Wii U = 6.68 million

3DS = 44.14 million


Shipped numbers of course right?

If so both Wii U and 3DS are overtracked LT


How??? WiiU is currently at 6.71mil July 19th. Maybe by about 30k-80k WW?

These numbers are as of June 30


Pretty solid tracking then, at most Chartz is off by only a few 100k



Mario Kart 500k digital?

Hell no. In US it was 132k (By July 5th) and about 30k for FW in japan. Numbers are Shipped :0



So that's 510k shipped with MK8 launch, sorry but that looks nowhere near a revival.

3DS seems definitely overtracked, 400k on shelves for a system that supposedly sells over 100k a week? That seems unlikely to me, last quarter we have the shipped/sold difference at a million I think. Wii Us shipped vs sold difference is also smaller than last quarter so that could be off a bit as well, but that isn't so clear, though I guess it's about 50k lower.

But an operating loss in MK quarter is worrying.

Have to agree with the bolded, Nintendo really need to find a way to get back to profitability. Easier said then done I know but realistically the fact they still posted a loss even with MK is certainly worrying.

 

If anyone can turn it around its probably Nintendo though, but honestly its going to take some big changes.

It is a revival cuz its not dead anymore :)

You should probably pay attention to the quarterly dates.

Q1 is not "Mario Kart Quarter" when the game didn't launch until the very last month of said Quarter.

Touche, that is the definition of revival indeed.
