Nintendo reported a loss for the quarter but is predicting profit for the year. They blame exchange rates for the shortfall, but the problem is that the Yen is still strong against the dollar and euro and with nothing coming out this quarter (July to September)hardware or software wise and with sales declines for the DS to continue as people wait for 3DS, I predict they will report another loss.
Sony and Microsoft reported losses for their respective game divisions also, but their game divisions include sutff like Microsoft's failed Kin phone, Sony Vaio laptops, Sony e-readers etc so it can be skewed, while nintendo is pure gaming, so their barometer is more of a reflection of whats going on.
I don't believe Nintendo has reported back to back losing quarters, I think this will be a first.
