The drop in earnings also shows one key ingredient for Nintendo's success: SW sales. Since the 3DS wasn't able to pick up the DS' legacy from a SW PoV in FY 2011, expect FY 2012's resurgence of 3DS SW sales to address the lackings for the next fiscal year. Added to profitability on 3DS HW, and increase in HW sales, Nintendo is looking fine.
