Iwata on 3DS hardware and software shipment figures/Miyamoto’s hobbies/Miyamoto’s DSiWare app…

“First, about the Nintendo 3DS software, you asked what the basis for our unit shipment forecast is. Please note that this forecast is Nintendo’s shipment number, so not all the 4 million hardware units and the 15 million software units are expected to reach consumers’ hands. Now that we are launching a new hardware device, for which people’s anticipation is fortunately high, and in terms of the current circumstance where a number of software developers with strong will to make the software for it are wanting to launch their software on or close to the launch date of Nintendo 3DS, we think that the company will be able to make that size of software shipment from Nintendo. In addition, since the retailers also have high expectations for this new hardware, we are expecting them to offer sufficient shelf space to showcase and sell a certain good amount of the software from the beginning. These are the reasons as to how we have come up with that software shipment figure.

I understand that your question was based upon a concern that the 3.75 tie ratio (software sales per hardware unit) will be too much for a period of just about one month from the hardware’s launch, but please understand that there is certainly a small time gap between when Nintendo ships Nintendo 3DS software to the retailers or to the third-party publishers and when this software is actually sold at the retailers, and, by taking into consideration the high expectations for this product before the launch, we have concluded that we would be able to make that shipment figure (sell-in). I hope you will understand this point.


The quotes below come from Satoru Iwata, who provided the following information at a recent investor Q&A…

“We have not announced the prices of Nintendo 3DS in the overseas markets, but when you look at the suggested retail price of Nintendo 3DS in Japan, you can see that there are some price differences with that of Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi in Japan. How the market can change with such price differences shall become important.

We have experienced several transitions from one platform to a new generation in the past, but the speed at which such transitions were made greatly varied in different markets. Perhaps, the quickest of all the nations in this regard is Japan. In terms of speed, the U.K. is outstanding in Europe. On the contrary, Germany is very slow in this transition. In the U.S., so many people respond to new platforms quickly, but as for the entire video game market there, it appears to move rather slowly because there are also so many people who respond to new offers very slowly. The U.S. is a big market with such dual natures. Given the difference in the speeds at which each market shifts to a new platform, how Nintendo should spend what amount of energy in order to launch and market many new Nintendo DS software titles must be slightly different from market to market.
