Â¥40 Billion in difference of loss projected in comparison to July. Holy fuck.

Quote:
And, as Bloomberg notes, if these prognostications hold true, it would mark Nintendo's first annual loss in a full 30 years.

Well, considering the news we got from 01.net some months ago, I'll believe that. Nintendo is pretty much screwed if the 3ds and WiiU aren't successful ... That being said, the 3ds hasn't done too bad since the price cut, but I hear that WiiU development is as shaky as a prostitute on her first day at work.

At any rate, I'm really interested in seeing how the guys over at Nintendo handle all of this. This should be an interesting few years for everyone working there..

That must mean that during the GameCube years - seen as their most disastrous - they were still making a profit.

And now they're making a loss?

Jesus wept... they must be doing REALLY badly...

Personally I hope this is a big fucking wake-up call and they just stop dicking about with OMFG CASUAL GIMMIX!

As a casual gamer is there really anything enticing about buying a WiiU to replace the Wii?

As a hardcore gamer is there really anything enticing about buying a WiiU to replace the Wii you sold?

I think Nintendo could be in for some seriously rough times ahead.

For the first one, there's nothing.

As for the second one, I didn't sell my Wii to begin with :lol:.
Though you do drive a fair point. Sure, the Wii U is getting updated versions of Arkham City and Darksiders II, along with more third party support... But those are games that will have been out for a while already. Nintendo needs a hard-hitter of their own for the launch of the thing. They need some exclusives that aren't 'WiiU Sports'. :I

Dragon Quest X and Pikmin 3 say hi.

As for "casual gimmicks", Nintendo already thought of that, they came up with the Wii U. Yeah, there's the screen in the controller, but aside from that, it's designed like a traditional controller, with face buttons and everything.

Come on people, yes it was bad, but less than anticipated and yes the yen I really strong so no as much cash really.

No real games out, slashing the cost of hardware and a strong yen are what did this... look at their line up for xmas. Sure they will bounce back. No not as much as when they rode high on wii and ds, but still punching above their weight all things considered.

This.


Close, it's only USD225m. Which when you convert it to what everyone else posts their P/L in, it's not really that much in comparison to some. Sony TV, by comparison, have posted a USD2.2b loss, Sony as a whole are expecting losses in total of around USD750m at the end of the 11/12 fiscal. Just breaking it down to Consumer Products & Services, they're expecting to be around USD300m down, in just the last few months of trading.

So yeah, it's a big loss, but in comparison to their competitors? Nintendo are actually doing a little bit better...

Nintendo still has money falling out of their ass.

Nothing to see here, move along.

It's because SCE is part of the same division as Sony TV/Consumer Products and Services. Sony don't publish financials any further down than that.
