"Nintendo's target was to sell 9 million Wii U units by the end of the 2014 financial year(Editor's note: Nintendo's fiscal year ends in March 2014); a target which it now seems very unlikely to meet, seeing as lifetime sales of the console currently sit at 3.91 million units. Despite this, it's opted not to modify the target."

No IGN, do your research SMH, 9m for the FY ending in March. Not 9m LTD by end of 2014 ...


Is it true Iwata still refuses to revise that 9m estimate?


I don't see why he would, they revised their first fiscal forecast easily enough. Nintendo are usually quite moderate with their projections, perhaps Iwata simply wants to keep investors's faith for the holiday season? Who knows. Not that they'll love him when he misses that target grossly either.

I mean, he basically expects to sell ~6 million Wii Us by March.It seems pretty delusional.


It is pretty weird, he stands the risk of losing all credibility with both consumers and investors, not to mention the press, which holds a lot of power over the two previously mentioned instances.
