Weren't basically all Wii U sold at 100% profit this quarter because they wrote off the production costs (a loss) for these shipping units last quarter?

IIRC, yes. All WiiUs they have in warehouses (what, like ten million on contract for the tablet/screens?) have been written into Q1, so they've actually managed to overcome all of that in H1 with better spending and management on funds, it seems.

This is also probably why Nintendo can't make a tablet-less SKU ... they'd be stuck with a ton of unsold Wii U controllers that aren't exactly cheap.
