Sales - WW up April 9th 2011 - View Post

I'm starting to think that Nintendo rushed the 3DS because they knew Wii and DS sales were going to be atrocious and so to prevent a massive YoY drop on their revenues and profits. That's why they launched it just before the Fiscal Year ended, so that the first shipment of the 3DS was going to be included in the financial report. And that's why we aren't seeing much SW getting released for the 3DS, not even from Nintendo, because it was a rushed decision and devs are now delaying their games to enhance quality.

Not so wise after all, since the 3DS is getting bad press.

It's also going to bite them in the ass next quarter.  Assuming they managed to ship 4 million 3DS units this past quarter, I'd be surprised if they can ship much more than a million next quarter.  Wii and DS sales definitely won't be going up in the next three months either.
