Does anyone do math these number s are the end of March. Which what I see we are a week ahead of the fiscal year meaning subtract the 41,000 and shipped numbers are pretty close and pretty Damm good for a free site. Also if anyone has noticed WiiU last year around this time on Amazon wasn't even in their top one hundred but this year has been averaging #58, I say things are starting to pick up. Finally missing their goal my only 15 percent is a win in business standards, why because your business most likely is in the black

 

Do we have to have this every time.

One is reporting shipped from factories (nintendo), one is reporting sold to consumers (vgc)

How can you sell exactly the same or more than you have made.  You have to take into account in transit, in stores and in warehouses.


Ever heard of rounding up for visuals/graphs? Go look at the exact number and post it instead trying to skew your opinion to be right

Isn't this the financial results thread for the past year? Why not discuss it now?


Oh so using the "FY" to your advantage huh? That said my point still stands. We accepted it back in Nov/Dec, my point exactly.


No not really. 

Not sure what you mean by "to your advantage". If there's any time to re-discuss the effect those games had on the sales of the Wii U, its now.

Yokai Watch hits the west like a atom bomb. If it happens it could be something huge.

Maybe but right now I'm seeing literally no games from now until whenever Fire Emblem IF hits, and I doubt that game will sell many systems.

Does the forecast for FY15 about the wii u suggests that nintendo won't do a price drop?I think,it does...


Sadly I think so. If there were any plans for a slim model or losing the gamepad they would be mentioned as to why they expected higher sales for Wii U. I'm betting that Nintendo will ride it out, remain profitable, and hold on until they release NX.

Oh and for the people discussing how many units are on store shelfs, take a look at Japan, according to MC/Famitsu the Wii U is at 2.255m/2.27m as of April 5th, compared to that Nintendo has shipped 2.33m to Japan, so they have between 60-75k stock in Japan at the end of March (the 5 days in April shouldn't make a significant difference because Wii U sales are so low over there). You can take that as a starting point for your discussion.


And if you compaire Wii U sales to US ? 

If we take the base sales of Japan & 60k stock.

US should have 216k stock, EU should have 100k stock.

(if we just assume equal amount of stock to sales ratios, useing last weeks HW sales as indicators of sales ratios)

 

US + EU + Japan =  around 376k  Wii U's in shops sitting on shelfs ect.

 

Im going to stand by my first assumption of Wii U being around 400k overtracked.

Updated OP with correct expectations for 2015/16 shipmemts.

3DS: 3.4m
WiiU: 7.6m

seems reasonable.

But the OP is correct

Wii-U has been overtracked constantly here so no surprise there, looks like 10 million is quite far away now. Also Gamecube shipped 630k in the same quarter, so Wii-U is falling even further behind.

Terrible performance really.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Who ever is without a sin first cast the stone...

Everyone has made  mistakes frome every fanbase,do we need pointing out them every time or be selective to what we choose to rake up?
