Nintendo Investors Thread

Damn, just saw the Jan 5 Wii U number posted here on vgchartz...134k. Lower than Nintendo needed to hit projections.

I thought if they did 170k / week on average which seemed reasonable through March they'd hit 5mill at retail, and come close to the 5.5m shipped.

But yeah, 134k the week after Christmas isn't a good sign or showing. Looks like Ninty will for sure miss the 5.5 m goal. If they avg. 134k from now until March that puts the U at 4,460,000 retail, and probably just shy of 5m shipped. But now even that looks optimistic.

Don't see any catalyst to boost U sales before then.

495k 3DS last week is actually pretty solid. Ninty now stands at 11.5m on their 17.5 projection for 3DS units. As with the U I'd say they need to sell about 16.5 at retail to report 17.5 shipped. That's only an average of 357.1k/week to hit 3DS hardware.

So this week's numbers have made me more pessimistic on Wii U projections, but more optimistic on 3DS.

As for the software projections for them...still pessimistic on 24m & 70m respectively.
