Not sure if there is a better way of doing this but...
Global totals week ending march 03 12
3DS 15.3m
Wii 94.9m
DS 150.9m
Global total week ending Jun 30 12
3DS 18.0m
Wii 96.0m
DS 151.6m
Differences
3DS 2.7m
Wii 1.1m
DS 0.7m

So undershipping or overtracking? When does Nintendo release europe and its other numbers?

Quarter starts at the end of march, not the start of march.

Global totals week ending march 31 12
3DS 16.05m
Wii 95.2m
DS 151.05m

Differences
3DS 1.95m
Wii 0.8m
DS 0.55m

Sounds pretty spot-on, to me.

3DS no longer being sold at a loss, as of today

Nintendo has just confirmed it is no longer selling 3DS hardware at a loss. The change comes as of today, 25th July. The news was announced in addition to the company's latest financial report, detailed below.

While selling at a loss is not unusual for hardware manufacturers, it was a rare move by Nintendo. The company was forced to slash the price of the 3DS last summer in a bid to boost sales.

surprising good news.

I hope XL isn't sold at a loss either. I have a feeling Wii U will be sold at a loss.

Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

I don't think any Nintendo system will be sold at a loss for the next few years. I expect WiiU to be profitable right out of the gate...

Anyway, these numbers are a bit meh, but expected. The real test will be the next quarter with NSMB2, DQX and 3DSXL all coming. What can they do?

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Wii U article is a month and a half old, and even then it doesn't say anything certain.

Whether or not Nintendo lose money on the console remains to be seen.

PS3 numbers won't be far off 3DS numbers worldwide.

Slightly bigger loss than I expected, but they -should- return to profibility within the next one or two Q's, so it's not a disaster.

Holy crap! I had no idea Nintendos revenue was so small. :0 Apple made 35x their revenue is quarter! That's crazy!

Disappointing results. It's a tough time to be a gaming company
