I just checked and it was US$15.4B back in 2010. So, that's a US$6.8B drop in 6 years. That's with the 3DS's success. The NX needs to make a big impact if they want to combine handheld and console sales.

7 billions lost in 6 years? That doesnt sound right.

Two things, it is not 7 billion, it is 3.3 Billion in terms of Cash and Short Term Investment (Short Term Investment is basically Cash, that is why large corporations do combine the two a lot), and secondly, that does not mean 3.3 Billion is what Nintendo lost, that is how much they spent on various things.
