This Year: Q1 Loss ~ $221m (78 Yen per $)
Last Year: Q1 Loss ~ 327m (78 Yen per $)
The forecast calls for 20b Yen lost in H1 of the current year, and they had a 17.23b Yen loss in Q1, so you can assume they intend to lose only $35m in the next quarter, it's not a terrible result given how much revenue has gone down. They've driven up profitability a ton and will be making more money over Oct-Dec than last year.
3DS sold over half of its units globally in Japan for the quarter - that is why they say "only".
Next quarter is the one to watch
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
