Nintendo NX shipping 800k units by end of FY 2017

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I thought the 800K figure is refering to Wii U.

 

[MatthewB92]

800,000 units that sounds better lol.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

It says 800,000, not 80 million. That character after the 80 means 10,000. Referring to the Wii U forecast.

 

[Trago]

Huh, I can't find the 80 million figure in that one.

Same.

EDIT- Clarified

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Wii U and 3DS combined will be lucky to hit 80 million units. Good luck Nintendo.

Edit - Oh, 800,000. Nevermind.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Nintendo NX shipping 800k units by end of FY 2017

That's for Wii U (I misread it at first too)

 

[Bsigg12]

Nintendo NX shipping 800k units by end of FY 2017

Yep, so they expect 800k units by the end of March 2017 for the NX, which seems reasonable.

Edit- goddammit I can't read

 

[InspectorSpaceman]

I thought the 800K figure is refering to Wii U.

"Taking into consideration demand for the new NX hardware and overall demand forecasts, we plan to ship 800,000 units."

 

[Rubixcuba]

Nintendo NX shipping 800k units by end of FY 2017

This refers to the shipments of Wii U. The mention the NX as reason why they expect to ship 800k Wii U.

Need to read the paragraph in context.

 

[Mory Dunz]

What's this slide saying?

Google translate said 150 million sales, which isn't accurate.

edit nvm
1.5m

 

[Trago]

Much more reasonable expectations. They really don't wanna fuck up the launch year.

 

[Ansatz]

Edit: nvm the forecast is for Wii U

 

[hamauzu kaito]

What's this slide saying?

Google translate said 150 million sales, which isn't accurate.

Global sales exceeded 1.5 million

 

[InspectorSpaceman]

That's for Wii U (I misread it at first too)

Oops. Yep, totally misread. No NX forecast in the presentation then it appears.

 

[Bsigg12]

What's this slide saying?

Google translate said 150 million sales, which isn't accurate.

English version says 1.5 million copies sold between the 4 titles on the VC.

Polaris or 14nm would be the reason for the delay, not the other way around. Whatever the design is, its already set, they won't change to Polaris because of a delay but if Polaris or 14nm had been the design to begin with then that was hoping on a prayer to be ready for 2016 holiday because it would have needed to start production months ago... and 14nm isn't there just yet.

This is a very easy answer to why they can't/won't launch in holiday: they can't make enough consoles.

I've been wondering about that. Manufacturing delay is one of the only things that make much sense, and if they weren't using something "new" then a manufacturing delay probably wouldn't be an issue.

It could just be software, but I doubt that's the only reason. Nintendo has had teams done with Wii U/3DS software for years now.

When will the Q&A be up?

No sales figures for Twilight Princess HD WW.

You know Kimi, we really are the last of Us.

Edit - beaten.

 

[Sandfox]

The 13th Splatfest, held from April 23rd to the 24th in Japan, saw around 790,000 participants, a record number.
With a total sell-through of 1.49 million units in Japan at the time the 13th Splatfest was held, this means that more than half of the software owners participated in this event.

That's impressive.

 

[GustyGardens]

When will the Q&A be up?

In English? Not for a couple of days.

I don't believe the Q&A portion has started.

...well played

 

[EloquentM]

It usually takes days not weeks..
Edit: I still caught you before edit.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

That's impressive.

Amazing that the community is even stronger and larger a year after it released. I tell people who think it's too late to get into Splatoon and that the community is dead that it's actually just as alive and popular.

 

[GustyGardens]

It usually takes days not weeks..

Yeah, I realized that after I posted. I updated the original.

 

[Trago]

Wii U sell through is at over 12 million. The 'trending downward sales' for their home consoles is still a thing.

Lets hope NX changes that.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Have they confirmed pokemon in 2016 again? Its not in their games for 2016 slide.

Spoiler

HD games are hard work

I need sleep now, but I should be back soon. I'll see to updating the OP with links to transcript of Q&A if such has been published by then.

Thanks all.

The asterisk means The Legend of Zelda's version of 2016.

Spoiler

Had to.

 

[Oersted]

What's that asterisk on that picture?

Holiday 2016 in the U.S. and late 2016 in Europe

 

[Nanashrew]

Fire Emblem Fates did really well in the US. Nice! Also performing better than the JP release and with stronger momentum.

 

[NSESN]

What's that asterisk on that picture?

Maybe because it will be summer in the southern hemisphere
