Oh how the mighty have fallen. I guess these things go in cycles.

I think it's too early to be calling them fallen ;) the 3DS got profitable this summer, and the 3DS XL launched just a few months ago - and WiiU production should have kicked in, everything leading to the loss. Q3 might be profitable, as should Q4.

Edit: Haha I spoke too soon! Apparently WiiU will be sold at a loss, so they might not at all be profitable Q4 :P

I expect they'll get back on their feet soon, hence the reason why I said these things go in cycles. Ninty'll get back on their bike soon enough. Anyway even with the loss on the hardware, selling the $350 bundle and their pack in games plus 3DS stuff ought to get them in the black strongly. I think the most popular bundle will be the $350 one as it seems the no brainer choice for early adopter/big fans plus it has a lot more than just a game and more HDD space as it comes with some nifty accessories.

Only problem is, that it never goes in cycles for Ninty :P they're ALWAYS profitable ^^ but, yeah, I agree with you: they should be alright :)
