Wii U Apparently Still Being Sold At A Loss

That was a mistranslation, David Gibson's live tweets from Nintendo press events are horribly translated when done on the fly. 

The proof is also in Nintendo's own fiscal numbers. 

Q3 generated 31 billion in operating profit for them alone. 

Yet they themselves are only forecasting 20 billion operating profit for the full fiscal year, indicating that in Q4 they expect to lose (a lot) of money again. 

That indicates they have to start producing Wii U units again. Unless the New 3DS is unprofitable, which would be an insane move to release a redesign that is actually loses you money. 

I don't understand anything that you said lol.

That's the problem though, people aren't getting what's actually happening and just going off a mistranslated comment that Iwata never actually said. 

It means basically there shouldn't be anything dragging down Nintendo's profit that they already made through 3 quarters of this fiscal year. Yet Nintendo is expecting something to drag down their profits, that seems to point to Wii U hardware production resuming again in the 4th quarter.
