It's at most 120k in Japan but more like 100k. It only sold 10k a week there for a few weeks and is going back down to 8k and I believe it was probably 6k earlier in the quarter until MK8.

According to Media Create it's around 132k if I'm doing my math right (I might have an extra week worth about 6k in there) and according to VGChartz it's around 128k.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

No I added up those weeks, it's 118k plus a few days. Starting with the week ending April 6 and ending June 29. Maybe I messed up there.

What are your predictions for Wii U's shipped through the end of last quarter according to Nintendo?

My Prediction is 6.6 million.

We have to remember that as of the end of the first quarter Nintendo reported 6.17 million Wii U's shipped. As far as how many were actually sold-through that's harder to say. I think maybe 5.7-5.8 million. How many do you think were actually sold-through as of March 31, 2014?


Eighty Bajillion



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Yep, I'm using at least one more week than you.

6.8-7.1M shipped by June 30th.

But well, they undershipped the MK8 bundle in some regions, so maybe closer to 6.8M.

6.8 million total shipped, based on ~630k for the quarter. 630k because assuming retailers were stocking Wii U quantities in proportion to its sales, then inventory would have been quite low at the end of Q1 (because sales were low), but the uptick in sales since MK8 will have led retailers to increase stock of Wii U, leading to a small surge in shipments above the sale numbers.

i go qith 230K. Anyone know whent they will announce the quartely results?

Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
