Exactly... 23/75 billion yen is nearly 31%, or one third of the swing! That's a LARGE portion, and is why I was so quick to contemplate whether the massive swing is just "low Wii U sales"... It didn't make sense! Before I found that article, I believed a good portion HAD to be marketing and development, for which you jumped down my throat for, lol |
I think its a mix of low Wii U sales, Wonderful 101 being a massive flop, 3DS falling a little bit short of expectations, weaker then expected yen, and increased development costs (hopefully due to Nintendo ramping up the Wii U game development). The way they had a separate Nintendo Direct for W101 and a demo, and constantly pushing it on the eshop, leads be to believe that they thought it would be close to a million seller for them, and it only sold 140k. That alone would be 48 million in lost expected revenue.
