Last years one was terrible...

Surely this year will be an increase.

I guess we should see similar or a bit higher shipments for the Wii U this time around, not only because of HW and the lingering effect of MK8, but those bundles that were release around mid-September, yeah those that were released without a very specific release date(unless I missed something)



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

So,what should we expect?

WiiU> Xone? or the opposite?

Wii U shipping over 1.7m? lol no..just no. We know Xbox One keeps outshipping Wii U we just want to know by how much. Its a pretty good chance that Xbox One has passed Wii U in shipments this Q.



640k-660k sounds about right for WiiU.

1.4m - 1.5 sounds about right for 3DS.

Software sales for WiiU should be up compared to last year, definetly not the same for 3DS.

Less hardware shipped, no doubt about that, lower net sales and a bigger operating loss should be expected to me as well.

1m shipped is my prediction.



I'm start to feel that nintendo will miss their target in 3DS and with WiiU too for this FY. I fear that there is a chance that they will end up making loss this year again.

But i'm looking forward for the QA session on 30 Oct



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

460k for Wii U for me. Most releases ocurred in Japan during this Q, except HyWa which should do decently. Just a little better than last year sounds good to me.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I think that Nintendo will meet and maybe slightly exceed the Wii U's hardware FY targets (3.6 million hardware units), because they have a decent first-party software lineup for 2014  and a decent backlog of first-party software to justify those new targets. Like you, I predict that the 3DS will fall well short of its 12 million target for several reasons: 1. There has been very few enticing software released in the West that could move units, outside of Smash and maybe Pokemon (although I assume many of those who wanted a 3DS for Pokemon would have purchased one or gotten a 2DS last year with X and Y; though I still think it will move quite a few 2DS units this year) ; 2. I can see people in the West who intend to get a 3DS or upgrade an existing model holding back because of the New 3DS. I feel Nintendo's prospects with the 3DS would have been better this year if they could have released the New 3DS (along with a couple of bundles) by the holidays. For the end of year, I am very excited to see how many Amiibo figurines Nintendo sells and how they will contribute to Nintendo's overall revenues and profits (I wonder what the profit margins are on these figurines).

 

I am also looking forward to their QA, as I wonder if they will talk about their QOL platform (due to be announced in 2014 and launched in 2015). I am also hoping to hear more about the New 3DS in the West (although they might hold onto that information until January).



they only shipped 300k laster quarter? the mk8 quarter?
imho they should be down this quarter. but it Looks like inventory clean the last one

[x]500-750k
