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.

Oh, no, that I expect to be a complete bloodbath. They only sold a tenth of of the Wii's software numbers last week; Twilight Princess sold more in retail than the ENTIRE library. I'll be really surprised if they hit even these reduced numbers at this rate.
