This generation, Nintendo made ~$19 billion while Sony lost ~$4 billion and MS lost ~$1 billion. Having one unprofitable quarter (due to "R&D expenses and currency exchanges") is not reason to throw a hissy fit.
Also, the Pokemon game you referred to is a free promotional spin-off, similar to previous non-Nintendo system Pokemon releases such as the Pokémon PC games, the free to play online game or the cell phone game from 2006.
Wii has been in trouble for abit. Hope Nintendo learns from its mistakes. Think they got over confident on the back of the wii/ds, back to reality time.

Portable gaming changing but it going to take much longer for that to happen to console gaming .
There still going to be new hardware for a while.
Nintendo mess up with 3DS , let see what they can do with Wii U .
You're missing the point, it seems. How many paycuts did Balmer take for RROD? How many did Hirai take for the PSP's failure to absolutely crush the DS like everyone in the gaming media said it would?
Nintendo's million sellers for the quarter.
Mario Kart Wii sold 1.22 million last quarter. Is now 28.23 million LTD.
Pokemon B/W sold 1.36 million. I snow 12.87 million LTD
Zelda:OoT sold 1.08 million.
To me, even though its probably a poorly translated tweet from something Iwata actually said, its still just empty Nintendo PR talk promising better online, better digital offerings, better 3rd party support, etc. Same old, same old.
