So you saying supplery better known than Nintendo itself!?

When you have bad gen ever you will probably miss lotsa predictions.


They shouldn't. But for me 20M is still a high call.

The problem isn't they were severely wrong in their prediction... they have missed them all for like 2-3 years even if after every failure they made smaller and smaller ones.

And most of people on the site were sure they would miss, but guys like you defended they know better and were being conservative, that Nintendo would easily surpass their predictions.

Most guys dont relise that NX will probably will lauuch with handheld and home consoles not just with home console, and that 3DS and Wii U combine had around 18m of sales in their first year.

Like I already said, if 3DS and Wii U manage to make 18m totally new platform of home and handheld could make similar numbers.

3DS and WiiU didn't release at the same time and could them sell to a good overlapping community. I agree they could make 18 or even 20M, nothing is impossible, but 20M I think is unlikely, I would believe more on a 15M. An that is because you only need one of those to play the same game on the fusion Idea. And if they release 200hh and 300 console their chance of hitting 20M first year is very dim.

But no problem, you can set your expectations very high and them we see how close they come.

I think that around 20m is definitely possible, if they reach that, we will see.

Because this website accurately leaks this sort of information about consumer electronics in this exact manner literally every year, and are right far more often then they are wrong.


Like that time they said the PS4 would release in early 2012 and sell 20m within the year + come with a Kinect add on- 

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110704PD202.html

Or the time they expected the PS4 to ship 16 million in 2013 (It actually shipped 4.5m which was a record for any console).

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130304PD221.html

 

Digitimes research and news in regards to Mobile, telecommunications and computing are very reliable. Their data and research in regards to dedicated gaming devices is usually inaccurate and relies on rumour and speculation over hard facts. 


This post deserves to be quoted in order to be read from people who probably missed it!

Thank you zhuge for shedding some light...

And some people were presenting me digitimes as a reliable source and I was wondering if I  should accept that or be skeptic about it!

Also, a video gaming market expert in an article about that  rumor in my country, pointed out that whatever digitimes claims about dedicated gaming devices, it hardly ever gets verified...

Best yet is the demographic they use of on the survey that is skewed in place that are X1 favorable

Of Course Digitimes can be wrong but in most cases they dont wrong. Also Digitime already similar report about NX in summer, so 6 months later they have similar report base on fresh infos, so I am pretty sure that at least same things from this report are true.

No Ducking Way,

Any release in 2016 of NX would be absolute panic mode release and no fracking way is it getting released sooner than Nov-Dec unless Nintendo is absolutely _out of their mind_.

No, panic mode would be release in 2015.

No, panic mode would be release in 2015.


A release in 2015 would be absolutely outragous.  A slap in the face to anyone who owned a Wii U and pretty much unprecidented in the console indistry.  The only console release that really comes close is XBOX to X360 and that was a newcomer Microsoft still trying to gain a foothold in the market.  Nintendo is _the_ veteran in the market. 

A late 2016 release, while not unprecidented, would be panic mode close to what Sega did with the Dreamcast.  And guess what, Sega failed.  Until proven otherwise I do not see anything before Nov-Dec 2016 and even then that is a serious bold move by Nintendo that borders on crazy.

Either way I am seriously glad I did not waste my money on a Wii U.
