You can continue to insist that you know Nintendo's production situation better than they do. You can predict that they are going to miss their shipment targets by 4 million. I can only hope you come back in January for the Crow thread.

Arrogant like a prima donna, aren't you?

First of all, when did I say that I "know their production situation better than they do"? Quote me where I said that, please.

Second, ALL I AM SAYING, once again, is that while I hope these are indeed the numbers they pull off, I'm taking a wait and see approach because Nintendo has missed their target numbers in the past.

Doesn't anyone remember all the articles around June/July 2006 which suggested that Wii production had already started and that they'd have ample supplies of units come launch?

I'm not entering the sales figure pissing contest that this site loves so much. I'm just saying that I wouldn't be optimistic, especially when Nintendo has ALSO warned us that Wiis will be hard to find for xmas again this year. 

LOL. "Arrogant?" Aren't you the guy who derided the rest of us for pretending to be analysts, and then proceeded to demonstrate your own, obviously far superior ability at analysis?

You say you're not going to enter a "sales pissing match" that the rest of us love so much, despite the fact that you already concluded that they can do "14-15, but that's about it."
