As usual we have people who are being completely negative just because its nintendo. Always looking on the bad side and not realizing the positives that are coming.


Don't mind them. Their negativity is quite obvious!!!

Like in the song: don't worry, be happy ;)

At least WiiU is up for the year by a pretty decent amount. The forecast will be tricky to reach, expected it to be easier. They made good money, even though 3DS is down a lot. N3DS will salvage the situation somewhat and hopefully next year will be up again. Software is good, can't complain about almost 10m Pokemon and Smash sales or almost 5m Mario Kart sales. Not reading anything about amiibo though.

Now here's a comparison that's actually worth looking at. Think you could do the same for Wii U/GCN please?


Well since you said please.

Nintendo's financial year is 1st of April to 31st March

Gamecube launch 14th September 2001

Wii U launch 18th November 2012

 

launch and 1st full year shipments

GC - 9.56 million over 564 days

Wii U - 6.17 million over 499 days

 

2nd year

GC - 5.02 million full year

Wii U - 3.03 million over 9 months

 

Well over 774 days the Wii U has shipped 9.2 million while in 499 days the GC shipped 9.56 million.

Thanks, much appreciated. 

The 2nd years are closer than I expected. Did GCN peak that year or the third? I seem to remember GCN having a very good year in 2003 (better than XBox possibly?) and it dropped off quite badly after.

Those 2.5ish years above add up to 14.58m so it only sold an additional 7m or so from then on. Maybe Wii U has a chance of beating GCN in the 3rd year, I doubt it, but maybe.

GC in 2003 have sold much better than XB, Even in The USA.

6.3m ww and 3.4m in USA.

Yeah I had a feeling the 3DS was overtracked, and now my suspicion is confirmed.

Wii U sales forecast for this year are level, maybe they're being conservative, or maybe they don't intend to cut the price this year?

Even though WiiU is tracking behind GC in HW it looks as if several titles will outsell their GC predecessors (Mario Kart, Smash, and maybe Pikmin)



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Whoa, ORAS! I'm very surprised. Good numbers.

I'm not sure how u came to that conclusion.

Well everything more or less expected I guess.
Atleast they are making profit...
