So WiiU shipments 2014: 2.72 m VS 2015: 3.38 m. That´s around 25% UP
Also wiiu software 2014: 18.8m VS 2015: 24.44m. That´s around 30% UP

And overall it´s a profitable year despite the 3DS expected drop.

Only 25% up with MK8 and Smash in the same year. That's not too good.


You don't have to downplay it. You could let him win what battles he wants. He's trying to say something, so let him say it.

3DS Annual shipments in the last 3 years:

13.96m
12.24m
8.73m

Why would 3DS jump back up to 9.0m for next year (which is what they forecast)? What am I missing?

They can't forecast for shit.

Just saying. Weren't those 2 games the supposed saving graces last year?

You would say the same even if the console was 50% up, because there´s no way WiiU has good sales. But the console is growing and that´s good, plus, Nintendo games are selling a ton on WiiU.

No need to keep rubbing salt in the wounds, we all accepted this in 2014, no need for it to be discussed in 2015 :o

The only bad thing is that they missed their aims,nintendo has been really inaccurate with its forecasts...
All the others are great and it smashed analysts expectations...
What makes me wondering is how they posted that high profit while they missed their aims...41.8B yen operating profit,wow,analysts were expecting 25b yen revised from 20b yen...
It's outstanding when you compare it with the previous fiscal year when it had posted 46b yen operating loss,they reversed that completely!

41.8b is Net Income, not Operating Income.  Operating Income was 24.77b.  They had originally forecasted 40b a year ago, so there was an impact from the missed forecasts.

Nah, I wouldn't even have to make the comment if it was 50% up.

Edit: And I definitely wouldn't have to if it was 80% up.

Do you think a major drop is coming (if so how much)? I dont see 9mil, but i wouldn't be surprised if its 7mil+ (or closer to 8mil)
