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

Yeah I expected that as well, I think they will do a lot better next quater, and its almost a guarentee that they will be profitble for the october-december range. Stuff Like XL and WII u is going to help because of their profitablity

We don't know the MRSP yet, so we can't know if it will be profitable or not.
