Re: Nintendo Switch Has Sold 4.7 Million Units Worldwide

@Steel76 To the ones who doesn't know. (Taken from here: https://home.kpmg.com/se/sv/home/nyheter-rapporter/2017/01/se-news-tax-on-chemicals-within-certain-electronic-products.html

"Sweden has introduced a new tax on chemicals within certain electronic products that are sold in or brought into Sweden. The tax took effect from 1 July 2017, and impacts various white goods and electronic products including (amongst others): ovens, fridges, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, telephones, routers,
games consoles and computers."

"For in-scope white goods chemical tax will apply at a rate of 8 kr/kg, and for electronic goods at 120 kr/kg, with a maximum tax of 320kr per product." A Nintendo Switch costs around 3500kr/390€/420$ without this tax.

So, my theory is that our Scandinavian Nintendo distributor Bergsala, placed an order on a ton of extra units before the 1st of July so it wouldn't be effected by this tax. And that's why we have so many extra units. Or it could be the things you mentioned.

I need this soundtrack!

Lyrics:

Here we go, off the rails. Don't you know it's time to raise our sails? It's freedom like you never knew.

Moving fast, from the past, Say the word, I'll be there in a flash. You could say my hat is off to you.

Oh we can zoom all the way to the moon from this great wide wacky world, Jump with me, grab coins with me, Oh yeah!

It's time to jump up in the air (Jump up in the air) Jump up, don't be scared (Jump up don't be scared) Jump and your cares will soar away (oohoohooh) And if you don't pass through this world, don't even shed a teardrop. I'll be your 1-Up Girl.

So lets all jump up super high, (Jump up super high) High up, in the sky, (High up in the sky) Just go up right where we can see, You know that your my Super Star, No one can take me this far. I'm making the switch, Get Ready for this, Lets do the Odyssey.

Odyssey, Yes see (X7) Odyssey, Odyssey!

Spin the wheel, take a chance. Every journey starts a new romance. A new world's calling out to you. Take a turn, of the path. A new addition to the cast, You know that any captain needs a crew.

Take it in stride, don't you look from side to side, They're just different points of view. Jump with me, grab coins with me, Oh yeah!

Come on and jump up in the air (Jump up in the air) Jump without a care (Jump without a care) Jump up because you know that I'll be there.

And if you find you're short on attack, Don't make a stop, just get back. You're still our 1-UP Boy.

So go on and tighten up your cap, (Tighten up your cap) Let your toes begin to tap (Toes begin to tap) This rythym is a ballad for you. (oohoohooh)

Jump on it, your the superstar. No one else can make it this far. They compliment that 'stache, You've got panache. Ohh Ohh Ohh, Let's do the Odyssey.

It's time to jump up in the air (Jump up in the air) Jump up, don't be scared (Jump up don't be scared) Jump and your cares will soar away (oohoohooh) And if you don't pass through this world, don't even shed a teardrop. I'll be your 1-Up Girl.

Now listen all you boys and girls (All you boys and girls) All around the world (All around the world) Don't be afraid to get up and move. You know that we're all superstars, we're the ones who made it this far. Put a smile on that face, there's no time to waste, So let's do the odyssey!

You can try this yourself if you have Google Chrome as your browser or you can copy and paste the character descriptions into Google Translate.
But these are the ones that I found most interesting... But it's not their whole charachter description just a part of it.

Luigi:
"Mario and Luigi, if they are equal, they are hundreds!
The trademark is a green shirt on a green hat. Compared to Mario, it is a little tall.
And when you look closely, the shape of the beard is slightly different."

Yoshi: "I swallow the whole fruit and enemy character with a long tongue of pride and turn it into eggs."

Bowser: "Peach Princess is rubbed off to do evil, but every time it is tormented by Mario, they have failed ... .... "
"It is owner of strength, fire from the mouth is a powerful full mark!"

Here is a alternative translation of the last sentence:
"The owner of steroids, foil from stomatitis is compelling!"

Wario: "A splendid, fine thing, but is a personality that does not worry too much, you have what also president of the company called "Wario Company".
Favorite things is garlic. Whatever you want is your money."

Ver. 2
"It is gorgeous, I do not care much about details, but I am also president of a company called "Wario Company".
What I like is garlic. What you like is money."

Waluigi: "In order to store the Mario and Luigi and fight the power, it seems to be working hard at that hidden, also pretty hard worker of one side."

If you want all the characters and their whole description just let me know.

Mario profile translated with Google Translate.

Cheerful and cheerful, everyone's popular. Twin brother, Luigi is a good friend and a name combination.
With sports utility, I will do everything cool, tennis, baseball, soccer and car racing.
Actually, there seems to have been work of "plumber" a long time ago ....
I love Peach Princess, and if Princess Peach is in trouble, I will go help at any time.
With a good jump and various power-ups, I will face a bad guy.

It kinda sounds like a poetry.
