Copying this info here that I posted on another thread, for Reference:
Year | Nintendo Net Sales as of end Sept. | Nintendo Net Sales as of end March | March divided by Sept |
2006 | 298,817 | 966,534 | 3.23 |
2007 | 694,803 | 1,672,423 | 2.4 |
2008 | 836,879 | 1,838,622 | 2.19 |
2009 | 548,058 | 1,434,365 | 2.62 |
2010 | 363,160 | 1,014,345 | 2.79 |
2011 | 215,738 | 647,652 | 3 |
2012 Projected 800 Billion Yen Sept. - 200,000 Billion March - ???
Based on the above it's safe to bet that Nintendo will fall well short of their projected 800 Billion in Net Sales, especially given the 3DS & Wii U hardware misses. Better than expected Wii & DS Software, and slightly better Wii & DS hardware will not be enough to make up for them.
