Thought? He still does lol

Oh, thanks. I knew snowdog was one of them and I was pretty sure it was him was talking with snowdog about it in the thread I am thinking of. I just don't remember what thread it was exactly to go look. No wonder he wont give me his expectations because if he thinks it will hit ten mil this year then it needs to start selling 400k a week. we know that it wont hit that in the next two weeks with VGC data so the week of price cut it needs to start selling 460k a week to hit 10mil. Talk about realistic.

I'm wondering if you are unaware of the software releasing nonstop starting october or if you are aware but thinks sales will drop even with the huge releases.

And? What do you think it will sell in th next few weeks.

I have no idea of the exact weekly numbers but saying sales will decrease with the incoming releases is beyond unrealistic.

I'm pretty sure you were also one of the people that thought the Wii U had a realistic shot of hitting 10mil sales by years end too. Why don't you state what you believe for the record so I can quote you later. You think that something like a price drop being front loaded is unrealistic? I know for sure that you are someone who loves pointing to the 3DS as evidence that the Wii U can reverse its fate. You do realize that the 3ds had an 18% drop after its sales right? Then an 11%. Then an 8%. Then a 9%. Then a 5%. Then a 7%. So yes, I think it's realistic to expect a drop after a price drop boost. I would say its unrealistic to think that the price drop will have a consistant WoW raise effect or flat effect.

you do realize the wii u, unlike 3ds, has big software releasing right after the pricecut, right? so how exactly do you expect sales to drop week after week after the pricecut?

what do you mean by thought (past form)? surely the wii u can hit 10M by years and, there's a probability that it won't but i think the higher chance is that it will.

I highly recommend that you don't "say what I think".

and this "it has to sell x starting now" talk doesn't get more credible regardless of how many times you repeat.

Yeah, just dance and scribblenauts huge system sellers those are. Almost as big as Lego City and W101. Want to talk unrealistic lets talk about your 10mil and you think it has a higher chance of hitting it than not. That means that in the last quarter nintendo needs to ship 7 or 8 million units. Tell me, what indication has the Wii U shown that would suggest to Nintendo, "Hey, we are going to have massive 4th quarter. We better ramp up production" and if there is some indication for nintendo tell me what indication retailers have that they will sell through that large of a shipment to order that many considering I'm sure some still have launch units

Assuming that you mean the fiscal year, and not the end of 2013, the system would almost have to sell each week from now until the end of March, on average, as it has for the last three months combined, on average.

That strikes me as...very unlikely. That would give even the Wii a run for its money...

He means years end. As in December 31st it will have 10mil sales to customers

Either way, the system would have to pretty much outsell the original Wii...which doesn't strike me as likely.
