I will be one of those Nintendo fans picking up Cafe day one, I bet Nintendo could meet their projections using just their loyal fanbase and early adopters like they almost did with 3DS. Selling almost their 4-million by the end of the last fiscal year.

They didn't come close to selling 4 million 3DS systems last fiscal year.  They didn't even manage to ship 4 million.

Nintendo sold 3.6 million 3DS units in its launch month and fiscal year. That is 400,000 units short of the 4-million units. You make it sound as if Nintendo should have sold more then 4-million units in one month. Sure sales right now aren't the best but Nintendo did nearly reach its projections.

Also as I said Nintendo was counting on early adopters and their loyal fanbase for sales. They didn't market the thing worth crap. If they could get those kinds of numbers without any marketing at all then when they turn up the heat and start marketing theirs no telling what they are capable of.

3DS is close to DS sales on a weekly basis and that is not half bad considering the device has no product awareness. I think when Sony launches NGP Nintendo will launch that 500-million dollar marketing campaign and kick some serious butt.

Also according to Reggie Nintendo doesn't want demand to out number supply. So Nintendo is stock piling I bet come this winter Nintendo will be ready to unleash hell on Sony!
