You are going to make me post links, aren't you.  You'd think by now that people understood that I know what I'm talking about.

Plus many others.   I don't care what gamers were expecting in terms of sales.  I'm talking abotu what Nintendo, investors and analysts expected. And to that extent, they did exactly what they set out to do.  Break records and still have stock on the shelves.  And you want to call that poor results?


Won't sell out and half of the stock left are two different things. 

Are you just being argumentative of the facts for the sake of arguing?  Are you intentionally trying not to listen to the facts?  Are you just so filled with Nintendo hatede that you won't believe the reality?

Guess what happens if the sell through rate is above 50%.  That means some locations would likely have sell outs.  The higher up that percentage you go, the higher the percentage of stores that had sell outs.   Did I not just get finished explaining to you that they didn't want sell outs?  They didn't overestimate demand, they intentionally prevented sell outs to ensure adequate stock for all consumers and to prevent gray market price gouging.  Why is this such a difficult concept for you to grasp?

Considering Nintendo let the Wii sell out for nearly 3 years straight, I don't believe they care about low stock ect ..

Actually, they didn't allow it on purpose.  Foxconn ran at peak capacity of 2.5 million consoles per month production for quite some time.  Componenet vendors were also at peak production on many critical components.  You cannot produce more product than the lowest volume provided by your componeent vendors. 

They care very much for low stock.  Every sell out is a missed sale.  Every $500 console sold on eBay is lost potential revenue.   Put yourself in the place of an investor and as a product sales manager.  Would you care about low stocks then?  By golly you most certainly would.

It's actually pretty funny how seriously you are taking this, it's just a company shipping more than was needed so it can be shown in their quater numbers. It's business. I expect major shipment for Sony too on the PS3 to meet their shipping goals. 

Moreover retailers ordered way more because of bogus pre order numbers. Frankly, I expected the biggest launch ever for either consoles or handheld ( at least we agree now, handhelds and consoles are different). It was a good launch though, nothing spectacular, that's all we are saying.

I've actually already posted this exact same thread in the Nintendo forums... between this being a dupe thread and people not listening to facts to create some dumb debate that doesn't need to go any further I'm just going to lock this up
