But fact is that they loss only around $9m till now, and with this year (most likely only with this Q1) they will become profitable this gen.

So which is it? Did they lose a ton of money like the OP says or did they lose 9M ?

There is difference between operating profit and Net profit, bottom of line is of course net profit. Nintendo had loss if look only operating profit, but overall, they lost only around $9m this gen and with this current fiscal year they actually have solid proof for this gen.
