June Quarter  HW / SW

3DS - 1.86 / 7.39m

Wii - 0.71m / 8.47m

DS - 0.54m / 8.48m

That's around 24.35m games shipped for the three platforms combined. Looks like Wii is still their main revenue source for software too given the games cost more than 3DS and sell more still.

Only? Man how high were the DS sales back in the day? They must have some high expectations, the 3DS selling at a loss is hurting them pretty bad right now, IDK if they have sold a console at a lose before, it must be a new experience for them.

This Year: Q1 Loss ~ $221m (78 Yen per $)

Last Year: Q1 Loss ~ 327m (78 Yen per $)

The forecast calls for 20b Yen lost in H1 of the current year, and they had a 17.23b Yen loss in Q1, so you can assume they intend to lose only $35m in the next quarter, it's not a terrible result given how much revenue has gone down. They've driven up profitability a ton and will be making more money over Oct-Dec than last year.

3DS sold over half of its units globally in Japan for the quarter - that is why they say "only".

Next quarter is the one to watch

I'm sure the Wii U will bounce the company back to the green age.



It's just that simple.
