i don't know what people were thinking saying that it was nearly impossible (which to be fair, I can't source, and compared to the amount of people who said "it's possible but unlikely", it was rarely said). Like if the device shipped 16.5 million in it's first year, it doesn't seem that strange to ship 20m in it's second ... |
Yeah, Nintendo actually beat their initial predictions last fiscal year. By over a million units if I'm remembering correctly. If they do hit 20M shipped, this thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=237141 has some pretty good ones to invite to the buffet of crow. lol
But yeah, 20M shipped didn't seem farfetched to me even then, we all knew they'd have a backloaded Fiscal Year and because they were posting okay sales for the first half, people made solid conclusions off of that info alone. Maybe they'll learn their lesson this time.
