That's what they did in a year with horrible wiiu sales and the decadent sales of 3DS and still got great numbers, now that they have a new complete winner on their hands and other big plans out of the console business, yes, they could return to those profits, or at least get way closer than anticipated, as much as it hurts for some.

The horrible WiiU sales and low 3DS sales were more than compensated by the sale of the Seattle Mariners which netted Nintendo a cool $670M. Don't forget that. From your post you'd think that their traditional gaming business is what is doing the work.

Which means they were still having good profits even on one of their most difficult years ever, with 2 consoles dying and releasing less software than usual, yet even without the sale of the team the profits were more than decent. Be prepared for what is coming.
