I think (though I may be wrong) that some of you may be over-attributing these losses to development costs and sales - I am under the impression the that bulk of the losses is due to exchange rate issues, with the difference this time around (vs. the past) that sales were not good enough to offset the exchange rates losses.

I agree....

Which is worse for Nintendo.  The development costs oif the WiiU would be a one hit problem.  The Yen exchange rate problem isnt going away anytime soon.

Well the exchange rate problem is bad for all Japanese companies that sell a lot outside Japan, this explains though IMO why Nintendo may have seemed Japan focused lately (as in bothering to localize games such as Epic Mickey and Goldeneye in Japan while not localizing Xenoblade in the US).
