Nintendo has announced some significant amendments to its worldwide sales forecasts for the fiscal year.
Let’s start with the 3DS. Despite being the best selling gaming platform in America this year, it’s ambitions projection of 18 million has been chopped to 13.5 million. Next up the Wii U. Originally projected for 9 millions, this has now been slashed to just 2.8 million.
The reason for these discrepancies? To be honest the official explanations raise an eyebrow. For 3DS, weaker than expected sales outside of Japan. The Wii U isn’t given a clear reason beyond weaker than expected sales, confusingly the unexpected price drop of the Wii U in America and Europe is brought up as a ground for both lower sales and profit estimates.
