Nintendo made a small profit this year after 4 years of operating losses  (about $1billion+ combined)  - They made a profit this year due to cutting cost over the last 4 years not due to increases in revenue-  their annual revenue have dropped over the last 4 years  along with expenes-   So they don t beleive in the wiiu or they would have increased their investmetn in it (via games marketing etc)  but they have done the opposit-  The Wii U is not making money - no one  at Nintendo has indicated they are to date-     It will be difficult for them to make a profit this year - either way it would be a small one if they do-and their revenues will probably fall again -   

The fact they have not been investing much in their future makes me very curious/concerned as to what they have in mind re next generation-    

$350m profit isn't small, also were you find 4 years of losses?

-2012. first loss ever for Nintendo - 43,204 million yen

-2013. profit - 7,099 million yen

-2014. second loss - 23,222 million yen

-2015. profit - 41,843 million yen (around $350m)

They made a profit this year due to cutting cost, but also changing business and operating models, and now they making much bigger profit with similar revenue. I can't see why they can't do same thing for next 2 years. For current year they aiming similar profit like in 2014., around $300m.

Why do you think they not investing in their future!? Last year or two they keep talking about new staffs, services, new console, new business models..

4 years of OPERATING losses-  the money they made the 2 years yo pointed out were do to favorable yen/dollar exhange rates but the actual operating entity lost money-

They will probably stay close to small losses and or small profits the next 2 years-  i doubt they will have big profit or loss the next 2 years

the reason i say they have not been investing much is due to their operating budget continuing to be lower every year-  they can invest outside their operaating budget and i don t know the varius accounting rules for the Nikkie exchange but Nintenod as a compnay has shrunk tremendously over the last 4 to 5 years and is still smaller than it was even during th egame cube years aomong others

What they do for the next genertion is critical for them to start growing revenue and market share again-  (profits too)
