Not on the Wii U. 

a) With the Wii U Nintendo had several finanical quarters at a loss.
b) Considering R&D etc, they will not have broken even with it. (Net, not gross, profit)

Market pentration in Japan isn't a sign that it will do well elsewhere. Also, if you look at the mobile market app, a million users is tiny as there are over a billion android devices alone. 

Still for what they spent on the app, and it only being out for a short time I htink it's increadibly easy to say it's going to turn a pretty big profit for Nitnendo.

Not really as it's a freemium model, so the actual revenue of it is very hard to predict - look at all the free-to-play MMO's that tanked in a matter of months. While the running cost of the app will be low, the revenue from it is likely to be low as well due to the fact that it's Playstation Home all over again (zero game content), which was a staggering failure. 

Interesting point. Hopefully we'll hear something about it next month.

*edit* Also, the million users were within 3 days of it on market.

Did u mean to quote me?

Yeah, just continuing the idea of how Nintendo is back in profitability.

"Nintendo has had 2 years of losses, one of which was before Wii U even released."

Not Wii U, Nintendo.

Wii U outsold the Dreamcast.

"But Dreamcast reached 9 million faster" is ultimately pointless. Wii U sold faster than PS3 and 360 at first, doesn't mean it was more successful than those consoles overall.
