I think 5.5m for launch to March31 is definitely too low.

Wii was 6m in same time frame (Nintendo only was able to ship 5.7m) but could of sold at least 12m had they produced that many.

WiiU is definitely going to be a hot item. Seeing what happened to Wii and the game lineup they were planning, Nintendo should of shot for at least 8m in that time frame. 6m in 2012 for holiday/launch and 2m for Q1 2013.

Got any hot tips for the sharemarket?

lol yeah I was just reading my October post... wow did the preorder hype set me up for failure.

For the record, in early December I made the tracking thread (see sig) and in there I said they might not make their goals and then right after xmas I said definitely not and they'll like reduce it to 4m (which we know they just did).

Had preorders not been jacked up by scalpers, I would never of made that claim.
