Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime toldForbes the exciting news about the future of the Wii U.

"The interesting thing there is, 4 million units is a milestone when you look at today's market that includes tablets and smartphones. The competition will hit a wall in production and demand just like we did when we launched the Wii U a year ago. So the truth is to be honest that we are ahead of the game and have the advantage." Fils-Aime said. "So, in the end, it's our responsibility to show consumers how much fun you can have, because in the end, this is an entertainment business, and we think we've got stellar entertainment to make the consumer smile."

I just skimmed through that article, couldn't find any mention of 4 million, or any part of that quote you provided. Please explain.

Only related link I could fine was this

But the link in the link provided is invalid so the mystery continues.

That is ... strange. OP where did you get that quote from?

Edit - Actually it looks like he's copy pasted one part of a para and made up the rest, it's not anywhere else to be found and isn't in that link at all, not even in the comments section ...

Fake article from gamespot. Ah. Also, Nintendo had shipment numbers at 3.91M as of September 30th 2013. Yea, they did not just ship 90k units in 2months. Can someone change the OP title until someone proves otherwise and finds the actual quote of that article.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

That should be a bannable offence, unless it's obviously meant to be fake.

Doesn't come across like a joke thread at all. Dunno what the OP's game is.
