Nintendo's second quarter results will be revealed on October 24th. Will the big N be profitable this quarter?

Hopefully yes. The 3DS is no longer being sold under manufacturing costs as of July 31st and the 3DS XL is sold at a profit since its release date. Furthermore, the release of New Super Mario Bros 2, Dragon Quest X must have strengthened Nintendo's financials (DLC sales will only be reflected in Q3 however).

What do you guys think, will Nintendo be profitable this quarter? Last quarter, Nintendo lost over 220 million, a lower loss than what was originally expected.

Honestly even their 3DS sales have been rather mediocre outside of Japan. Since they give the Gfk charts at their own discretion it wouldn't surprise me if they opt not to give out that data this quarter. Although they should be returning to profitability so who knows.

I think (and hope) they will bounce back. Many things went wrong all at once for Nintendo to post its first operating loss. With 3DS picking up, and what I expect will be good sales in Wii U and a newly-discounted Wii, Nintendo will return to form.

I really don't know if they will make it.

Sure, the 3DS doesn't make them lose money and the XL (which sells better than the regular one) makes them earn some money, but with Wii sales are falling and they have started mass producing the WiiU for its launch, and since they haven't sold any, every manufactured WiiU represents a loss.

It will be interesting.

Please excuse my bad English.

The time says 0700. Is that 7 am for japan? If so then that is Tuesday night for those of us in the US correct? I just want to make sure I know when it is supposed to be released. Maybe I should check Nintendos website.

I hope they will announce profits.

But sadly, If I had to bet money on it, I would bet on them still being in the red. Its just a feeling I'm having, I hope I'm wrong.
