I never changed my stance on the Wii U having a bad quarter, it did, and will only benefit Nintendo on the revenue line, it will do nothing about profitability which is the original premise of this thread and my original comment.  And I still believe that heavy retail discounting will effect Nintendo's results in a negative way.  But ill wait two days for Nintendo to confirm my suspicions.

Well as everything get's heavily dicounted by retailers at the holidays, you expect all consumer-electronics-companies to post the worst results on the quarter Oct-Dec? Well, your logic is incredible. You don't even longer mention your former statement about the WiiU.

Well then, I don't expect very good results either, but your arguments are really funny.

Well most retailers have a two month window to sell merchandise at normal/seasonal prices and the real discounting happens between black friday and the weekend before christmas.  And not all products are discounted, look at apple.

For the purposes of Nintendo, an example would be the 3DS XL mario kart 7 bundle announce November 28th for Sales on December 3 to be discount by best buy on December 15th.  That, to me at least, is a move by NA Nintendo, not best buy as the 3DS and mario kart 7 was already selling decently.

And the Wii U was and still is a debacle, i dont know how to make it more clear than that. Again we will see in 2 days.
