Sad thing is that even if Mario Kart gives Wii U the 100% boost fans think it will it still wouldn't help. But I very much doubt that it would even do that because the majority of the Wii U's sales comes from the holidays. There's hardly ANY reason for a Wii U to be bought any other time throughout the year.

Erm, there's a pretty big reason comming up in less than 3 weeks!


Which is why I said "hardly" didn't say no reason. 


Shouldn't have put so much emphasis on ANY then!

It shipped 1.95m in 3 months following a price cut last holiday... And that was too much stock. But hey, youll see how wrong you are in a month then ill bump this thread

So 2 million for all of December and November? That's makes things even worse from what I said!



How is that worse? It means 8.1 million without may through october 1.9 million is all it would need and i think people are underestimating mario kart 8 and the hype of smash bros all over at best buy

10.8 million reported shipped end of fiscal year. Sticking to my guns. A huge upturn from last year but nothing drastic. That's probably 9.9 shipped end of 2014. Exceeding the forecast by a million, if Nintendo actually ships the consoles to sell and doesn't just try to barely meet quota for some reason. Especially if price is cut in Oct/Nov, which they may not do.

Shipped.


Last 2 years Nintendo shipped 360k in 4th quarter. Sure predict a YoY increase but 150%? No.

Mistake. I intended a less than 100% increase but I accidentally myself used Q4 sold instead of Q4 shipped to do so.
Shipping max 600K Q4, FY shipments down to 10.4 million. I mean things could be variant Q4 based on overshipping Q3 or if shipped stock actually mostly sells through this time.  I think they can likely sell through their forecast for sure and will be pressed to ship more.

I think 10.4 is optimistic (of course) but realistically probable at this point should releases go well.



Around 8-8.5 million by the end of the year. No more than that.



In the prediction thread back in January I said 9.8m sold!
Doesn't look so likely anymore.



Not even Nintendo is expecting that. We'll see.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
