 Yes, but 90% of the time someone says Q1 or Q2 they aren't talking about the companies fiscal year. They are just talking about the year. Q1 = Jan-Mar etc...

if their production hasnt increased then theyre going to have to start stockpiling now for the brawl and kart releases



 

 

 

 

 

Check out my pyro tf2 vid :)

 

Bet With routsounmanman: By the end of Q1 2008 Capcom WONT have announced a RE5 Wii Edition OR a new RE (classic gameplay) for the Wii (WON)

I am probably wrong, but I thought they said that they would increase production again in April when their new fiscal year starts. But like I said, I could be wrong.

Expect January numbers to be exceedingly low. Remember what happened last year with the DS? The first half of January will go by with barely a single Wii being sold, as they would have been shipped in as quick as possible to get rid of them in December



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

I thought they were gonna set a new goal for monthly production at the end of this month?



I am a PC gamer, and also have a NDS now, but without access to a Nintendo Wii until End of 2007.

Currently playing: Super Smash Brothers Brawl(Wii), Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer(DS), Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime (DS), WiiFit(Wii)

Games Recently Beaten: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Normal; Very Hard after the next DLCs become available)

I think they will increase to 2.2m in Q2 2008.

NA will continue to be virtually sold out.
Europe will be adequately stocked with extras being sold very well in the largest nations.
Japan will continue to do well thanks to Wii Fit and nestle around 50-60k per week. However, it will keep a decent amount in stores.

The additional stock will be sent to Australia, which is currently not receiving anything. Then once the production levels are bumped we will see an emergence into China and other smaller markets.

By Summer you will begin to see supply meet demand, however, Nintendo will be producing 2.2m+ at that point, far more than any other home console ever, and will not stop to ensure a healthy supply load going into Holiday 2008.

Then we will see some seriously outrageous numbers. You thought DS sold well this year? Wait to see what Wii does next year.

One thing most people will not consider is your production doesn't have to meet demand January through October, it has to exceed demand by enough to build up enough supply for November and December. In most years in the videogame market 40% of the hardware sales are made in November and December, which means that you have to produce (approximately) 138% of your demand in January through October to have enough supply to meet demand year round.

^So Ninty has to go above 2.2 per month then in order to build up a substantial supply this year



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
