Poor hardware sales in the game business always leave you at the mercy of things like currency swings. It is what it is.

Been a nightmare of a generation for Nintendo, a tsunami and nuclear meltdown literally greeted the 3DS launch, both Mr. Yamauchi and even more sadly Mr. Iwata are gone, hardware sales are hitting all time lows which is holding back software sales, virtual near abandonment from third parties, complete collapse of their console biz etc. etc.

It really has been a staggeringly bad 5 year stretch for Nintendo. Unimaginable pretty much. 

Yeah it really couldn't have gone worse.  From the top to the bottom.  But are we at rock bottom?  Will 2016 level off the decline and will growth return on 2017 onwards or is the decline going to continue.
