| Soundwave said: Nintendo has no established brand presence or background of marketing sway in the health/wellness market, I don't think they would bet on 20 million orders for that. Beyond that Digitimes knows their consoles pretty well, I don't think they'd get a game console confused for a sleep sensor or something similar. Even with the 3DS + Wii U, the first year 3DS shipment was just under 14 million in 12 months or so? Wii U was about 4-5 million in its first 12 months I think. So there you go -- that's about 20 million, so you can see why Nintendo might have settled on that number. |
The Health and Welness market is far bigger than the Games Market and 20 million orders is rather on the small side for that market. To put into perspective 20 million for the first in the game market it took the PS4 and the Wii over a year to achieve and those are consider adnormal. The sear size of the order points to this being in a different market and the only other thing we know about is the QoL platform.
