Switch 2 is considerably outpacing the original switch and still outpacing the PS4/PS5 - the previous record holders for fastest launch

Pretty good considering it has the holiday lineup coming up

Let’s see if they have enough stock to keep up with demand

Hardware - Nintendo Switch 2 unit sales are trending 77% ahead the time-aligned sales of the original Nintendo Switch.

Don’t know if it makes it any better, but I don’t think that’s a shock collar

Just talked to a guy yesterday with the same type of collar

It makes a loud noise like a dog whistle

People keep saying that the Nintendo short looks like a Pixar film

I don’t see it

The complete lack of a description tells me it’s something more

I don’t think you green light a fancy animation with no purpose

It’s not even promoting their animation studio

Not much to go on for the Nintendo baby thing, but:
• unrelated to the Mario movie (no Illumination)
• Pikmin teases (music, single red Pikmin in the background)
• no switch logo so it might not be a game

Feels a bit like the Emio teaser. Lack of any details tells me it’s leading up to something.
