At least they are very transparant about their losses and profits unlike other consolemakers..


Every console maker has to report losses and profits and they do. You just don't pay attention.

At least nintendo has balls to show the numbers of HW instead of jointing together am i right? :P



3DS .82 million? over tracked here most likely?

WiiU .51 million? how does that stack up against vgc numbers?

overall these are bad numbers honestly.

Yeah, the 3DS has always done well in the holidays and with Smash, Pokemon  and MH4G (I think is what it's called) it should have a good holiday season this year as well, but it won't reach last years heights.


Maybe, but 100 million is not impossible though. Just like Sonys consoles, Nintendos handhelds seem to have long legs.

Eeeeh, I think 100 million is extremely unlikely, that would really need something new to reignite the interest of the people that went to smartphones/tablets for their mobile gaming needs. Like I said above, if Nintendo (or anyone else on 3DS) can come up with a new game that has the same kind of success that the original Pokemon games did, then it might be possible.

Aham...

:P

Anyway, there will be a presentation about the results today? anyone has a ETA? Remenber that gibbon is not allowed to tweet the Q&A presentation anymore.

Odd things those exchanges losses and restrucituring lossses. From where those came and what they mean? New building and the abenomics?

Well, maybe they decide to cut the price now.

From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

you realize shipping .5 million units in your second year is a very bad number, right? no matter how awful your previous year is, these numbers are still bad. 



The Wii U numbers are OK, and a loss is expected in Q1 for a console maker. Your overhead is the same throughout the year, but the bulk of your sales are in Q3. If Nintendo was making a profit right now, they would be in for a massive win by year end- and I'd be snapping up their shares again!

200% growth for Wii U represents a massive turnaround, and Nintendo would be content with another 50% growth from the current place I'm sure.

The big concern is in the handheld space where 3DS is performing like PS360 did last get - good, but not spectacular like the DS. They need a device that can re-capture the youth.

Wii U = 6.68 million

3DS = 44.14 million


Shipped numbers of course right?

If so both Wii U and 3DS are overtracked LT


Yes to shipped. VGC might not be over tracked on Wii U though. It has it at 6.52 million as of June 28.


Yes and they seem to be about 300k more shipped than sold so more like 6.3 million sold at that time.
