| Train wreck said: In order for the 3DS to match the dollar sales rate of what Nintendo had projected early on (16 million @ 249.99) the current 3DS model will need to sell 23.4 million units this fiscal year, which of course it wont do. That's why the stock is still floundering and will continue to do so. Selling 16 million really means nothing in the grand scheme of things. 3DS sales are not a function of actual demand but a reaction to drastic change in price. |
Except what you've calculated here is overall revenue, nothing to do with actual profit. They were making a huge chunk of money on each unit sold at 249, now they might be taking a loss (rumored) or selling it at cost, which means no profit from actual 3DS sales, not matter how many. You're statement is false
