Is that what you meant?

Another great read John! If only we got this kinda info from ign or GI. The mass media has a army. Wii have a John Lucas ;D

John Lucas, that was incredible! Deserves definitely Pure Platinum :P

So the best selling console of all time, the PS2, got a 100-200 euro price cut already after roughly 10 months in Europe? LOL the struggling Wii U also got not until 10 months a price cut, but only of 50 euros! ^^

Well, I think it's will be roughly the same level of Q1 this year. Maybe a bit higher because of the new Bundle and price cut already in the Americas. Could be 500k shipped, thus 4.11 m lifetime by the end of September. (Wii U)

By the way: Dawn of the second day. (Less than) 48 hours remaining....;)

The PS2 had a terrible first year^

It's amazing what you find out when you look for facts, isn't it?
Perhaps the PS2 had to fight off the PS1 before it got on its own two feet, hmm?

Nintendo won't have that problem with Wii U.
They killed Wii to make sure that didn't happen.
As Wii U awakens in the fall, Nintendo announces the end of Wii production in Japan.
It was a heartbreaking decision no doubt but Wii lives on through Wii U.
The Revolution continues...

John Lucas

As does the old dragon Hiroshi Yamauchi. His spirit is alive within Iwata.

Yes indeed.
Iwata may be a kinder gentler Nintendo President but he has learned much from Yamauchi-san.
Now Hiroshi Yamauchi gets to guide Nintendo from the world of spirits as Iwata holds it down for him on Earth.

Iwata will not let Nintendo down. He will continue the legacy Yamauchi set forth.
Nintendo is in very capable hands.
John Lucas

Everyone who used to run Nintendo is literally gone.

35-37 million 3DS

so what happens in 48 hours?

Thanks, so you're expecting 2.52m - 4.52m 3DS and 890k - 1.89m WiiU.

You're expecting a lot of stock on shelves.
