You can't tell me they're not looking at a list of sales every now and then to see how well the DS / WII is doing. You don't need charts like VGcharts, NPD for that to be informed when being such a major company. I find it weird that Nintendo would use fiscal numbers only then instead of recent sales numbers. Like by the end of the year you're still telling that the WII sold less then 6 million worldwide while the counter might be twice as much. Okay I'm overreacting but just to give an example ;) And why is Sony Playstation telling just right the opposite? |
Have you ever worked at a major corporation? Sales numbers are highly confidential information that are only released at the end of a quarter to the public, even most of the employees inside the corporation don't know that information. I know I certainly don't know the sales of the product I work on until the news release goes out at the end of the quarter. There's huge risks of insider trading with that kind of information....
