My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

i think 4 mil i spossible but not in april

John Lucas lays awake at night... the ghostly form of Yamauchi-San appears before him whispering "4.1, 4.1".



Around the Network

4m monthly production is possible by April 2009, but that's TAME compared to what johnlucas' ACTUAL prediction is.

Four million one hundred thousand of Wiis produced worldwide per month from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009, Nintendo's 2009 fiscal year.

Four point one million per month is the number.


He predicts an AVERAGE of 4.1m/mo. from April 2008 to April 2009. Not 4.1m/mo production BY then, 4.1m/mo AVERAGE production up to then.

Keep in mind guys that it doesn't have to be 4.1m from April for JL to be right, but to average out to 4.1m/month over the course of the fiscal year.

However, that'd mean Nintendo would be making around 5-6m per month by the end of fiscal if they just bump it up to 2.5m initially.

I doubt anyone will find that a likelier scenario though...



 

Oh, I get it now. You need Nintendo to produce 4.1 million units per month. Right now the Wii is at 21.5, and by the end of march they should be at 23 mil, and you want them to produce another 37 mil this year (4.1*9=36.9 mil), so that you can reach your outlandish prediction. So your prediction is based off of nothing beside what you want it to be, no kind of indication that Nintendo would, or even could do that. Okay then, carry on.



2.5 million... no more. That is what they produce of the DS, I really doupt they would put production levels above that.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

I almost feel special to be quoted by JL.

But it doesn't change how I stand on the topic.
