Just a reminder, the 2013 E3 Mario Kart 8 Nintendo Direct trailer was pretty specific: it said April 2014 as the release date.

Edit: Forgot to mention that it was from the Nintendo Direct.

Why is that not the release date we have now then??

Because people are fools and like to fabricate things where there isn't any.  Nintendo has NOT revised or updated that release date at all, people are just "delaying" it all on their own.

This doesn't mean it won't be delayed, something Nintendo is famous for.  But April 2014 was the intended release date, which is, indeed, "Spring".

pwned.

NINTENDO HAS NOW SOLD 5.86 MILLION WII U UNITS WORLDWIDE

Nintendo has now sold 5.86 million Wii U units worldwide, 2.41 million of which came in the current financial year. The company has set itself a target of 2.8 million consoles before the year ending March, after previously expecting to move 9 million units. While that forecast appears attainable with only 339,000 systems remaining, it might be tight — Nintendo only sold 460,000 units in the six "normal" months leading up to Q3, which didn't have the guaranteed holiday sales boost. For comparison, Sony had sold 4.2 million PlayStation 4s and Microsoft 3 million Xbox Ones at the end of 2013 after both went on sale in November.

Sold to retailers. That is not the same as sold to consumer, christ. Everybody around here knows that, you won't find anyone agreeing with you.

MS sold 3m to consumers but shipped 3.9m.

Based on VGchartz numbers Wii U is at 5.6 million as of 18th January that means they have 6-8 weeks to sell 400k or 50-75k each week. While PS4 will sell +150k every week and be boosted by the Japanese launch.

Based on Nintendo expectations 6.25m will be shipped end of march, let alone end of February.
