It could be much worse, Nintendo could actually lose money, but despite terrible sales they making solid profit, even with slashed forecast it will be solid profit for Nintendo.

They're making profit because the Wii U and 3DS were developed years ago so they can be sold at a profit. Naturally with a new console you expect the graph to rise but in 5 years will it be back below this point.  Because that's how the cycle goes.  Peaks and troughs.  

 

Right now we're about to go from a trough to a peak.  it's the natural cycle.  The question is how big will the peak be and how low will the next trough go.

Sony with PS3 at beginning had years of losses, Nintendo in their worst gen ever with 3DS and Wii U will have only 2 year of losses in 3DS/Wii U life cycle, and they will finish 3DS/Wii U gen with profit. Nintendo always making profit, same couldnt said for Sony (PS) and espacily Microsoft (Xbox).
