Ouch.

Hopefully we'll get more specifics later, and maybe the full-year results will surprise, but it's looking pretty rough.

Yeah you're kind of right. The fact that Iwata even has to say things like "Wii U isn't over yet" speaks to how much of a disaster it's been. You think Microsoft or Sony CEOs will be saying things like that two years after their systems have been on the market? No chance.

The big thing for me is Amiibos. I didn't expect them to do much, but a surprising number of people, Nintendo seemingly among them, seemed to believe they'd be a big thing. As it stands, they're basically right where they were last year.
