4th quarter was negative last year, so it doesn't seem to unlikely that it will be this year as well.

Did they make a writeoff for something in order to boost the following fiscal year?

I don't know. It would be kinda weird to do a writedown of assets with the specific goal to make the corresponding quarter look better next year though. But Sony's gaming division is only forecast to make 5 Billion Yen in operating income in the next quarter, while last year in that quarter they had a 6.something Billion Yen loss, so it wouldn't be surprising if Nintendo took a loss/very low profit in the same period.
