not only will it not be cheaper to buy later, but the price might actually go up significantly.
>>19That said, the Switch didn’t end up getting a price increase after all.
Isn’t it crazy that almost the same number of Mario Kart copies are being sold?
>>20What’s really crazy about Mario Kart is that it continues to sell well until the end of each hardware’s life cycle.
>>25The Wii and 7 have been selling well not just until the end, but even until their complete discontinuation.
A normal company would have gone bankrupt just from the manufacturing costs.
>>21Well, you have over 1 trillion yen in cash on hand, so of course.
Increase the professional controllers too!
Even if the numbers are correct, it’s tough because it’s not that we gained 1.2 million; it’s just that 1.2 million came in.
It’s all just guesses and speculations, but where did you pull the winner data from?
>>27Do you have a problem with something?
I wanted you to prepare about 3 million ninja points for the first time.
>>28Aiee…
>>28Do not hide.
>>28If there are that many, you won’t be able to hide…
>>28Endure more.
I wonder where the production site is.
Mario Kart 8 is a monster that has almost always appeared in the software sales rankings for 10 years, so its status is different.
>>32I wonder if the Switch continued to sell well because there is one console per person.
In Japan, it may sell just by being released, but is it okay overseas?
The U.S. is really messed up.
>>36I’m just doing advanced information warfare.
If you’re not going to buy it, then I’ll buy it.
>>36It’s okay, it’s already sold out.
The only ones making noise here are the so-called “Geha”.
However, over there, the gaming community is as lively as it was in Japan in the 2000s.
It’s still just a guess, so we won’t know the real numbers until June.
It looks like 8DX will continue to sell well even if W comes out.
>>38It has compatible features.
There are too many people who are not satisfied.
>>39
It’s better not to believe anything other than official announcements.
It’s too early for the release!
I guess it’s already piled up somewhere in a warehouse.
But only 60,000 units are sold on Amazon.
>>45I got annoyed this morning when I saw an article saying that it’s easier to get things from Amazon!!
It’s unreasonable to expect to achieve a demand of 2.2 million people who meet the official domestic requirements with the initial shipment!
I’m really sorry for my selfish request, but I want you not to release it until I win.
>>48There are people who say this sometimes, but isn’t it the same as not being released if you can’t get it?
>>58But I don’t want to see only the people who got it first enjoying it…
>>67Cutting off the internet…
>>67Stop the internet.
>>71I get irritated thinking that you’re probably having fun even after quitting the internet…
>>58You want to curse and kill the guy who plays with me even though he can’t have me.
Does America even have the luxury to buy game consoles in the first place?
I’m being tossed around by Trump and it’s a mess.
It’s 420,000 outside of My Nintendo… No wonder it’s not hitting…
It seems like there are many people who won’t just cancel the others once they manage to get one, considering the situation where reselling could easily double the price.
>>52Considering the hassle and the fees from the flea market site, I might make at most 20,000 to 30,000 yen profit…
Absolutely do not buy from resale scalpers.
There’s hardly any games to play except for Mario Kart on the release date, so there’s no need to force yourself to buy resale items or bundles of unsold software.
I hit the Mario Kart set, but…
Think carefully.
>>53That’s an unnecessary extra comment.
Someone said it was impossible for the anonymous to exceed a million in shipments, but it turns out they exceed it normally.
>>55It’s not confirmed yet, so I don’t know.
>>55Well, there were times when we sold that much even before online shopping.
>>55If we follow the volunteers’ survey, we can expect around 300,000 to 500,000 for the first My Nintendo release, and considering the retail situation, I think it will be on par with My Nintendo.
Unless it is officially announced, it’s just a prediction, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out to around a million.
I can’t help but think, why are bookstores and passport shops I’ve never heard of getting into sales?
Well, if you had prepared 2 million copies of the Shine Post bundled edition, they would have sold, right?
Have you managed to secure at least one unit by now?
If it exceeds 1.2 million, it will surpass the PS2, which has been number one in history, so it’s no wonder the bald guy is making a fuss.
>>64On the contrary, wasn’t it crazy that they were making so much for the PS2 back then…?
Since the Switch had 300,000 at launch, it’s increased four times.
Not enough…
The only thing we have to worry about spoilers for with the launch of Switch2 is Shine Post.
In other words, Shine Post will sell a million copies.✨
If I can’t get it and there’s a Nintendo Direct, I’ll become Devilman.
>>72There’s no heart of justice.
>>75Aaaahーーーーーーーー…
>>72It’s done every June, so they will probably do it again this year, right?
Since I haven’t won, it’s the same as being unable to prepare a single one.
There’s no software that I really want to do crazily at the moment, so I’m just watching with a smile, but for some people, it must be a matter of life and death…
>>77The most unfortunate ones are the fans of Shine Post who have been waiting for the game to be released for three years.
>>77I applied for the lottery just because something is trending, and I ended up winning, which makes me feel a little guilty.
Mario Kart has become quite enjoyable when you hit it.
I think it’s not something to resent those who have gotten it before me, even though I can’t get it on release day.
