Then that would mean it sold about 12 million in the second half. Not too bad.

The worst selling MK game, Super Circuit, sold ~ 5.5 million.... There is NO WAY IN HELL Mario Kart 8 won't be able to surprass that number by a lot!

Good sales for Wiiu! I was expecting more though!!!

Also guys those are SALES, not shipments!!!

Proof?

All numbers on Nintendo's sales data is shipments, not sold to consumers.

When has that ever been the case in Nintendo Earnings Reports?

Umm, because operating expenses are higher than the gross profits on the consoles.

"Net sales as a result were 74.6 billion yen (of which overseas sales were 58.0 billion yen or 77.7% of the total sales), and gross profit was 32.5 billion yen.  The operating loss was 9.4 billion yen because total selling, general and administrative expenses including fixed expenses exceeded gross profit."

I'm not surprised.  I think you'll find some analysis I posted a few months ago, discussing why I think it's likely Nintendo will lose more this year than the last.

Although Nintendo projected a profitable fiscal year, their own unit sales projections tell a different story.  Flat 3DS units, small increase in Wii U units, offset by big drops in DS & Wii software units.  A profit would be a surprise unless they cut expenses.

You can well see that their overall sales are down 8.4% YoY expenses are up 1.6% YoY.

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.
