Good thing I read ahead before quoting! Defintely this. The money from Amiibo was definitely a major major boost.

how much do we have to wait?

Tagged - but only because everyone else is doing it.

Less than 4 hours I think.

Well we would first have to see what caused the losses in the first place, in 2011 it was the huge price drop of the 3DS, in 2012-2013 was caused by Wii U being sold at a loss, not only that but by what I have read Nintendo was also using a lot of money on warehouses for all those Wii Us, and along that Nintendo was also getting plagued with lawsuits, one which was lost and caused to give like 3 dollars per 3DS sold. 

Now that is majorly gone, the 3DS is no longer sold at loss, the New 3DS using a different 3D technology doesn't need to pay those royalties, the Wii U being sold still seem to be leftover from the original order(as seen by the supposly discontinued basic pack still existing in Europe) so  no production for it to bring losses, the higher ups took a temporary salary cut, and as shown by amiibo, Nintendo has pushed back how much it produces to fill up warehouses, so all of those expenses have been lowered.  Last year, Nintendo also constructed some buildings and bought a mysterious tech company, so that contributed to their loss.

Though now all of that is out of the way, the majority of what is gained stays, and now with some extra income(compared to past years)from things like the MK8 DLC, amiibo, faceplates, 3DS chargers because of New 3DS, Hyrule Warriors DLC, etc.  

But this quarter will be interesting, since advertizing expense must be up by A LOT

Same here. I think that the overall results will be good. Most of the things that contributed to Nintendo taking losses no longer apply.  (see: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7266536). The only thing that's up in the air is Nintendo meeting their Wii U sales target. They might do it, but it'll be close. They basically met it last year too IIRC.

How much time till we get the numbers? =o

About an hour and a half.

Thank you, kind sir. 

In that case, I'll get to bed ASAP. Will read about it when I wake up. =o

One hour to go. Tagged.
