Forums - Nintendo - Analyst lowers WiiU shipment forecast to 4.3m

Seece said:
This sounds fake.


It's not fake because it's just an expectation/forecaast/prediction from this guy. He's not passing anything as facts.

However, he's mistaken something, He thought Nintendo said 9 Million Total LT sales by the end of March 2014. In that he's wrong, Nintendo said 9 million JUST for the fiscal year 2013/14 (In other words from April 1st 2013 to March 31st 2014). Nintendo would need to sell 12.45 Million units in TOTAL by the end of March 2014 for that to happen. Impossible.

Iwata got himself into deep trouble. He said 100 billion yen OPERATING PROFIT ALONE by the end of the FY, so far counting Q1 + Q2 there's more than 28 billion yen of Operating losses.
He said 9 million sold during the FY, so far with Q1 + Q2, sales are just 460k, 8.54Million away.
He also gave an impossible software number.

He may be going down soon. It's either him, the Wii U or their business direction. But one thing is for usre: There will be a drastic change somewhere at Nintendo.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

He is probably closer to the end number than both forecasts from Nintendo.
