I was just thinking about how many Wii U will be shipped this fiscal year and realized there is a strong chance it doesnt even match last years numbers.
Wii U launched in late Nov/early Dec in America/Europe/Japan and the fiscal year ends on Mar 31 so it was on the market for 4 months. In that time Nintendo shipped 3.45m units.
From Apr 1-Sept 30, Nintendo shipped an additional 460k units for a total of 3.91m. In order to pass last years shipments, they woukd need to ship an additional 3m from Oct 1-Mar 31.
We dont have numbers for the latest quarter yet but Vgchartz has Wii U sell through at 5.25m. Its safe to assume shipments are 5.5-6m. That leaves another .9-1.4m for Jan-March, is that possible?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
