| the_dengle said: 8.5 million in the next 6 months is nuts. 6 million though, that's manageable. Not sure why you guys are so insistent that Iwata is on drugs (or should be) because of that number. Wii U sales are close behind the 360 for the past few weeks, and unlike the 360, the Wii U has several major exclusives coming in the next 6 months. 6 mil through the next two quarters isn't exactly a sure thing, but it's realistic. 8.5 mil... that's very optimistic. Probably too optimistic. It doesn't mean Iwata should be committed, though. |
Yeah, and the imminent launch of the PS4 and the One probably won't have any effect on the Wii U either, right? There is no way the Wii U will sell anywhere near 6 million units more by March 2014. Hell, it could take it a year from now to manage that. My year end prediction is probably spot on, only a year too early. My predictions were pretty damn pessimistic but will still be off by millions for 2013.
The thing simply isn't moving and Iwata could end up looking foolish, especially with these losses on hardware and overall poor fiscal result they're bound to see again.
