Nintendo won't post 1B$ at Q4. It will be a good quarter if they post a profit.

The Wii/DS times were the printing money machines. Nintendo had insane benefits at their peak, with a record 2.5billons benefits in one year.

Nothing can topple a Wii being sold at comfortable profit and games like MKWii, NSMB and Wii Fit being sold at 25-35 millions copies.

Didnt they make a profit last quarter? $200mil i think it was around. That was with Hyrule Warriors at the very end, SSB 3ds (note 3.2mil ship figure does count for last quarter), and With MK8 doing ok. 

I think (if that $200mil profit is accurate) they definetly can post a good amount. msybe $600mil? maybe more? I dunno :-/

Nintendo lost money (around 100m I believe) in the first quarter.  The key thing for Nintendo will be the sales of 3DS and Wii U this christmas. Too much units sleeping in the warehouses and the profits will go down sharply.

But with Amiibos, Smash and Pokemon, there is a chance that software and hardware sales will rise. I can see Wii U beating its 3.6 millions forecast if Smash does the magic.
