Splatoon deserves good sales, I hope they bring it to nx around launch.
Piss poor hardware sales though yikes.

Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Kinda disappointed that OOT3D sold better than LBW. Any idea on how much that sold?
Both sold Amazing. BloodBorne sold over 2 million by September, i can see over 3 million LT.

So 69.05 million Wii U software titles* of which 34.02 is the top 10 (49.3%). If one were to dig around I suppose you could get more of an idea of first party total.
*-Discs and downloads of discs (what will Fatal Frame 5 USA count as?)

While the supplementary releases schedules never have anything that wasn't known beforehand (if a game isn't canceled it'll be TBA on the list for several years) I found this surprising too considering that the subtitles were first revealed by NOE. However, it is true that NOE have not announced how the game is to be released.

(Updated as March 2015 with the info available).
Thanks. Looks like it won't exceed 3 million.
Yeah compared to the best selling gaming machine of all time it's indeed laughable.

Thanks to shinra-bansho for updating title and info in OP.
You can take a look at the most recent Corporate Management Policy Briefing here: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/141030/index.html
Yes/No. The Financial Results Briefing I believe will be together with the Corporate Management Policy Briefing, not separate events. That's the difference basically.

Six months ended Sept 30, 2015:
Software revenue: 100.46 billion yen, of which digital revenue: 21 billion yen > 20.90% digital share
For comparison:
Six months ended Sept 30, 2014:
Software revenue: 91.21 billion yen of which digital revenue: 10.7 billion yen > 11.73% digital share.
I wish we had breakdown for DLC/digital downloads so we understand better where this growth is coming from.

According to this:
http://jp.reuters.com/article/2015/10/28/idJPT9N12602E20151028
21 million amiibo have been sold (not sure if it counts cards), that's an increase of 10.6 million since March.
Download sales were at 21 billion yen for April to September, up from 10.7 billion last year
Sorry if I missed this already being posted.

It's likely it will (if it hasn't already).
LBW was picked for the new Select line.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The systems were released in a completely different market. DS was well before the massive infiltration of iOS/smartphone/tablets. Not sure why these numbers would be unexpected when that is taken into account.

I believe the Corporate Management Policy Briefing / Second Quarter Financial Results Briefing is usually at 10:00 AM JST, so here's a preliminary countdown:

I have a feeling it isn't great compared to GBA, either.

So they made a profit this quarter?
0.75M Wii Us sold?
Fingers crossed NX can reverse there hardware fortunes,but great they still make profit
Profit, profit, Nintendo just stop it.
Man Wii U sales are bad. I remember when we thought 15m was the worst it could do.
Um maybe because they were unexpected by most people that frequent these threads. Anyone who claimed that smart phones were affecting portable sales was smugly shouted down and promptly told how DS sales were amazing and how 3DS was out pacing the DS in sales. Let's not pretend most people were predicting 3DS sales to drop by more than half from the DS.
Good wiiu sales. Up yoy and might even sell what they are expecting in the fiscal year for the first time ever. I think 15 million till it stops selling is a lock now.
The 3ds is quite bad though, but it will get there. It will certainly pass the 60 million, but dont think it will get to the 70's...

It was always scheduled for Spring 2016, just bumped up in JP and EU.

So Star Fox is officially Q1 2016 now. When they announced the delay I thought they had said Spring.
Q1 means January - March. That really isn't as much extra development time as I had hoped.
Spring for Pokken means it's probably getting the end of May slot too.
FE: Fates not being Q1 is kind of worrying to me as well, I really hope they don't position it as like a next August or later game.
Actually, I'm pretty surprised at how much isn't Q1 apart from Hyrule Warriors 3DS and Star Fox Zero. I think it indicates they're going to really be holding on to stuff to space out the 2016 schedule. This is probably most of what we'll see next year :/

Splatoon shattering even my pre-launch predictions(2.0-2.5 million by the end of the year).
So we can pretty much say this will be the next big Nintendo IP.
Super Mario Maker has done very well as well.
Happy Home Designer still can phantom that it's the top selling 3DS game.

The problem is that that niche is only going to get smaller as time goes on.
Courting a more mainstream and (particularly young) enthusiast audience isn't just a matter of increasing sales and pleasing the share holders, it's important to replenish the ranks of the hardcore fanbase that will naturally wither over time.

Pretty decent results by modern Nintendo standards. Still for next quarter I can't see them keeping up with higher yoy sales as a whole. WiiU might be but 3DS will be too much down solely because of Japan (New3DS launched in Japan last year during the quarter).

Right, while Wii U/3DS software sales aren't trivial and probably preclude the possibility of NX outright bombing in between the console and the handheld, with rare exceptions, you don't buy Nintendo hardware in the first place unless you attach a high value to Nintendo's IP.
Such figures don't prove that the audience that values Nintendo IP that highly isn't shrinking every year, or that they're capable of reversing that trend.
I'm pretty sure it will reach higher than that but not much...

I don't think it will ever get to 15 million.
There is a god!
Meh sales overall, but I still love some of those Wii U attach rates. Also, nice that they managed to post a profit for the quarter.

Will be interesting to see how much emphasis they put in releasing performance data for smartphone apps, beginning in the next quarter. It used to be solely a games platform business. Then amiibo were added. Now smartphone apps.
The world is changing. Nintendo is changing. Exciting times!

They're projecting to sell 2.2 million units in the rest of this fiscal year which would get them to nearly 13 million sold by March 2016.
Even if they don't sell that many, those units will obviously get manufactured and will at least go to the Big Lots bomba bin to clear out inventory.
They are still setting Project Guard for 2015? We have 2 months left, and we still haven't gotten a clue what it is supposed to be in the end.

I expect NX by Christmas season 2016 and I highly doubt, even if they were able to get to 13 million by 3/16 that they will ever sell 2 million more.

I, for one, look forward to spending $60 on a design document in a box with some download codes to pre-alpha footage.

Will they get manufactured though? What was the initial production run of Wii U units? From what I have gathered they have yet to sell out of the initial units. It probably wouldn't make sense to re-start the manufacturing process just to sell maybe another 1-2 mil units before the NX hits.
