Pixart Sales for Nintendo Wii U to Reach 20% of Total

Digitimes expects Pixart to report Q3 results meeting its guidance for a 40-50% on-quarter growth, fueled by Nintendo's Wii U console sensors.

Shipments of sensors for Wii U are expected to reach NT$200 million (US$6.8 million) or 20% of Pixart's total sales in the third quarter, according to Digitimes' sources. The Wii's shipments are likely to peak in October and then begin slowing down due to fierce competition in the gaming sector and a lack of new attractive software delivered by the Wii U, the sources commented.
