Regional YoY Q4 shipments
Japan .87m > .55m (-37%)
Americas 1.92m > 1.34m (-30%)
Europe .62m > .87m (+40%)
Others .71m > 0.30m (-58%)
Total 4.11m > 3.07m (-25%)
surprisingly Europe is up YoY, to save the quarter from being a complete fail compared with the year before. I suppose Nintendo found the markets to fill stock up to the brim in order to meet their twice revised down shipment forecast.
Again I find Nintendo's forecast as optimistic, but if they don't release any info about their next console it can be possible.
But again though, they just had a FY with hardware being down -22% and now they forecast another FY to be only -16.5%. What do they have planned?
