Yep I can't wait to see how short they will fall behind the 9mil target
Remember this?
Have they even sold 3.5mln units ww by now? Their initial 5.5mln target is even more sad.
They will continue to massage expectations downwards throughout Q3 and Q4Yep I can't wait to see how short they will fall behind the 9mil target
Ha ha ha, I was even over-estimating it. Me. Over-estimating the WiiU.
31st is going to be eye gougy bad. Iwata having to say with a straight face "we've not... sold through launch shipment..."
I'm predicting the absolute maximum that Nintendo could report for Q1 2013 is Wii U unit sales of 4.25 million between April and June (800K shipped in three months / 267K shipped per month).
And that's at the absolute top end of the range...
I also expect a downward revision of their Wii U targets. It is impossible for the Wii U to hit 12.45 million units shipped by March 31st, 2013.
I think the 9 million was like, the running total they expected to reach, not on top of the 3 mill already shipped. I could see them maybe having shipped 4 million, but thats a whole lotta stock in warehouses when retailers sure aren't crying out for re-ups.
White Premium hasn't been announced outside of Japan yet has it? Could see that being a tidbit. Hell, if anything maybe the 31st will be the "okay so we have to price-drop now" date in time for western Pikmin and W101.
360 is doing quite a bit better in Europe than I thought.
I absolutely refuse to discuss Wii U anymore. I'm EA right now.
Nope. Nintendo actually forecasted the Wii U to ship nine million MORE consoles between April 1st, 2013 and March 31st, 2014. So 12.45 million consoles shipped in total.
Supposing Nintendo manages ~4 million consoles shipped in Q1, that's 8.45 million they need to ship in 9 months.

What? Are you suggesting that a greater than tenfold increase in sales is unlikely?ha ha ha ha ha oh my word.

Have you forgotten that Wii Sports U is coming out at some point?!

At this point I'm not even sure they can reach 9M total by Apr 14 so... yeah... some revision is bound to happen.
You underate "minor" markets share.
