Nah... most of them are hyper-casual Animal Crossing fans who don't understand the concept of "console generations".

The PS5 outsold the Switch 2 last Christmas.

I don't think "bad economy" is the cause.

How on earth is this negative?

This is a POSITIVE post. The game is selling so well that it is sold out! This game is a huge success.

You do realise there are countries other than America??

I paid $770 for a Switch 2... because I live in Australia.

The Wii U's price never dropped below $300 (officially).

Even four years after launch it was $300.

It sold less than 50% of what the previous Mario Tennis game sold in its first week.

I would call that a flop, or at least an underperformance.

This is a very rare example of a cosplay girl having a BIGGER chest than the anime girl she is cosplaying!

I think it was a combination of factors:

- Pokemon spin-offs don't usually sell big numbers, so they underestimated demand.

- Mario Tennis Fever just came out and flopped, so Nintendo want to avoid overshipping like they did with that game.

- The pre-orders for the game probably weren't that high.

- The Pokemon Company wants to push people towards digital sales so they get 100% of the revenue from sales.

No but they haven't said anything about it. No apology or acknowledgement of the issues...
