From my other thread that got locked (will copy paste)

As title suggests, Q2 (April, May and June) show 249k in US and around 122k in Japan. Q3 is showing so far, 141k in US and 95k in Japan. (Current trends in both countries suggest WiiU will fall well below in the US, and pick up a little slack in Japan. Europe is more than likely on par with US, with sales dropping this Q.

Last Q Nintendo shipped 510k WiiU's, but this Q with VGC sales, we're expect 1.1m~ shipped. Why? This certainly goes against Nintendos own prediction of 3.6m for the fiscal year as well.


seece it s not obvious for you,that nintendo deliberately set a low forecast ,to exceed it?

When all they've ever done (for the last 7 years) is way over forecast? I believe they can hit around that 3.6m, but this is just people assuming because they don't seem to want to think Nintendo can only ship around 3.6m WiiU's.


If you did not notice that Wii U is selling about 100-200+% more than last year since MK8 launch also Nintendos forecast is most likely worst case scenario that they thought of as posibility plus you know things sometimes dont turn out the way you expect and plans change for better of worse. just because they said 3.6m does not mean that they will limit themself... -_-

You are sometimes narrow minded, just because they estimated it does not mean that it denies posibility of more positive outcome.
