NSMB passed 30 million mark.

The 3DS got to about 13.8 million this past fiscal year.

That's with New Super Mario Bros. 2, Luigi's Mansion 2, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus Uprising, Mario Tennis, Animal Crossing in Japan being a *monster*, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil Revelations, DQVII in Japan, a new hardware revision, $169.99 for the base model, etc. etc.

I think 9 million for the Wii U is pretty damn optimistic. Even with Mario Kart U and Mario 3D, I think they would struggle to get there.

But Nintendo generally starts on the high end with estimates (most companies do) and then will revise down as the year goes on.

I mean if they wait until the holiday seasons..with the current levels of sales the system won't be making a big dent on that estimation. And during holiday season chances are it will be competing against ps360 with both having a price cut + Two New consoles in the  market. I think it's too optimistic unless they have something planned before that happens to create some momentum I think they are in a tough spot. 

But THEY know what's coming more than us obviously lol so they might have some big surprises for us soon

I umm not sure what to think of this. Could be good for Gamers if he is more proactive in bringing games over...but take even more responsibility when he is having trouble with various things now. Time will tell

It would seem to me more like he is taking over the position as an interim basis. It will be interesting to see if this yields anything different though.
