Forums - Sales - Iwata explains conservative 3.6 M Wii U sales projection

"....“Mario Kart 8” and “Super Smash Bros. for Wii U,” the pillars of our entire marketing strategy for this year."

I'm trying to remember an old saying, but it just isn't coming to me. Something about eggs and baskets......This is gonna bother me all day.

Don't sell eggs, better sell baskets?



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Maybe, but I think it also referenced a dragon at some point.

Don't sell dragon eggs, better sell unicorns baskets.

Ah, now I remember!

"Don't put all your dragon eggs in one unicorn basket. Because they'll explode."

You should paste the whole explanation, not just the first paragraph, It makes much more sense.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

my thought exactly. What he said was just common knowledge about every forecast ever made

So basically, if something new is to be released this year it won't be anything big. Only MK8 and SSB.
I'm dissapointed. Droughts are big and my Wii U claims for games.

You'll play indie games and you'll like it.


If I wanted a machine to play only indies and complain about droughts I have asked for a Vita.

He's playing safe. 3,6 is what Iwata thinks MK8 and Smash alone will sell
