Nintendo shipped 150k wiii units in Japan(470k worldwide),FY14 Q4 total shipments were 2.33m,FY15Q1 total shipments are 2.48m+,which means that there were 150k wii units shipped in Japan for the last quarter!
Why it was highly expected and self-evident? Because the overall sales of wii u were at 2.262m as of March 29th(MEDIA CREATE,JAPANESE SALES TRACKING FIRM),with the LTD shipments being at 2.33m Nintendo's earnings releases in investors relations site) meaning that there were 68k stock,wii u sales LTD as of June 29th were 2.42m,if we supposed(as I had done) that there were again 60k+ unints on the shelves(wii u stock is trending between 50-70k),do the maths,2.42m+60k=2.48+ 2.48(+)-2.33=150k(rounded)... Wii u shipments in Japan same quarter last year were 60k(510k worldwide)..
