Actually not at all for Nintendo. Because even in their worst hour, they never stopped giving numbers. So if you crunch in the numbers for all of the 3ds hardware and software and take them out of the equation plus the other stuff ninty spent money on, you can tell how much of it the Wii U was eating up. And have you seen the charts of Sony when PS3 was selling Vs now? And the same for Ninty with Wii U. Ninty was always close to 0 with little losses while Sony's gap was huge. Ninty are just better at managing their business when their consoles fail than Sony are, which is why we're lucky they are so good at marketing their consoles. Otherwise PS and possibly Sony would die out. If you want to actually dig deep, it is not only possible but also probable that you can prove or disprove my hypothesis.

When PS3 costed (lost) 200 per console, selling 80+M will be a much bigger loss than the 15M sold by WiiU.

Still, people will have a lot of good games and follow through to PS4 because of it, while WiiU wants to be forgotten.

The PS3 Slim costs production was about $ 240 and the company was selling for 299. Sony lost money until release PS3 slim, after this every console sold was a surplus. PS3 sold 1 billion software and left a great legacy for PS4. When Sony released the PS3 slim the numbers at the time was only about 24 million units. But theres no denie that the console was Sony biggest mistake.
