I doubt the WiiU's been that profitable with such low sales lately. And that trend will continue for a while, at this rate--I don't expect Lego City, Pikmin, or Bayonetta to have a huge, lasting impact on hardware sales. The heavy hitters may well make up the difference come Christmas time, though. |
Generally, they use a cost per unit. I believe Nintendo transfers funds from the US to the parent company at the end of the fiscal year, too, so if they've sold say... 2.5million units of Wii U in US and Europe, they could be seeing an extra 18+% revenue from those sales March 31st. But I was talking about going forward. What's happening now isn't too important as long as what happens later is good. And if the yen drops to 100 per dollar, Nintnedo should be making money per unit, even with a price cut. If you look back to Nintendo's profit-making glory days between 2006 and 2010, the dollar was often above 100 yen. This made for major cash per every Wii and DS sold.
