| TheSource said: To be clear, Nintendo's quarterly report said 16.5 million Wiis would be shipped from April 1 2007 to March 31 2008 (the fiscal year). Through June 30, 9.27 million had been shipped already . 5.84 million had been shipped through March 31. Originally, Nintendo projected 14.0 million to be shipped from April 07' to March 08'. 16.5+5.87 = 22.37 million Wiis shipped by March 31, 2008 if Nintendo meets projections. I think Nintendo will beat their projections slightly, which is why I have been saying ~ 20 million sold to gamers by December 31, 2007. I suspect the March 31 2008 total will end up near 24 million (remember Wii Fit is coming in Japan this year, and it is potentially the biggest thing in the history of the industry, and Mario Kart which has huge selling power is coming to the USA in Q1 2008). |
sooo let me get this straight if this is what you belive to be true and you back up you projection with fiscal numbers. from Jan 1, 2008 to March 31 2008 only 2.37 million Wii's will be sold. Thats actually more insane than other projections. you prolly dont mean it that way but also that would mean that there is No Production Problems and Nintendo is intentially holding back 1 million Wii's a month to keep the demand high until november and then they will unleash 5 million wii's.
That kinda sounded like a conspiracy theory right there.
I say they can only Sell what they can make. They need more factories to produce Wii's and fast to accomidate the prjections.
