| Zekkyou said: If i remember correctly, Nintendo were selling WiiU's at 100% profit this quarter due to over shipping in a previous one. It was also the 3DS that made up the majority of their hardware and software sales, not the WiiU. Would be interesting to know what sort of profits the WiiU itself is usually generating. I don't expect it's much :/ On a side note, do we know how much of Nintendo's profits were from non-gaming related stuff? |
"...covering the period between July and September.
A number of interesting figures were revealed in the accompanying report, including the news that 610,000 Wii U consoles were sold during that period, almost double what was managed during the same timeframe 12 months prior."
"The 3DS, meanwhile, saw sales fall year-on-year from 2.49 million to 1.27 million despite the hugely successful launch of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS."
I've always been curious myself as to how much Nintendo brings in through merchandise although it's probably not what's keeping the company profitable.
They are working on new segments beyond gaming, even though their upcoming "quality of life" devices/apps will be compatible with existing Nintendo devices.
