Wii U hardware no longer sold at loss, apparently

Well, one explanation I can provide is that the financial document is explaining the losses of the last 12 months, where the WiiU hardware did indeed have a negative impact on profit.
Whereas now they are at break even manufacturing costs or better.

The quote is linked in the OP. It wouldn't make sense to me for them to fudge this, considering they had already admitted hardware losses in the financial document just this morning.

The phrasing "still has" suggests that it is currently having a negative impact on profits.  Or at least was as of March 31st.

The link is just a summary of what I assume this guy heard at the investor meeting.  It isn't an actual quote.  They might have said the Wii U's sold in Japan after they work through their current inventory will be profitable.  Or some other more specific situation.

Yes it probably is something specific as that example. None of us will know without access to the meeting at the moment.
But, at least it bodes well for WiiU hardware surely no longer being a loss in the second half of the year.
