Q11. While the forecasted sales for the WiiU this fiscal year are extremely weak, NX contributions to profitability seem to be included appearing to be numbers showing that, "We have some confidence in the NX, which will start with a sprint." Do you believe that the new NX will be able to cover for the decline of the WiiU?

A11. We have forecast WiiU sales of 800,000 units for this fiscal year, a decline from 2.4m units last fiscal year. In terms of what will cover for it, essentially, the NX and smart device businesses will be central, and also, the download content business is included.

Interesting how he isolated the downloadable content business at the end as something that will make up for the lack of Wii U sales.

I. Wonder. Why.

Lol, jk. I don't actually think this hints at anything, but it'll make Rol cranky sooooooooo.

It's quite obvious that he's talking about DLC.

Expect to see some paid DLC for some Wii U and 3DS games like Splatoon.
