Either way the inventory thing,that will be interesting, we shall see |
They actually did not. What Iwata was referring to was that Wii U inventory for last fiscal year would be at a profit, but that was because they were only selling previously manufactured units that they were stuck with (inventory glut). Lots of people mistakenly thought that was the same thing as the Wii U hardware being profitable as in, when Nintendo makes a single Wii U today, they profit off it when its shipped ... that doesn't seem to be the case.
