wow, that's got to be the worst reporting I've seen in a long time, as the moron writer just uses basic math (sales / years) to reach their mysterious figure, somehow not understanding that the first few months represent the major spike in sales. :lol: :lol:

did you even read the article?

EDIT: I found the Nintendo-written fraud press report that these goofs copied, and they used Wii U sales from April 2016 and March 2017 as the basis for their bizarre claims. :facepalm:
I guess that means they outsold the PS2 and PS3 too? :lol:

what is deemed a "hot deal" is anything that you can slap a referral link on, remember that.

From mid November to end of December about 3 millions vs 2.7

But of course, it's was Christmas for the Wii U
All the nintendo switch sales hype articles direly conflict with that Wikipedia data. Headlines stating that the first month of Switch sales surpass Wii U sales in the first year, don't match up with wikipedia. It just seems like blogs are misinterpreting worldwide sales vs regional sales or fudging things for clicks.

It's clearly a hot item at the moment. The Wii U during it's first couple of months, as well as the Wii. It just needs to continue. More great games need to come out for it. They should improve on the faults of the current design, and the hold-outs (like myself) will buy it.

Come on, the Wii U sold more in it's first 30 days than the Switch. Don't tell me Nintendo have lower stock then the Wii U.

For those in Milton, BB had a dozen or so at approximately 245pm - all SKU's. Just came back from Shoppers and they have at least 4-5 Switched and plenty of Zelda's, Switch 1-2-3.

It was not a deal or a lighting deal... It was an item at regular price.

I'm curious. If someone found a link to the Nintendo Classic sold at retail price, would that be a hot deal or not a deal at al?

You could also play those games on an emulator and not waste 79$ just to look cool with your hipster friend?

these are obviously articles that are cut-n-paste out of a fudging nintendo press package, using fake figures to make the switch look better.

this happens all the time, and companies often fool quite a few dim-witted writers into posting their drivel verbatim. :facepalm:

No need to answer as no one will ever make such post for an item that can easily fetch for $500 on eBay. Smiling Face With Open Mouth

I really wish Nintendo could put more Switch and NES on the market, so that for people who want them could just buy them from any store anytime, so that we don't have to see regular priced Nintendo products over and over again on a hot deal forum.

Nintendo do this every single time they release a new product.

They create an artificial low stock to create hype. This is always the same story.

I have all real Nintendo console ever including the Switch and I know when a deal is not a deal. Rewarding a company for a marketing strategy of low stock and saying this is Hot just exacerbate the problem

It takes a special kind of...something to be rabid about a console that basically only has one new game and one remake.

Why is this in Hot Deals? This is FULL PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want deals Amazon preorders have 20% off. Get the other tech demo called Arms.
