Then what did they do with the leftover change?

Nothing like companies posting massive losses and then spending even more money.

The Japanese are so silly.

Actually no Nintendo said QOL is "non-wearable"

Nintendo tend to invest an awful lot less in R&D than a lot of other tech companies (which makes sense, since for the last 10 or so years they've prioritized cheaper/lower spec hardware for their consoles).

A single 100 million investment is pretty big for them.

No one knows but here's the slide

Also you are wrong on being non gaming. Nintendo have already confirmed it is part of QOL.

QOL is at this point a complete mystery

100 million?

Did Nintendo buy Platinum or something?

Maybe a Nintendo phone? For the mobile business they were talking about. 3DS phone or something? Or a tablet or something

Maybe they are trying a console third pillar? Like they did with the DS back in 2004, for their handheld business? Never the less, its a new, major hardware, costs are way to high for anything else, software or peripheral alike.

Very interesting.. and it fits my "nintendo will do VR before any other" 

They needed the patent/tech before they could go pulic..

Think of it.. The only firm ever in the world that have made a VR product on the "casual" marked.. The one firm that "belived" in the other VR components first.. (motion and the external screen whitout lag) and even the wiiboard can be used in VR too.. And Nintendo are the one firm standing to make the most out of VR.. (games/brand) 

And they have not speaked of it..That make no sense :)

I'M pretty sure they are more than ready.. and we can espect "Nintendo Wii-R" this year (and i don't mean a new consol, but  "vr glasses" for wii-u)

And It's 100% not like kinect..  Nintendo (and sony) turned that down before MS got it (They could have bought the tech)

And they could do both "cam" and voice command in theire "own tech/patents" (They have done/used both many times before)

Star Fox WiiU confirmed!
