Ubisoft thinks Nintendo will produce 5 million Wii U systems in first 6 months

One of the hot topics surrounding the launches of Wii and 3DS was related to the amount of stock available. With the Wii in particular, finding a system in stores was incredibly difficult for the first few months.

Will that happen with the Wii U? It’s anybody’s guess. Keeping that in mind, there could be a significant amount of units available in the console’s first six months if new comments from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot can be relied on.

Guillemot believes Nintendo will produce five million units during the Wii U’s first six months on the market.

He noted:

“Generally, that’s what (Nintendo) does. The number can be more, it can be less… they are always limited in the number that they can build.”