Not winning means I didn’t win the Switch 2.
How many units do you think can be shipped each month?
It seems like there will be a Switch 2 Direct around mid-June to early July.
The initial 1.2 million is impressive, but from the following week, it will probably be limited to around 10,000 each week, so it’s still a long way to sell 2.2 million…
>>83I think it will hit right away if it’s a multilingual version.
>>83I heard from someone anonymous that it’s 100,000 units a week.
>>87Certainly, the Switch sold that well for a time, but whether they can prepare that many units for the Switch 2 is another matter.
>>83If anything, the demand itself would likely be greater just because there are no lottery rights…
It seems that Switch sales in Japan alone are around 35 million units, so 2.2 million is nothing at all.
>>105It feels like they hold about one-fifth of the population.
>>125Since it includes Chinese resale, the demand domestically is slightly different.
The portion purchased domestically will definitely be counted in the domestic total.
>>832.2 million is merely the number of people who meet the application requirements for My Nintendo and have applied.
If we include people who regretted not winning later and those who want it but don’t meet the application requirements, it seems there would be even more potential winners.
I think there are people who can only apply as the primary member because of the family account (in other words, for their family members).
I don’t think it’s even 10,000 a week; even during times of low supply, the Switch was selling 20,000 to 30,000 units a week in retail.
>>83Does that mean you were preparing the initial batch for 120 weeks?
Of course, there are a lot of Mario Kart enthusiasts all over the world.
It’s so frustrating to think that others are enjoying something I can’t buy.
The analysts’ prediction was between 6 to 8 million worldwide.
If we take 1.2 million out of 6 million, that would be about 20%.
The share of the current model is about the same ratio as Japan’s.
I will dare to play 8DX on Switch 2 here.
If we move up the shipment and run out of stock by the end of the year, it would be a disaster.
If the new Zelda game had been released at the same time, I might have cursed the world and become Ganon myself.
I don’t have that worry, so I’m taking it easy.
Are there more Mario Kart sets than individual items…?
>>95Overwhelmingly
>>95At least on Amazon, it is overwhelmingly so.
For now, it’s a hardcore hardware aimed at enthusiasts, and the price is too high for casual users.
I think the challenge is whether they can create games that will still appeal to casual gamers even after reaching the enthusiasts.
>>96No, the best-selling organic EL is currently 40,000, so it’s not that expensive.
>>109Since it’s organic EL, it should be something that only enthusiasts buy, don’t you think?
>>157Before its release, it was said here that the standard version would sell the most in the future, while the OLED version would not sell as much as the Lite.
It’s a pity that the Switch is finally reaching its limit and I got disconnected…
I made more than I thought; there is also a risk of initial defects, so I thought it would be a bit fewer.
Every time a Switch2 thread is created, a YouTube link is posted, but what is this about?
Are you obsessively following that YouTuber?
>>104Just an insane person.
>>104Isn’t it that fans are posting it because they want you to see the video?
>>121I don’t think someone who clings to the bulletin board is a true fan.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold 70% on the Switch, so those who don’t want it are the minority.
>>106Naso
The initial batch is not good; the grapes are sour.
>>107It doesn’t seem like this initial batch is really an initial batch, so it should be fine.
>>112But there are probably defects that can only be understood once the user actually uses it…
It would be nice if I could get it before Air Ride comes out.
If they have produced over 1 million units for the initial shipment of the hardware itself, it could be said that they have prepared a sufficient number when viewed historically.
I wonder if the part-time lady at Switch2 is working hard assembling it…
>>111FOXCONN Various
It’s difficult to just say to double the production because we need to manufacture, have a place for inventory, and also transport it.
Why isn’t there any for me?!
If you’re planning to play Mario Kart online,
Those who started earlier might say it’s unfair because they have the advantage of experience points.
Shine Post fans are certainly pitiful.
In this day and age, being fully operational and still missing opportunities is just unavoidable…
I hope I win the 3rd lottery.
Seeing other people play with the real thing makes you want it, so you might enter the lottery…
I think it’s a fairly courageous decision to surpass 1 million units.
It’s terrifying that it still wasn’t enough at all.
>>123Everyone wants the Switch 2 too much problem.
>>120Everyone, right?
There has never been a hard (console) that sold a million units in the first week, so it’s impressive how well this was prepared…
>>126I guess they were confident that it would sell that much…
It wasn’t enough at all.
>>126It’s not that there aren’t any, but it goes back to things like the PS2 and SFC.
In the last ten years, new hardware hasn’t sold over 350,000 in its first week.
If it’s really over a million, you’re really working hard… I know you’re working hard…
In other words, due to my winning the Switch2, there is a possibility that the other three have been disqualified.
I would like to send bouquets to all the unsuccessful candidates with heartfelt gratitude.
Thanks to you all, I was able to get my hands on Switch 2.
I want them to prepare 3 million units of PS6 after seeing this.
So, where’s the sauce…?
I’m jealous that cabbage won.
“Take that, Konozama!”
