When was the last time Nintendo actually meet their forecast? 3.3 million probably.

This time is more plausible. I mean, their last forecast said they would ship around 9 million Wii Us if I'm correct... it's just incredible that they believed that was possible, considering the low hype the console had, underwhelming launch titles for everybody and poor marketing.

This time however they got Mario Kart, Smash, titles already released, the Bayonetta promotion, Hyrule Warriors and the hype generated during the E3 of this year. Even if the PS4 and Xbox One are already around, I think they are going to achieve the quantity. It's not possible, it's more than obvious.

Yeah, and when they revised the forecast last year, they still missed it by 200k. Holidays are going to be a lot harder for the Wii U now. If they do make that forecast, I would not be surprised if they stuff the channels to do so.

To achieve the forecast it won't be hard. Like I say, Mario Kart and Smash are more than enough to push the console during holidays, enough to make those 3.6.
