Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata feels confident his company will lay the smackdown on the competition for fiscal 2009-2010, projecting an upwards of 10 million in unit sales for Wii titles Wii Sports Resort, New Super Mario Bros Wii and Wii Fit Plus.
A realistic expectation? If it were anyone else we'd say no, but taking the sheer popularity of Mario coupled with a booming fitness genre, as evidenced by sales of the original Wii Sports, it seems very possible that each of these titles will hit the 10 million mark sometime in 2010.
Speaking in regards to the forecasted numbers, Iwata said, "We recognise this Q1 result is not the strongest and closer to the lower parameters of our expectations, but we expect we can reverse the situation through the full-fiscal year and therefore did not revise out forecast."
Nintendo clearly isn't letting the slow economy get in their way.
