So as of tomorrow, for the last 6 months, Nintendo may have made a loss of $1.6B in just 6 months? This is on the scale of the PS3 and 360 early years ...

Wii U R&D and 3DS costs to top it off? :s

 

Also it's probably worth keeping in mind Nintendo made $2.45 billion in profit last year so this isn't really that bad considering all the factors. Poor economy, 2 new platforms one of which is currently sold at a loss the other won't see revenue until late 2012, lack of big softwarelaunches  for existing plaforms and weak US$/strong Yen) Xmas should be strong tho with 3DS software hitting (3D land and Kart) and Zelda: SS.

$2.45B? no they didn't, last FY they made less than $1B
