Do we know how many units Nontendo themselves is forecasting for the end of the fiscal year?

edit: should have read the thread. 9 million it seens


9m FOR the FY I believe, which they won't hit obviously.

How many do u think they will ship this FY? Im guessing 7m putting them to 10m total.

Well they shipped 160k last Q, this Q should be higher due to the upcoming holidays and expected bump in sales from Price cut, but July, August and the most part of September sales for WiiU have been very low, so I can't expect more than 300k (and that's pushing it).

They basically need to sell 7.5m during the holiday Quater. Which is no going to happen, my bet is they fall short by at least 3 mill.

This shows that Nintendo only shipped 80k Gamecubes from April 1-June 30 of 2003 but was still able to ship a total of 5.02m for the entire fiscal year. I think 6-7m shipped this fiscal year is possible, especially if they can get Mario Kart out by then.

"With sales sagging and millions of unsold consoles, Nintendo halted GameCube production for the first nine months of 2003 to reduce surplus units.[60] Sales rebounded slightly after a price drop to US$99.99 on September 24, 2003"


An actual significant price cut. But yeah I agree 6 - 7m for the FY is very doable, that's 9.5 - 10.5m end of March. Still higher than what I expect tho, I just don't expect holiday shipments above 4.5m I can't see this thing pushing 1m in Nov or Dec NPD and that's 50% of its WW sales.
