LOL those hardware numbers fucked me up until I remembered it's SHIPPED numbers. XD

But damn. Almost half a billion in profit despite the Wii U's sharp drop off? That prompted a 20% cut in HW projections and 30% in software? Damn, 3DS, you scary!

The sharp drop off mostly came after the quarter ended.  They also managed to get retailers to take a crazy amount of Wii U software which likely helped to significantly offset the losses on Wii U hardware.  With no major releases in Q4 and millions of pieces of software left on shelves after Q3, expect their SW shipments in Q4 to be dire.

DS: Japan 0.00m; Americas 1.13-1.14m; Others 0.03m.

So, the DS is basically dead outside of the Americas.  Looks like most of the overtracking came from Europe.  It doesn't seem that the DS will have the same kind of tail that the PS2 has had in developing markets.  The PS2 will likely retain its title.
