Support NeoGAF

[brainpann]

$220 million loss, not good. I wonder what Iwata's plan is.

oh jeez, it's already starting.

On Kotaku in 5...4....3...........

 

[TriGen]

I thought Q1 seemed a little long this year.

Yeah, I had to think about this one for a second.

Keep up

 

[Danthrax]

Time until Kotaku or CVG runs these numbers as new

If we keep replying to this thread, 45 minutes.

So long?

 

[CronoShot]

Gotta admit, almost got me.

 

[TreasureHunterG]

Nintendo needs to do a better job with 3DS in US/EU lands. NOA and NOE are not doing their best to advertise it and third-party (not from Japan) support is awful.

Mario will save them.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

The bump got me good. I read the OP thinking it was Q2. Christ...

 

[Akai]

Nintendo needs to do a better job with 3DS in US/EU lands. NOA and NOE are not doing their best to advertise it and third-party (not from Japan) support is awful.

But if you think about it, when has third party support not from Japan for a handheld system NOT been awful?

 

[Danthrax]

So long?

It's late, people aren't F5ing GAF as often at this hour.

 

[The Hermit]

damn, Nintendo, just close already...

Spoiler

 

[chertipros]

Lol I wonder how many people will think this is new news when they see the bump

 

[Pineconn]

Fuck. Read the OP and about 20 posts before I realized it was old.

[frankie_baby]

I'm inclined to think they'll show a profit this quarter, wii u r&d should've pretty much finished and 3ds has been profitable for a couple of months, add in Mario and the XL launch

 

[Lord_Byron28]

I went through at least 25 posts until I realized this was old.

Edit: of course it was Parmenides to bump this thread.

I'd think that Wii U manufacturing would cut a nice slice of dough. Next quarter will most definitely be profitable, however, with Wii U hardware and software revenue.

Actually if my understanding of accounting is correct wii u manufacturing won't make them show a loss as all manufactured units will show up as an asset

 

[Sammy Samusu]

In case anyone cares,Nintendo will announce its financial results in the next few hours.
I hope I can contribute more in the future.

Aren't you the crazy PS3 guy from MC threads?

That's him

Lol, I have no idea. I'll trust you on this one.

[Culex]

20 million dollar loss in lieu of a positive Q3?

 

[frankie_baby]

Lol, I have no idea. I'll trust you on this one.

I could be wrong but I did do a tiny bit of accountancy for a couple of months in a college computer course I did way back when I was 16

 

[Thoraxes]

Yep.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Google "iwata wii u production costs" and you will see an UNCONFIRMED Nikkei article, something about Iwata expecting a rough FY.

 

[freddy]

Awful bump. You owe me 2 minutes.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I only realized it was a bump when I saw my post on the first page.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

I'm interested in the numbers for this quarter, but the Q3 numbers will paint a clearer picture of the 3DS situation.

I'm also hoping a Direct is announced shortly after. It would make sense.

 

[yon61]

I'm not optimistic.

 

[Pharros]

I was reading the comments and was so confused... Silly me.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Lol! How can people see a thread like this with all of these post and not check the date? Goddamn.

[jrDev]

Ok...that got me for a minute...I was like "wtf, another 200 mil loss!!"

 

[IntelliHeath]

$220 million loss, not good. I wonder what Iwata's plan is.

Yeah, It happened last quarter, so I'm curious if he got what he want for this Quarter.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I was halfway down the first page before it hit me. :/

Why would anyone bump this? Just wait for the press release and then make a new thread, it's not like NPD where we need to speculate on the numbers.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

Edit: If I haven't seen it I assume it's new. Turns out I'm alone.

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

Wait, no Q2 result as well?

I'm expecting a very different number for Q2 considering the 3DS hardware returned to profitability pretty early within the period.

With the 3DS still losing them money on hardware I'm not particularly surprised to see a hardware loss so large, especially when it's widely known that software sales have been more than abysmal in the West and comparatively unsatisfactory in Japan.

And that's just considering the 3DS and not the massive slowdown from Wii and DS.

This is an old thread that got bumped by the OP... for whatever reason.

Fiscally negative Nintendo is best Nintendo ><

Damnit you guys....

How dare you expose my ignorance of clearly labeled dates by bumping this old thread when the sales results are supposed to come out soon.

Huh?

Nintendo doesn't have enough monies to go third party!

 

[IrishNinja]

Virtual Boy R&D really left them in the hole

 

[@MUWANdo]

Lock this thread.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Earnings get released in 2 and a half hours. Full year P/L forecasts should look a lot better with the way the Euro has been doing against the Yen recently.

 

[Dragon]

I won't be up for these earnings but if they're not positive how is GAF going to feel? Is it going to be a bloodbath akin to the iPad mini Apple stock price?

What happened with Apple stock and iPad mini?
