And also, I mean, the... way Switch has become so mainstream.

Where it really is the ubiquitous console, where, you know, even when we talk about console wars and Xbox, PlayStation, you never can count for Nintendo because they're winning their own race and they've got, you know, my friends back in Missouri have three boys and they all have their own Switch, right? Like, that's how it's got to be.

There's been a lot of great responses to my UK jokes over there, but Nick here gets the best. Nick says, UK here, traded my family donkey and a suede in for mine. No way. A suede. A singular suede. Of course, this is all well and good. I'm glad that, what's his name? Oh, Pelham Smithers of Pelham Smithers Associates believes this. But we only listen to one analyst. That's kind of funny, all right?

And his name is Matt Piscitella from Sir Connor. I did not reach out to Matt. I could have done that. I should have done that. But instead, he blue-skied. And so we can just read that. Matt says, there are two things you need to have to reach the biggest console launch in history of whatever. Demand, but you also need the units to sell.

Having the biggest console launch ever would be cool, sure, but it'd primarily be a reflection on production. Can't read more into it than that, really. Real test comes in year two, when the price insensitive enthusiasts are satiated and units have to start selling to mass market. All the dynamics change. Great starts don't guarantee great finishes and vice versa, etc., etc.

TLDR, the supply chain, logistics, and operations folks at the console manufacturers are the real people that make this happen and deserve love and props.

So my question to you, Andy, becomes this. In Super Chat, of course, I want to know what you think of all this. Do you think they hit these numbers? Most likely. Have you pre-ordered? What's your pre-order story been since pre-order day? How many donkeys have you sold for yours in the UK? But my question for you, Andy, becomes this.

When do you think you're able to walk into a Target, because that's all we have out here, a Best Buy, no Walmarts, and buy a Switch off the shelf? A Switch 2 off the shelf?
