Not great, but not too bad either. They at least made some money, and they've got what should be their most profitable quarter now, so yeah could end up as a profit for Nintendo this year.

I disagree.  All of sudden its great if they manage to scrap a meagre net profit?  (operating income is still bad)

The hardware sales are relatively terrible, profits (if any) are tiny and the sales of the 3ds are falling fast.  Its fairly bleak imo.


$223 million for a July-September quarter isn't actually all that bad. It's pretty damn good actually even though a big chunk of it is because of a favorable yen. 

that woudlnt be that bad no... but thats not what it was.  It was 215m yen for the 3 month period, or $2m.

"The company said its net profit soared as a result of exchange gains totalling 15.5bn yen."
From the very same article.
215m yen - is operating profit for 3 months. Net income/profit is much higher due to the yen exchange rate.
