However, that stock is dead stock though (it's old 3d/xl), since New 3ds/xl launch! If there wasn't that stock, wouldn't you expect higher shipments pro rata  with the above sales? They're not getting rid of it (at least not quickly) , people for obvious reasons prefere new 3ds/xl! Price of the old models is still relatively high ( small difference with the new models )  and unattractive for budget buyers...

They have to firesale the old models, that could imply money loss though, but manufacturing cost is  just 99$ and I guees extra fees are  insignificant for the old 3ds which is 5 years old and old 3ds xl which is 4 years old, right?

I guess that's possible.

 

What I find odd is how the regulr 3DS XL has shipped negative 0.01 million units @_@

Oh shit...  That means stores returning stock to NIntendo... ;) 

Have you see wii u stock in Japan? Almost, zero lol ! Strong holidays (thanks  to splatoon and Super mario maker), exceeding much Nintendo's expectations,  resulting in low stock, that Nintendo hasn't fixed and perhaps leaving Nintendo without manufactured wii u  inventory (Nintendo  likely sold in 2015, what they were projecting to sold in 2015-16 combined) ! They shipped about as much as wii u they sold in last quarter! They must be constraining the supply, ignoring the demand, fearing of wii u ending up with unsold stock!

Anyway, that forecast of wii u... Either they are ceasing the production ( Someone pointed out that kimissima said that they will keep producting it till 2018) or that they're overly pessimistic about its legs, from 3.2m to 800k, just because it's being replaced next year, that's not normal, they almost shipped 800k in FY15 Q2...

What kind of holidays sales they expect? I don't dare to think..

As  I have written in other thread, I wonder if they see higher demand  than that, will they move to meet it?
