As a Wii U owner since 2012, 2013 was for a fact the worst year.

Yes they can, Nintendo managed to make $300m profit in 2014. With same bussines model like in 2014. they can easily make similar profit in 2015. and 2016. evan with worse console sale than in 2014. (now they have Amiibo and they will have smartphone games).

I too belive that NX is 2017. thing, worst thing that Nintendo can do is to rush new console and make similar Wii U mistakes. Except that, Nintendo never revealed and launch console in same year.

The Wii U should have been named the "Mirage"- the games have been "coming soon" ever since 4-5 months post launch- but some how when the times arrives that the "games" are supposed to arrive its always less than.

Nintendo has done a job on stringing everyone along as it relates to the games- but they have been investing less and less in the Wii U at the same time- the "games" will continue to trickle in for a while longer (probably a year+/- longer) then stop- very disappointing as a wii u owner since launch. Unless you love plat formers, there has been little depth and diversity of choice re the Wii U library (not to say there are not some excellent game- there are but not many spread out over multiple genres )

Nintendo made a small profit this year after 4 years of operating losses  (about $1billion+ combined)  - They made a profit this year due to cutting cost over the last 4 years not due to increases in revenue-  their annual revenue have dropped over the last 4 years  along with expenes-   So they don t beleive in the wiiu or they would have increased their investmetn in it (via games marketing etc)  but they have done the opposit-  The Wii U is not making money - no one  at Nintendo has indicated they are to date-     It will be difficult for them to make a profit this year - either way it would be a small one if they do-and their revenues will probably fall again -   

The fact they have not been investing much in their future makes me very curious/concerned as to what they have in mind re next generation-    

$350m profit isn't small, also were you find 4 years of losses?

-2012. first loss ever for Nintendo - 43,204 million yen

-2013. profit - 7,099 million yen

-2014. second loss - 23,222 million yen

-2015. profit - 41,843 million yen (around $350m)

They made a profit this year due to cutting cost, but also changing business and operating models, and now they making much bigger profit with similar revenue. I can't see why they can't do same thing for next 2 years. For current year they aiming similar profit like in 2014., around $300m.

Why do you think they not investing in their future!? Last year or two they keep talking about new staffs, services, new console, new business models..

I remember hearing Nintendo say they would have a game released every month and I just assumed they meant both Wii U and 3DS BUT they actually came close on the Wii U.

In PAL the line up was like this.

Jan-Captain Toad
Feb-?
March-Mario Party 10
April-Kirby (well technically early May, must have been delayed a bit)
May-Splatoon
June-Yoshi

You can add Art Academy to June for Europe, it's coming out the same day as Yoshi as a budget release, £24.99. 

Presumably Giant Robot is going to come later than June, and therefore isn't a first half release, which is what Nintendo's most recent financials stated. The release of Art Academy though, does make it six first party titles in the first half of the year. Plus adding Wii and N64 to Virtual Console, DLC for Smash, Kart & Hyrule Warriors, plus eShop releases. As I've said elsewhere, given the circumstances, Nintendo are pushing a decent amount of content on Wii U.

Is that it? I hope theres alot more shown at e3

Do indie games count?

Oh Art Academy comes out soon? And yeah I heard that Project Robo might be out soonish as well.

So there has been almost 1 game per month from Nintendo, but I guess since many of them arent really big titles they are overlooked. Splatoon is the biggest and Yoshi might have some depth to it.