There are more Mario Kart sets.
I guess I should change it now after all…
>>138In terms of winning odds, the multilingual version is the highest.
>>138However, multilingualism has the highest probability of being accurate.
I will keep playing 8DX on Switch 2 as well…
I won a lottery at the electronics store!
When the clerk said “Congratulations!” the stares from the surrounding people who didn’t win were painful, but it felt good.
>>141Is the lottery done on-site?!
>>149Take the sales card to the register.
It would be interesting if there was a system where only people who won a lottery at the register could buy it.
>>159I’m scared of the way home.
Well, personally, I do want one now, but the downside is that there aren’t any games I want to play right now.
I’ve heard that Mario Kart often comes up as an option to buy since the expiration date for seaweed kunbu is approaching.
Once you apply to the Nintendo store, you can just leave it alone and eventually you’ll receive a winning email, so it’s really easy.
As long as I win before the new Zelda game comes out, that’s fine, so I’m feeling relaxed.
I was able to escape from this stage of killing and competition.
The regular price of Mario Kart is too high, so I’d rather get the bundled version that can be bought for basically 4,000 yen.
It would probably be too late to switch to Mario Kart now…
The people who say that the unsuccessful candidates have no chance are often the ones who gave up from the start and didn’t even apply.
Isn’t it different?
Isn’t it possible to prohibit the listing of Switch 2 on Mercari and Yahoo Auctions until the end of the year?
>>151It will only be a one-sided victory for Jimoty.
I also got a Mario Kart set on Amazon.
I will continue with the official reservations until it arrives.
I entered about 40 times with my friends and won just once…
If you handle things behind the scenes, it will usually go well, including in retail.
No, 70,000 is tough…
Well, I don’t understand why just being region-free makes it go up by 20,000 yen.
>>156It’s the opposite.
It’s 20,000 yen cheaper only in Japan!
>>156You can freely participate in the Splatoon festival.
I got foreign furniture in Animal Crossing.
Using kanji in Pokémon has certain advantages.
>>156It’s like spending 20,000 to buy a chance…
If they raise the price of the Switch 2 before it spreads, it will cause an uproar.
>>160But they’ve announced that the Mario Kart set will be discontinued by the end of the year.
Before it spreads widely, there is definitely a chance that the domestic version will end for now.
>>160I don’t think they will raise prices.
There might be a limited edition that will be discontinued in Japan.
>>160Still, those who want it will just buy it normally, so it doesn’t really matter if there’s a fuss.
>>160People who want it will appear from time to time, and I think it’s better to think that it will rise if it becomes unavoidable.
At this point, there are already quite a few advantages compared to overseas.
What was the winning rate for the second-round multilingual version?
I had predicted that the number of people flooding in after seeing the results of the first round would significantly decrease the winning rate.
>>161It seems to be about 50%.
It seems there is none for me.
If we make the lottery itself a paid gacha, it could become quite a profit.
>>168It’s a paid gacha for 300 yen a month, right?
>>168No good.
>>168At the point where you’re giving your personal information to a strange shopping site, it’s like a paid gacha.
>>168There were several chains that said if you shop now, you can participate in the lottery.
Honestly, I think it just worsened the image.
>>185It feels bad to say things like “get a credit card” or “subscribe to the newsletter” as if they are entitled, even if it’s not happening right now.
>>199Ordinary humans have credit cards, you know.
>>204I don’t think we’ve talked about that.
>>204It’s the affiliated credit card of that store, right?
>>204Everyone else has it from other companies, so stop with the vague responses.
>>199I actually want credit card acceptance at all stores.
A person of questionable identity is bouncing.
>>199If we do nothing, they’ll say it’s favoritism for resellers!
>>217The conditions like “purchase over a certain amount” or “cardholder required” are favorable to resellers since they usually buy in large amounts.
>>217They’re already making a fuss about shopping conditions like spending above a certain amount and favoring resellers!
I think it would be nice to buy it by autumn since my goal is Pokémon.
Where did the figure that the multilingual version is the most common come from…?
>>170There aren’t many units.
The price is high, so the number of participants is small.
It seems that the Mario Kart bundled version will end production within the year, but I have a feeling that many people who want it will end up not being able to get it, and if production ends like that, it’s going to get chaotic.
The initial lot is fine because I’m scared of defects…
The advantage of the domestic version is that it can block overseas cheaters, right?
If you were in Japan, well, yeah.
>>175The internet is also in a closed country configuration…
>>186Well, of course.
If you could connect to overseas stores even with the domestic version, it wouldn’t make sense.
>>196No, it’s about matching.
There is a lightness in the air that only the winners know.
Since paying for Switch2, my mind feels about 30% lighter.
I feel that this is the world of the chosen ones.
In numerical terms, it’s nearly halved from DS to 3DS.
The transition from Wii to Wii U is a level I don’t really want to touch.
Given this, increasing the initial shipment of Switch2 to be more than that of the Switch is quite a crazy venture, isn’t it?
>>179What do you want to say by deliberately confusing cumulative sales with initial shipments?
