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).

They haven't always made a profit.  Their company's value was around 80BN before the 3DS and Wii U.  They are now down to around 15BN. Will the NX continue the decline over the next 5 years or bounce them back.  

 

PS. (pun intended)  let's keep this on topic about Nintendo.  No need to bring Sony or Microsoft into this.

Doesn't sound good for Nintendo. 
The future is going to be very hard for them.

They will be swiming in money in just a year. Wait and see.

They're going to invest in swimming pools made from money?  that sounds like a bad investment to me.
