Nintendo has retracted a statement made by company president Reggie Fils-Aime, who said that Nintendo would be shipping one million units to the United States by the end of the year. It’s not uncommon for company executives to misfire on their estimates of units which will be shipped within the launch window, both Sony and Microsoft were wrong with their shipment estimates when the PS3 and Xbox 360 launched. Nintendo announced last month that 600,000 consoles were sold in North America, and that another 4 million would be shipped worldwide in 2006.
