Viper1 said: You need to elaborate again. Way lower? What production problems? Do you mean the one reported back in August that claimed Europe may get pushed back to a 2013 launch? That's obviously been fixed as stock is coming in just fine. Also, 2.5 million from Jan to March is just 208,000 units per week. Considering we are talking shipped units, not sold to consumers, I dont' think this is a imprabable as you are suggesting. |
3DS
3DS is selling 30% or lower below the last year numbers... the Nintendo forecast is 14 million for March, 2013 (already lowered from 16 million)... they shipped 5 million 3DS at Sep, 2012 and they have just more two quarter for ship more 9 million... sorry but the sales is low compared to last year so it's impossible to ship more 9 million until March.
Anyway it's known by Nintendo... http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/nintendo-downsizes-forecasts-by-70-after-weaker-than-expected-3ds-sales/
Wii U
They have issues in production with Wii U and that makes the company sent to retail less units than demand needs... I can't see Nintendo with shipping more than 2 or 2.5 million units of Wii U this year.
After that they need to ship 3 to 3.5 million until March, 2013... you know it's almost a "record" for a Q4 quarter for any company... the Wii with better sales than Wii U shipped 3.43 million units after the launch in March, 2007.
I don't see Wii U doing the same the Wii did.
