Again, it's shipped to retailers that count. Nintendo most likely shipped over 2.75 million units to retailers in Q3. In comparison, Wii did 3.08, that's very healthy. Q4 should be between 1.25-1.75, but you are right, they won't hit their target. Nonetheless, if profitability is ensured, trust me investors will be more than happy. Nonetheless, before earnings the stock should go up as investors seem optimistic as shown by the 5% jump today. |
I wonder if Nintendo can pull a shipping trick, where they get retailers to buy U's in advance in exchange for something, to hit 5.5.
That way Nintendo can spin the crap out of it, can claim victory, and use it to generate a huge amount of buzz alongside major game announcements.
Shareholders would be very happy about that.
