Funny for Nintendo too. All the way to the bank with the millions they'll make off of this.

Except Nintendo have made an anual loss for the last three consecutive years... :p

This is not true. Nintendo made a profit in the last financial year 2012/2013 and the one before it.

You might be referring to quaterly results which the media is in a hurry to blow out of proportions in the current Nintendoom  media narrative.

The immediate past year 2013/2014 is the first year Nintendo is making a loss in a very long time and they expect to bounce back into profit on just 3.6m Wii U sales this fiscal year.

Oops sorry, i was wrong about 2012 but both the others were losses.

Year ended March 31, 2012: Net loss of 43,204 (million yen) - http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2012/120426e.pdf
Year Ended March 31, 2013: Net profit of 7,099 (million yen) - http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130424e.pdf
Year Ended March 31, 2014: Net loss of 23,222 (million yen) - http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2014/140507e.pdf


Yeah, yu're right but the media still tries too hard to make it seem Nintendo are in some financial trouble though. The life cycle of a new console these days tend to start with losses. Nintendo is not at risk of financial collapse anytime soon.
