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. http://www.gamnesia.com/news/nintendo-wants-to-redefine-entertainment-with-qol#.VFN0j4dakoM |
Iwata mentioned last year that they were looking into expanding their licensing business. I think we shall see the fruits of that venture soon.
