Its nice for Nintendo to get a little bit of silver lining this year. I don't think Iwata's been on top of his job at all the last few years, but he doesn't deserve to get completely broad sided like this.

Still I think overall it won't be a very cheery Christmas at Nintendo HQ.

Wii U sales still look fairly abysmal in the West, and that's where like 80% of their console business has come from and I think Nintendo is quietly disappointed with the 3DS too.

Not to extent that it's a failure or anything like that, but I think there were really hoping for explosive 3DS sales this holiday with large year over year increases across the board, as one would expecting from "peaking" system, but it doesn't look like they're going to get it.

Pokemon X/Y has sold great though, that's the one unequivacle success for them this year.
