| NintendoPie said: I understand that the consumers aren't the point of sale to Nintendo, but why would they want to project shipments when sales are more important? (Technically.) If a company ships what it expects, then those shipments don't sell, wouldn't that be just as bad as consumers not buying anything? |
Because it's not Nintendo or Sony's business, as it were, to project the sucess of a group of retailers. That's their job.
When Nintendo submits their quarterly and fiscal year data, it goes to the SEC. So even legally, they must report direct sales rather than consumer sales.
