According to the main page there were more sales that quarter than shipments so there were too many consoles left on stores in Q3 |
YES,this is why Q4 is a little tricky, Ex: 3DS has sold much more in japan alone than Q4 shipment :)
Man 3.6 million projected for the next fiscal year for Wii U.
It's obvious the console is performing horribly but seeing Nintendo themselves admit this is a dead horse. Stunning. Honestly we haven't seen anything like this from one of the "big 3" in a long time.

Honestly it was bound to happen with Nintendo home consoles on a decline. The Wii just happened to be the casual magnet Nintendo needed to not drop off into obscurity.

Between 9:00-9:30pm EST
3.6 million for an entire year? Makes me wonder what their expectations are from the upcoming Mario Kart? Surely they do not expect big numbers there, I guess they are hoping for some bundle sales, but are betting on the existing install base to carry the game sales.
As many pointed out, R&D costs point to a new console activity, let's hope it is something revolutionary to jolt the masses and have them start talking about Nintendo in a positive manner - and not just a controller reinvention .
Also, I must point out that I am positively surprised by 2.2M 2DS consoles, I didn't expect it to be that popular...

Results are very poor indeed; however, for once, like I mentioned previously, Nintendo is being extremely conservative with their hardware and software sales at the exception of 3DS HW for FY15. Furthermore, a one-off event of 270 million for R&D investments for Q4 does not paint a pretty picture either. It's going to be a very interesting investor's meeting tomorrow. |
Am I reading it right, did they spend ~707 million on R&D expenses for this whole FY?
And ~527 million on R&D last year, and a projected ~562 million next year?
What accounts for the spike in R&D expenses this fiscal year?

Yup you are correct; usually expenses revolving software & hardware developments, especially new hardware (QOL)
I honestly wonder if Zelda is being moved to a launch title for their next console.
Holy crap those are some terrible 3DS and Wii U shipment numbers for the last quarter.
2DS really seems like a dud, I don't think it helped Nintendo much at all.
