We don't know for sure, although I think I remember Iwata stating (a good month ago) that he expects to sell the 3DS at a profit in the following fiscal year which suggests that at least for the current fiscal quarter they are still taking a hit. I also think that they were projecting a loss for this period as well, although the depreciation of the yen might transform it into a slim gain. Nevertheless, Nintendo's profitability shouldn't be dependent on outside factors.

Have you got any type of proof that nintendo is lossing money on the 3DS??, as i couldnt imagine them costing all that much to make??.

Of course. The boss himself said so.

Wow i never imagined that they really cost that much to make O_o, i wonder how much are they losing on each system?, if its not that much id imagine they would make it back with software?.

They are not losing much, since they priced the 3DS so high at launch and were making a huge profit at that price. They may have even started to break even now, and will be making a profit off it very soon.
