Despite slashing its profit forecast by 70 per cent due to a lack of interest in the Nintendo 3DS in the West, Nintendo predicts that it will sell 5.5 million Wii U consoles by the end of March. The Wii U goes on sale in North America on November 18th and is due to arrive in Europe on November 30th. Japan won’t get the Wii U until December 8th.
