Haha PS3 easily broke even or profited a little overal, and it will sell 90m+. Vita made a profit as well even if won't reach even half of the PSP (Or 1/4th).
However the Wii U is possibly the worst selling (Real) console of all time to be released by a major player in the industry.
Anyways I don't get why you keep bringing up other consoles while we are talking about the Wii U.... *Looks at Samus name and picture** Oh I get it, yeah no bias on your side /s

Not easy, and the console was not released to "broke even". It was the successor of the PS2. PS3 is a big fat failure for Sony that took a lot of time and investment to make it look a little better.
Wii U is the worst selling homeconsole ever and a real failure that made (alongside the 3DS) Nintendo operate in red numbers.
That's why they need NX as soon as possible.

Actualy they first loose was is 2011 fiscal year, year and half before Wii U was launch, also Nintendo made solid profit in 2014. fiscal year and in first quarter of this year.
3/2011 means the financial year ended March 2011.

Net income really isn't the best metric to look at, you want to look at operating profit because that shows what the core business is doing. Net income can be radically altered by things like currency flucuations. I.E.: You could lose money from your actual game business but turn up a profit due to things like a favorable curreny exchange or laying off X amount as an example.

Still kind of shows financially they don't HAVE to do anything. They could easily wait till 2017.
