660k Wii's vs 2.07M 360's and Wii is overtracked? Unless I'm missing something isn't a console with under 1M units on shelves usually undertracked?

I didn't checked the numbers on shelves for PS3 and Wii but for 360 this time of the year the avg. is 1.7m.

Wii is Overtracked because it sold less than VGc has it, the Nintendo numbers show that and if they only intend to Ship 1m Wiis this Quarter then its absolutely overtracked by a milion or so.

Xbox 360, i dont know if its under or not but >2M on shelves seems too much but i´ll wait for next quarter shipments.

Okay... but which numbers are giving you this conclusion? All I see are shipped numbers and a leftover amount that seems more than reasonable to be sitting in retail.

EDIT: see what you mean now, sorry, I agree it might be slighty overtracked



Those Wii and DS expectations look ok, 96M for wii at least and close to 152M DS, those 3DS look a bit too high, maybe 1.8M, can top 20M During Q3.

you have it the wrong way around.

 

Haha, you are so right. Damn I feel dumb, thanks for pointing it out though, sorry for the added confusion.

Look for "Presentation by the President (Text)"... Nintendo update this info more or less one week after released the IR.

New Nintendo is a company ran by egomaniacs who develop the games they want to make instead of the games the market wants to buy.

hmm.. if that is their philosophy now, then I like New Nintendo better

It would be nice to know for sure there are some developers who aren't prostituting themselves for even more money.

 

Besides, the market doesn't know what they want until you show them. I thought the Wii and the DS proved it, hell, Apple proves it until know and look where they are.

You aren't alone. The internet is full of people who belong to this minority. Because, you know, if they were the majority, it would actually work for Nintendo.

Super Mario 3d Land and Mario Kart 7 are exactly what the market asks for. And the sales prove it notcing that the only quarter they profited was the 4th, which these two games were in.



Didnt expect that.

2 Million drop? Wow...
