Nintendo Says Factory Fire Won’t Cause Wii U Shortages

Nintendo has said that it won’t revise its Wii U shipping forecast despite the fire that broke out at an unnamed Wii U system assembly factory in Japan. David Gibson from the Australian bank Macquarie in Tokyo, said his company has downgraded Wii U’s shipping forecast by around one million units. Here’s Nintendo’s response to the situation.

 “As of now, we see no impacts on our Wii U console production scheme”.

  1. Well if the shipment was delayed, but still before christmas, I wouldn’t be upset. My pre-order is suppose to go under the tree. I say suppose cause I seriously don’t know if I can wrap it without playing on it, to test it of course. Got to test it before the kids get it! Right?

    1. I think in the rest of the article says that they fell short of 1 million units and the have like 7.3 million for the launch, everyone who pre-ordered should definitely get theirs, I think some retailers might get less to sell off the shelf.

    2. Yes you need to make sure it works. If you don’t and it doesn’t work on Christmas Day the kids will be very sad. So I really do suggest you try it out. :D

  3. A shortage of 1 million might put a dent in systems allotted for consumers that didn’t preorder. But if you did preorder, you should be fine. But if I don’t receive my preorder on time, I am blowing SOMETHING up.
