reverie on 25 May 2007
I agree with Erik. 1.5 million per month is not enough. The crux is that it's impossible for Nintendo to forecast real demand (both for the summer and for the holidays) and to produce accordingly as long as they haven't satisfied pent up demand and filled retail shelves with a good 1-2 million extra systems like MS and Sony have. They just need a non-sold out month as soon as possible or there will be a lot of tears again this Christmas. Kytiara, Nintendo could have reached the 1.5 million 2 months ago if they weren't that conservative. They should have started ramping in early February.
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
