I hope he[Pachter] realizes that when Iwata speaks about 1.1 billion, he is speaking in Yen which is only $11million USD. Nintendo might post that overall for the last FY even.

Knowing Pachter, he doesn't realize that at all.

Watch the video.  He does know this.

Pachter just can't be counted on for reasonable analysis of Nintendo. His Sony and MS analyst isn't much better, but his Nintendo analyst is just plain bad.


I'm not saying he did good or bad.  Time will tell, but we sure can't.    All I'm saying is watch the video because he did state the yen.

I know he did, that's why I said he just can't be relied on for Nintendo analysis. Saying that he doesn't think Nintendo will make 11 million dollars is just plain foolish.

Well  right now it is just people's opinions.  Nintendo has some things going for it like Pokemon and maybe Mario Kart U and Mario 3D this holiday if they come out.  They also have the 3DS which should help them out.  However the WiiU is causing them problems right now and not just because hardware is not selling that well.  The big 3 relies on software to sell to make money and right now 3rd parties are not buying into it.  This leaves Nintendo in a sticky situation where they have to do the work themselves while the casuals have seemingly abandoned them right now.  It could go either way.  Nintendo will see a big boost during the holidays and with Pokemon X/Y but it is hard to say that alone can give them 1.1 billion dollars.  I hope they can but I can't say that is a100% certainty.  

My honest opinion is it really depends on how well the WiiU does this holiday and how much Pokemon X/Y sells.
 and if Mario Kart U with Mario 3D comes this year.  Have to wait til E3

Don't forget about Animal Crossing: New Leaf this June, that game will sale off the chain in the west, and Hardware sales will go up with it.
And the Wii U has Pikmin 3 & Game and Wario & Wii fit U & Wii U Party by no later then June.
