Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Q1 Earnings July 31st (Results Inside - Profit)

Farsala on 31 July 2013

3DS overtracked by a bit, others seem good. Wii finally got 100m. DS software undertracked by a lot.

Wonder how the Wii U is doing compared to vita shipments in same timeframe.

Since Sony bundles in Vita and PSP together, we will probably never know.

If I were to guess, it's ahead. But the gap is closing. 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

160k in 3 months, that is even worse than I expected.

Gonna throw down a prediction of 100k Wii Us shipped.


Ha! Fucking idiot!

OT - Not had time to take a proper look, so I will return later!

So... since it isn't mentioned, does this confirm that Nintendo didn't buy Atlus, since the auction supposedly was on the 28th?

The power of Abenomics

The very weak yen saves Nintendo from another loss. Abe save Iwata.

Sony too when they announce. Abe saves Kaz.

As for shipments here? Poor, any other view is spin. 3Ds down YOY by 30% and WiiU is on hiatus.

Nintendo have kept the forecast at 9m to March for the WiiU? wtf are they smoking?


Well that's the thing with forecasts, a company can say whatever they want. There's no rule or regulation for product forecasts.

I...I don't know really. They must be planning a hefty price cut, and expect to have Smash Bros out before the fiscal year is out as well. Even then, I don't see it coming close.

Maybe there waiting to see what the upcoming games will do for sales before adjusting



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I'm kind of surprised that Nintendo is still able to post profits with floundering Nintendo WiiU sales, granted the Nintendo 3DS and Wii are just managing to pull it through. This is even with them losing money on every WiiU console that is sold. Gotta hand that to them.

90 Million US Dollar profit from the first quarter of this financial year.

I realise that, but people arent stupid.  I think the market may spank Nintendo today.


I think Nintendo is hoping at least some of their investors are stupid, lol. If they scale back their forecasts I think the fear is some groups of investors may start to panic, so maybe it's better just to stand pat and bank on the next few quarters being profitable. That will cushion the blow by March 2014 when they have to fess up on missing sales forecasts.
