Yeah it really couldn't have gone worse. From the top to the bottom. But are we at rock bottom? Will 2016 level off the decline and will growth return on 2017 onwards or is the decline going to continue. |
It could be much worse, Nintendo could actually lose money, but despite terrible sales they making solid profit, even with slashed forecast it will be solid profit for Nintendo.
What still kinda amazes me (not a economics expert, so sorry if I sound too ignorant :P) is that they make profits even when they're not in their brightest era. Nintendo has a very powerful first party lineup and IPs, so they can sail in the storm with obviously less profit, but profit nonetheless.

They're making profit because the Wii U and 3DS were developed years ago so they can be sold at a profit. Naturally with a new console you expect the graph to rise but in 5 years will it be back below this point. Because that's how the cycle goes. Peaks and troughs.
Right now we're about to go from a trough to a peak. it's the natural cycle. The question is how big will the peak be and how low will the next trough go.

And it seems that they bumped their 3DS predictions down. But really when they haven't released much of note in the past year, what do you expect? |
The echange rates should only hurt both Nintendo and Sony as much as they are allowing it. Almost all of Nintendos games are devoloped in Japan.

Sony with PS3 at beginning had years of losses, Nintendo in their worst gen ever with 3DS and Wii U will have only 2 year of losses in 3DS/Wii U life cycle, and they will finish 3DS/Wii U gen with profit. Nintendo always making profit, same couldnt said for Sony (PS) and espacily Microsoft (Xbox).
Doesn't sound good for Nintendo.
The future is going to be very hard for them.

They will be swiming in money in just a year. Wait and see.

They haven't always made a profit. Their company's value was around 80BN before the 3DS and Wii U. They are now down to around 15BN. Will the NX continue the decline over the next 5 years or bounce them back.
PS. (pun intended) let's keep this on topic about Nintendo. No need to bring Sony or Microsoft into this.

They're going to invest in swimming pools made from money? that sounds like a bad investment to me.

Imagine if they had sold 80m+ wii u and lost 5 billion...Pretty bad now that they make profit with mediocre sales...
Not good. But they seek for this disaster with their horrible management decisions.
