This $187m operating loss leaves Nintendo $6m in the black when you combine both quarters.

So as it stands they have not made a loss overall this year.

With the hol season to come I think Nintendo will maintain their record of not making annual losses.

They made an annual loss last year did they not?

They'd have to be completely incompetent to make a loss this year, as the 3DS, Wii, and DS are all hardware lines that should be making them profit and Pokemon X/Y, with Wii U ... well if its bleeding that much money, stop manufacturing the damn thing for a few months since retailers aren't ordering it, so why have all that unncessary inventory?

Yeah they did, over $500m. It was their first annual loss. What I wrote wasn't quite what I meant. I used the word "maintain" when "recover" would have made more sense, making last years loss a blip in their record. If they do make a loss this year they really need to have a good look at the top of their organisation. Most companies would have fired Iwata by now.
