The main reason investors are upset even though the net income (profit) is pretty decent is because operating profit was only half of what Nintendo forecast.
That means the bulk of Nintendo's profits are coming from things like positive currency fluctuations, but not their game business itself.
Which ties back to the 3DS falling several million short of its targets. So when people say "well it doesn't matter if the 3DS declines" ... yes it does.
Also Wii U is apparently still something that earns Nintendo a loss, the reason they avoided that this past fiscal year is because all/most of the Wii Us sold in this fiscal year (to Decmeber at least) were manufactured/unsold inventory from the previous fiscal year -- meaning all losses on those units were reported on the previous year.
