No just barely scraping by and returning value to investors are two different things.Am I misreading the charts somehow? Operating income is on the up again, if they sell a few more Wii Us, which they likely will, they'll make a modest profit in Q3 14/15. Losses seem containable. I'm not seeing disastrous at all. I'm somewhat bummed by that actually because it seems like Iwata can get away with it for the investors. Long term it's a problem when they need to introduce the 3DS successor. On the other hand, with the Vita almost dead there isn't really an impetus to come with anything soon.

G&A expenses are mostly administrative stuff like executive branch salaries, rents, depreciation (as far as office space is considered), but also some of the more minor stuff, like office supplies or subscriptions, that sort of things. Basically any cost that is connected to administrating the company.
Thanks.Exactly that. Costs associated with running the company, employees basically.
That brought this instantly to mind.Less than 2 million in the Oc-Dc in the second year of a Nintendo console? Wii U really is dead.
It's not pining! It's passed on! This console is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! Its computational processes are now history! It's off the shelf! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile! This is an ex-console!!

So unless I'm missing something, this is a disaster of biblical proportions, right?

Has it trended before? (Not counting when it was announced)Wii U is trending again on Twitter. Most advertising the poor console's had..

Thanks.
"Advertising expenses" should be included in "Cost of Sales" then?
What about R&D-costs?
WWHD made a million?
Can we get other HD ports now, please?

Well, those numbers include the digital sales, most of which came from the game being bundled with Wii U.
But still... more HD ports please. Galaxy 1/2 for Summer 2014 kthx.
I'd love me some Banjo Kazooie and Tooie HD, too. That is, if Nintendo still holds the rights of those two. I think so, I don't think Rare took those two with them.
AndOoT HD 1080p 60fps on Wii U. Yeah yeah, I know. Oh well, a brotha can dream.

Are they showing the older systems to make the WiiU/3DS numbers seem less awful instead of just directly comparing them to Wii/DS ? Or are they usually there anyway.
And final bit from Nintendo's Iwata "How to utilize smart devices is the theme of our management policy conference (Thursday)"
MS has the rights.
But OoT would be great, but I want Sunshine
Banjo Kazooie is owned by MS. Hence BK Nuts N' Bolts and...Banjo Kazooie and Tooie HD on XBLA.
That's been out for years now. On Xbox 360.

It sounds to me that Nikkei's article is far more on the spot than they want to admit.
"How to utilize smart devices is the theme of our management policy conference"
No really, how do we use them? We see people on the train with these "iPhones" all the time? Does anyone know what they are? Miyamoto thinks they might also play games??

Jesus Christ, thank you!
The Wii U failure is all part of Nintendo's big plans. They failed so they can buy back their stocks at a low cost, then POW.. something will happen.. something always happens...
Almost 6 million units in a year, that's... depressing.

If wouldn't surprise me if the main part was about mobile, mostly because it's an issue that needs to be addressed to investors since mobile is all they think about. I doubt we'll see anything significant soon.If those promotional smartphone apps are actually the centerpiece of Iwata's presentation, rather than just a small part of it... goo
Sadly, I can actually see that being the case.
I think we should first see how will Vita TV fare in western markets before being so categorical about that.
Vita TV's performance would have little bearing on a Nintendo console. Sony has created the VTV as a cheap userbase enhancer and to squeeze more mileage out of the Vita hardware (probably to satisfy production allotment minimums). It's by no means a purpose-designed piece of hardware.
They'd be crazy not to do it. The problem is what games will be remade/ported. Honestly I couldn't care less about Mario Kart Double Dash or Sunshine. Those would take away from 3D World and MK8. They'll never even entertain the idea of green lighting Eternal Darkness or Geist. There is of course Fire Emblem but I'd rather a sequel to Awakening.
The disastrous performances are not immediately evident with the Q3 Earnings because it's the quarter where Nintendo earns the majority of its revenue and a great deal of its operating income.
Look at how horrid Nintendo's FY forecast is. -35 billion JPY operating income forecast and -25 billion JPY net income forecast is very, very bad for the management team that promised distinct YOY growth for the past 8 months or so.
The fact that Nintendo revised these numbers downward considerably just before they released these earnings is really telling.
Apologies if this has been asked already, but are the "Earnings Presentation" and "Investor Meeting" the same event? If they're separate, what is the distinction and when is the investor meeting? Or to put it another way: what time this evening should I get on NeoGAF to read about Iwata dropping bombs?
"How to utilize smart devices is the theme of our management policy conference (Thursday)"
I dunno where to post these following informations and please take it with an grand of salt, but according to a source of mine:
-Nintendo is working for several years on a new System. Not just a gaming system.
-Nintendo Direct is planed for this upcoming week = Mario kart 8 release date, Super smash bros release date, two new game announcements. note this was said two weeks ago
-Pokken is real. Pokemon/Tekken. Release date set for September 2014.
-Two Metroid games in development. One almost finished. Releasing Oktober 2014.
-ZeldaU is releasing Holiday 2014. Much darker and mature - u can feel the spirt of majoras mask in it.
-Japanese third partys are gathering closer around Nintendo. New exclusive deal and ips are going to be revealed.
-we are going to see at least 3 old long anticipated franchises from Nintendo this year
-New miyamoto ip. Only information is that there is no information. Kept very secret.
-eshop and retail games are getting cheaper
-Nintendo is going to drop some huge game changing suprises.
Well like i said, take it with a grand of salt, but according in what position my source is working, it seems really trustworthy.
Don't worry guys, this totally legitimate insider from 2 weeks ago is here with all the great news we're going to get:
totally real.

It was just 20 minutes of Iwata and Miyamoto dancing, though.That Nintendo Direct we had 2 fridays ago was pretty great! It went by so fast, I barely remember it at all!
