Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Q1 2016 results: 940k 3DS & 220k WIIU shipped ( Net loss: 240M$)

Nintendo should focus on more mobile titles, the correct game in mobile can bring lots of cash with microtransactions.

As of digital gaming revenue last year you can see:

Glad software sales were at an increase.

Terrible quarter for Nintendo. Hardware shipments are shocking, mainly the Wii U. While the 3DS is not anything special it's done well to be almost flat YOY.

I wonder will they need a price cut to shift the stock before the NX releases?

 

Also Vgchartz overtracking the Wii U although we knew that already.

Sad to see such poor results for Nintendo.

Terrible quarter for Nintendo and it will continue throughout the whole year...

3DS:
940k / 3 = 313.3k (~ hardware sales in one month)
313.3k / 4 = 78.3k (~ hardware sales in one week)

Wii U;
220k / 3 = 73.3k (~ hardware sales in one month)
73.3k / 4 = 18.3k (~ hardware sales in one week)

This is not how this work. And keep in mind this is shipments, not sales.


Of course this is not accurate. I only wanted to show the average of both consoles. ^^




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Does this include retail revenues, or does this exclude that? Considering CoD sold 20 million - I'd expect CoD total retail to still rival top mobile competitors



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

It only accounts digital revenues.

Those 3DS numbers seem "off". Back in May, the NPD report from Nintendo had said that 3DS had passed 60 million units, yet the Q1 report puts shipments at 59.79 million, so something is not matching here, unless they overshipped somehere and they got the shipments back.

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

You can't say those numbers are off for the simple fact are confirmed by Nintendo.

Basically, the 60 million annunced in the NPD report was just a lie. lol.

And there were a bunch of people saying that NX in late 2016 would be suicide for them, another year or two of Wii U would be fine.

this need to be reinterated again.
