Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Digitimes Rumor: Nintendo to ship 10-12m NX units in 2016

daredevil.shark on 30 November 2015

This deserves its own thread.

Upstream supply chain expects new Nintendo games console to achieve 10-12 million unit shipments in 2016
 

Nintendo's new game console is scheduled to enter mass production at the end of the first quarter 2016 and despite the fact that the Japan-based company is targeting to ship 20 million units in 2016, the device's upstream component suppliers expect shipments to only reach around 10-12 million units. Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) reportedly has been chosen to manufacture the device, but the company declined to comment on its clients or orders.

The new console is estimated to enter mass shipments in the second quarter. In addition to Foxconn, suppliers such as Foxconn Technology, Macronix, Pixart Imaging, Coxon Precise Industrial, Nishoku Technology, Delta Technology, Lingsen Precision Industries and Jentech will also supply components for the device.

Digitimes Research expects Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4 to achieve shipments of 13 and 18 million units, respectively in 2016, and if Nintendo's new console is able to ship 10 million units in the year, the company will then be able to maintain its competitiveness in the market.

Better headline for thread is "Mass NX production to begin at the end of Q1 2016". ;)

WOW! Exactly that!

Also, Q1 it's fiscal not calendar, so essentially it's Q2 2016...

When I read the title, I thought Nintendo was getting a new Digimon game :(
Well, does this mean that we'll get the NX sooner than expected?

Also, the NX inquisition is always watching. XD



You know it deserves the GOTY.

what is this article and nonsense?

its based on absolutely NOTHING, absolutely no references or information. why make a thread on such lack of information. this is just a joke in terms of speculation, like pulling a number and date from a random bag or magic 8 ball. absurd.

I'm still wondering if the NX will come out in 2016..

More Units than the Wii U has sold in its entire life span thus far? Doubtful. Nintendo has to prove to third parties that the market is there for them. That simply will not happen on Nintendo software alone. The Nintendo core audience is shrinking and has been for several generations (bar the Wii, which was an anomaly).

If true


It means all those people saying the Wii U wasnt going to be abandoned already by 2016 where basically wrong.

The console will be out relatively early in 2016 (earlier than most actually thought).


Plenty of people where saying 2017 earliest, and closer to 2018, they where in denial about the Wii U's state.

Alot of people where right in predicting it would be out in 2016 though.

 

 

*edit:  Foxconn  okay.....
