Nintendo Japan has declardo this Wednesday September 27, 2010 cut its sales forecast for its DS handheld to 23.5 million units by March 2011 from 30 million units previously.

The company said the revised figure includes 4 million units of the 3DS version, which will be released in Japan on February 26 and the United States in March.

So Wii down 500k, and DS down 6.5 million

Wii is not surprising, considering how it's selling right now and what they have coming up.

DS... I'm guessing that the 30 Million included 3DS shipments too. So a majority of that drop I think can be put towards 3DS.

Other than that. Big numbers...

Wow big drops!

This isn't too great but perhaps 3DS can start to make up for this!

But still in the end numbers are big!

ouch!

but 3DS will easily make up for this

So Nintendo hopes to ship 87.5M and about 151M DS by March 2011?

Could you let me know their shipments for each of the last 4 Q's please

Oh I was counting from March 2010,  Wii - 67M and DS - 125M ( December 2009) Al thought I think they can ship 84M Wii's end of this year :/

I would think Wii would be cut a LOTTT more. It's not selling well at all, anywhere. I dont get how the heck they expect to sell 17.5 million.

Yet again, another Nintendo thread thats going to go completely unnoticed on this forum despite the massive Nintendo demographic. Hopefully it doesnt, because it seems to be the only times The Source and ioi ever comment...

So LTD for March 2011 arnt 87.5?

Edit - 84.5 mill they expect?
