Ryng_Tolu said: My Wii U prediction was 480k. Very close. :D I was waaaaay off with 3DS, i thought in 800k, but good to see is over 1M mar! |
I was exact!:P FUCK,I waas going to make a thread yesterday but it was late and I was drowzy(And afraid of a specific member here,who reprimands who ever make assumptions about sales),for 3ds it wasa guess,although I was wanting a little more(1.1-1.2),I'm happy because 1m was the lowest I was expectinng and it's 200k+ same quarter last year,so NEW3DS has still an effect...As for wii u it was easy to estimate the worldwide shimpment by Japenese shipments/sales comparisons,Japan contributed a lot to shipments!:P
Hmmm Mario kart 8 as expected,332k shipments for the quarter,expected because it has become a trend recently,I mean they had again shipped the same amount in the previous quarter...Imagine bro,Mario kart 8 will probably be at 6.5m-7m by the end of the year(that's 1 year and six months,holy shit),wow,unless it slows down...

Well last year in same time we had Mario Kart bundle, so down YoY was expected, I personaly expected much biger down YoY but looks like Splatoon moved some consoles too.

to be fair, Wii U was easy to predict, 450 to 500 k was The most likely prediction. :P
For The 3DS i'm honestly shocked... Hope will be Over 1 Million even next quarter!!!!!!!!!!

It is, just interesting. Sony should see similar exchange rate gains I guess. |
I was checking this around two years ago. It seems that exchange rates which benefits Nintendo profits makes a problem to Sony profits.
At Nintendo's overall profit is usually higher then operating profit. At Sonys - overall profit is usually lower then operating profit. I read an explanation that a lot of nintendo costs are still in Japan, so current exchange rates benefits it. And Sony was 'smart' 10-15 years ago and get its costs out of Japan. Which in current sitiuation of exchange rates makes it worse to them.
That is a very simple explanation and was made around 1.5-2 years ago. But it seems current trend is still something like this.
A profit is a profit, even if the shipments are underwhelming
