I thought the wider picture was Nintendo forecasting to ship 26 millions units this fiscal year and less than 2 weeks ago some of you were even saying Nintendo could announce up to 28 millions units for 2009-2010.... Heck like one week ago you told us you expected that Punch Out and those EA games would bring sales back to last year level by end of May and now I think you're just suggesting they will stabilize wii sales. There's a huge difference between stabilizing sales are the current level and have them go back to last year level ( like a 50% difference..). |
And Nintendo probably already knew these numbers from their internal tracking, so it won't come as a surprise to them. Actually Iwata mentioned he expected Wii to be down the first few months of the fiscal year compared to last year. I guess he knows what they have in store for the rest of the year as well and currently feels they will be able to ship 26 million Wii units regardless of the slower start.
