No sales forecast for the Switch huh?
We're going into the new frontier.

I was correct in hearing Nikkei, they're basically only up on operating cost because of the excess profit taken from the Mariners sale. Next Quarter's gonna be carried solely through Pokémon, NES/Famicom Mini, and the Switch.
The Switch is forecasted into their predicted results they just aren't in a sharing mood on actual numbers

Project Giant Robot is alive
Nintendo is doomed.
I'm sure investors will go ballistic on them for the Q&A session, don't worry.
(>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) (>'-')> Kirby Robobot 1 million seller baby.
Pokemon GO effect to WW increase 3DS number by 19% this year
It also increase the number of Pokemon software sales except in Japan
Amiibo is declining to 3.8 million for figure type and 1.7 million for card type thanks to the lack of software using Amiibo
Wii U also dropping both on hardware and software front as there is not big titles compared to last year.
Yen getting stronger also create quite a loss for Ninty as many of their revenue comes from outside of Japan.
Switch still March 2017
NES Classic November 2016
Super Mario Run December 2016
Umm...... what other games that Ninty actually released this year though?O_O

Sure but no shipment forecast at this point is worrying isnt it?
Hopefully.
Its not about them being doomed, its about them withholding important information.
"So why should we care about another console when mobile has done so well????"
That should do it. I hope.

Wait, I thought there will be no briefing tomorrow, isn't it?
You're a fool if you expected anything else.

A Financial briefing is likely happening, but not a Corporate management briefing.

Oh, ok. Thanks.
Hyrule Warrior Legends, Star Fox Zero, Federation Force, TMS#FE in the west I think (Or was that before that? I am a bit foggy on that one)

Didn't say anything about games though.
Time for everyone to get their hopes up!
Don't expect anything until January
Whilst I am glad Kirby did well, I'm honestly surprised the new Fire Emblem underperformed. Obviously it was never going to be the same hit Awakening was but even so I was expecting it to do well.
Welp... bring on the leaks!!!
None of these games had any chance of selling one million units.

Are you new to this lol?
Poke X and Y is now 15.64 million, ORAS is now 13.18 mil
Mario Kart 7 almost 14 million
Luigi Mansion
M hit that 5 million.O_OOn Wii U
Mario Kart 8= 8 mil
Splatoon still selling 4.5 million
Smash Bros 3DS+Wii U now reach= 13 million
Not bad at all.^_^

Most of Fire Emblem Fates's sales came from the west and happened around February, so it's less likely for them to continue into the million territory into this quarter.

I'm trying to remember the last time Nintendo announced hardware launch plans and pricing more than two months before release. This isn't new for them.
The fact that we probably won't receive any Switch info before 2017 sucks though.

Good to see that MK8 didn't become the worst selling Mario Kart game like Polygon's article projected it to. http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/15/5718168/mario-kart-series-sales

I'm pretty sure all their systems were announced and detailed more than 2 months before release.
Except for Hyrule Warrior Legends, i can't see any of those title even reach 700k number lol.
Yup. The only thing we can wait for FE:Fates is how the legs is going to be. And how much is the total sales and revenue from the DLC/Story branches.

It's like you didn't even read what I posted.

Splitting the game in two probably didn't do it many favors. Not to mention it didnt have the same push behind it Awakening did or bring such a transitional shift it did either. Awakening felt fresh and new. Fates, despite its many improvements, felt more of the same sadly.

Yup. We also had games announced alongside with their system. Switch is an exception. Gotta save that huge holiday season :")
On the other hand, the Mario Kart IP has seen a bigger growth since these games. Not only accounting the fact that MK8 on Wii U is basically a game you have to own as a Wii U owner, considering the lacking library.

"On Switch: Nintendo CEO says company won't make loss by selling it; but also listening to what consumers expect from us when setting price."
Personally I see $300 thrown a lot around here. I wonder if Nintendo will listen.

I'm pretty sure the game will end with more units sold than Awakening, if it's not already done.

Or you didn't read my post and completely skipped the "detailed" word in there. Just saying.

I guess that's part of what this whole 2 month silence is on, judging consumer reaction and expectation.
