Since the Japanese company is followed very little by analyst we have to go by consensus that Nintendo set out in January which is for a full year loss (ending in March) of 60 billion yen (738 million USD).  Given that Microsoft blamed its losses (in its EDD) due to a deteriorating gaming market and Sony seeing no benefit from a weaker yen in the quarter, I find it hard to believe that Nintendo was able to maintain its Q1 numbers, so I expect a bigger loss.

For future guidence, the one analyst I did see who follows the stock has losses for this quarter and for the Jul-Sep quarters, so depending on how Nintendo lays out its game release schedule will dictate future losses.
