Actually Nintendo is now making profit, last year they have $350m profit (they expecting similar profit for this year too), software is selling very well, but yes hardware sales of 3DS and Wii U are dropping and they need new hardware in 2016/2017.

Wii U hardware sales were up 20 percent from last year for the first quarter of the year, and 3DS sales were up 80 percent:

You probably referring to Nintendo NPD statement, true is that 20% YOY for combined Wii U and 3DS hardware, and we know that we have launch of New 3DS so Wii U alone numbers are down. Last June Wii U was sold 140k in US, this 70k.

I accidently copy and pasted the wrong link, lol. But yeah, I was referring to that. I wasn't aware June NPD numbers have been made available.
