As I expected,you quoted me...I had wished that you wouldn't do it,provided that our past here is not rosy...Explain yourself,I based my comment on a analysis,you can't say that something will hit a low/conservative and reachable aim with luck,it's oxymoron,where do you base your sideswipe? I friendly suggest you, that you should have rationalized that,otherwise I may misunderstand you and consider your reply as plain provocation,forgive me in advance If I do an injustice to you,but our history might prejudices me a little bit... I don't see any reason for juxtaposition here,I'm clear!Aim of Nintendo,is 13m wii u by 31th of March 2016,it's very hard to jump to 15m at the end of it's life,when wii u averages 3.25m shipments per year and shipments are in a stable rate,e.t.c to say that needs luck to manage it?Am I irrational and I'm not justifying my aspect to deserve a vitriolic comment in disguise?And I called it like that for reasons which I aforementioned and because I feel insulted when someone reproves me for the same thing,that I censured another guy previously... Where's the irony?As I present the things and support my opinion I trow that I 'm allowed to say with ease"the expected and easy target'' The epithets don't fit?And If not?Then,why? |
The irony is in the simple fact that you're telling other people to realize when to use the right word when using the terms "easy target" and "locked" for a sales goal still about 5 million units away from where the Wii U currently is yourself. If the Wii U has shown us anything it is that no sales goal for its hardware is an easy target.
Simply take a look at how threads like this shifted their "easy targets" for the Wii U. What was it before launch? 50, 60 million? When it launched and started not doing well? 40 million, because Nintendos big franchises were yet to come? After holiday 2013? 30-35 million? Those numbers are assumptions because I'm not going to look for these threads now, but the simple point is that the Wii U has continued to miss all its "easy goals" up to this point. Last year we had a thread about the Wii U reaching 10 million in 2014 and guess what, that was taken as an easy goal by some people. This year we had a thread about the Wii U reaching 10 million by E3, which was again seen as an easy goal, that the Wii U, once again, missed.
So do I personally think it will hit 15 million? Yeah. Would I call it an easy goal? Hell no.
Also we've only had shipments of 1 quarter up to this point the year and those were down 40k YoY, while that's not a huge amount it is still way to early to say that shipments are stable.
