Wii U Forecast: 5.5m HW and 24m Games (that probably isn't too crazy - NSMB Wii U and Nintendoland will attach to almost all systems)
Wii Forecast: 5m and 50.5m games (again, not too crazy, they are half way there before the holiday quarter)
Wii + Wii U had been forecast at 10.5m / 70m before, so the forecast is unchanged (as Nintendoland likely wasn't decided as a partial bundle previously)
3DS Forecast - 17.5m for hw, 70m for sw, down from 18.5m for hw and 73m for sw. Nintendo blames the US & Europe for being weaker than expected.
DS Forecast - Still 2.5m for hw and 37m for sw for the year, as before.
HW Quarterly Shipments:
3DS - 3.19m (19m to 22.19m)
Wii - 0.62m (96.56m to 97.18m)
DS - 0.45m (152.05m to 152.50m)
SW Quartetly Shipments:
Wii - 15.27m (842.20m lifetime)
3DS - 11.64m (64.45m lifetime - including downloadable full games, but not 3DS Ware)
DS - 8.82m (917.61m lietime)
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
