Fact: According to their FY2013 year end financial briefing, they now make a profit.

guys mario kart 8 was never gonna sell over 100k per weeks(hw wise)) it was meant for people to notice the wii u is a new console and raise its baseline(both seem to be working since its been at 60kish for a few weeks)

Huh? I'm pretty sure Nintendo is not losing money wirh the WiiU anymore....

It's not a fact, it's accounting sleight of hand.  The wii u sold so poorly last fiscal year that they are left with a large overstock, so by applying the loss on those consoles to last year the money they can make on the overstocked wii us are put to covering the loss of any new models made this year.  Nintendo never said that they are now making a profit per console sold, they wouldn't have had to use such fancy language to dance around that issue otherwise.

Thank goodness someone else read the Iwata Q and A.   I have been saying the same thing referring to Dirext quotes from Iwata and people still disagree because they heard/read otherwise on the net -   They wrote down the losses of the previous years leftover inventory - Iwata also flatly stated that it cost more to make the Wii u thanwhat it can be sold for 

Oh, some people really confident about the impact of MK8. The tomorrow result will crush some dreams.

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

what?

like it going down the tank(seriously doubt it because wii u literally has 2 bundles in gamestops top ten for nearly 2 weeks)

I'm on  the side of saying 50k at least and going with 55k so itll be fine unless it stays at 60k coming into july(then thats a good thing shows how well the legs can hold :) )
