WiiU
NintendoLand - 2.33m
NSMBU - 2.01m
Total WiiU SW - 11.69m

Wii
Mario Party 9 - "over 1 million"

NSMB2 - 5.96m
Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 2.73m
3DS SW (fiscal year) - 39.56m

Hmm, numbers don't seem too far off, aside from DS maybe. This is up to December 31st right? So Ninty are going to ship less than a mil WiiU in 3 months...ouch.

Will have a proper look later and cast judgement then on over or undertracking. However it seems like adjustements of 100k at most

They are unlikely to even make that forecast.  With the incredibly low sales, and the huge amount of stock left over after Christmas, the Wii U will be lucky to ship 500k unless something changes before the end of March.



Vgchartz - 2012 numbers

3DS 13,993,602 (+6%) 27,243,664

Wii 4,911,170 (-58%) 98,574,693

DS 3,434,070 (-61%) 153,743,293

WiiU 2,245,161 (-60%) 2,245,161

 

Shipment Numbers:

3DS 29.84

Wii U 3.06

Wii 99.38

DS  153.67

 

Difference:

3DS = 2,597 (I think is too much on the shelfs, maybe 1.5m would be more accurate, so 3DS real number maybe is 15 million and 28.24 units sold at the end of 2012).

Wii = 0,806 (I think it is spot on. But I`m really disappointed, I think Nintendo could ship the magical number)

DS = -0,073 (Overtracked, I think it can be something like 400-500k (difference plus 300k-400k in the stores). So 3 million in 2012 and 153.34 in total numbers.

Wii U = 0.815 (I think it is slightly undertracked - I think 0.5 or 0.6 on the stores is more realistic for a new console)

Really good numbers. Congrats Nintendo.

Revised forecasts make sense too.



So profit for the quarter, down to slight loss from slight profit for the year. Pretty much what one should expect, I guess.

Good profit for the quarter but not good overall results. Investors will not be pleased with the direction (lowered forecasts) that Nintendo is headed, especially having shot all it's load with two product launches.



 

Shame, but not a surprise, about the revised forecasts. 4 million is much more reasonable for Wii-U. I kinda felt like the 5.5 million was a bit of a conservative goal anyway, but they've got plenty of time to shoot higher the next FY.

But the profit is nice. Real nice. Means that any losses they sustained on Wii-U hardware (i.e. needing to sell more than one game per console) must've been off-set by 3DS + NDS + Wii profits, or simply by people actually buying two or more games per Wii-U.



I'm happy for Nintendo. I think all of us have at one time or another questioned Nintendo's choices. They definitely play to their own tune. We'll see if they keep making the right moves. I don't see them going away too soon. Do you?

Didn't you expect the Wii and DS to beat expectations?  Nintendo just revised the forecast for both of them down.

Also, after all those weeks of you arguing the Wii U was supply constrained, and that Nintendo was shipping less to Europe.  Here we see they actually did the exact opposite.  They shipped 900k Wii U's to "others" compared to 800k Wii's.  I still have no clue how or why you thought that was the case.



The net profit guidance has very insignificant consequence as it adds little to the base of cash. The big picture is Nintendo was light not only on Wii U, but even 3DS. The tone has been set and the business model and enterprise value of Nintendo will be challenged again. One cannot operate a company based on its cash position. Nintendo has some serious soul searching to do as this fiscal turnaround has no substance behind it. Fundamentals are still deteriorating and much needs to done in terms of communicating Wii Us plans. This is no let's surprise our fans at E3 time, this is everyone and their mother will start kicking you when you are down time.
