So if they are producing 1.8 million per month and sold 1.3 million per month the last three months, that makes 500,000 stockpiled per month. If we assume they have been doing this for the past four months and will continue for October, they have an additional 2.5 million stockpiled. Therefore, 1.8 million available for November, then 4.3 million for December.

So take end of September sales (13.2 million) plus October (1.3 million) plus November (1.8 million) plus December (4.3 million) and we arrive at 20.6 million in sales by the end of December. Not too shabby.

And they called me crazy. Hahahahahahahaha!

 Same here, only they called me crazy for saying that Nintendo was ramping up production to stockpile not to rush all they can to market =P  

 

@Lingyis, not sure but its very likely that they are mostly interested in the profits from selling the hardware initially.  They may actually have a plan to help curb piracy but I would be beyond shocked if they were ever able to actually fully stop it.  Once you get to understand some basic truths about computers you realise that stuff like piracy isn't something you can stop with a built in protection alone.
