Well we can agree the 3DS is a profit powerhouse for Nintendo. |
Well the 3DS is what originally pushed Nintendo into making losses. Also the attach rate after 11 quarters is quite a bit lower than the DS. The DS attach rate was about 32% higher which resulted in overall software sales being 78% higher (a difference of 96 million units).
It has also missed every one of their hardware forecasts so far, and looks set to miss again this fiscal year. In all likelihood the 3DS is making profit for Nintendo currently, but to call it a profit powerhouse would be a misnomer.
