They still have plenty in the bank to survive many more years at this pace.
Back on topic... i wish i knew what they are losing money on. Their software sales are good, the 3DS is not sold at a loss. The Wii U might be. So is this an effect of the price cut? Ala PS3? If so, then its a temporary situation and things should improve with time. I know they built a new Headquarters aswell. Dunno where that is factored in. |
Inventory is probably killing them. When they make a Wii U, they still have to pay the component suppliers whether or not they sell the system or not.
When you're not selling as many systems as you hoped, they pile up in the warehouse and that tab is on you until you can sell them.
It's the same with the 3DS, they probably were anticipating higher sales and likely ordered more units than they were able to sell and now are stuck with them.
