Nintendo has announced in an investor meeting that the Wii U is no longer being sold at a loss. In addition to that, they are targeting 3.6 million Wii U’s sold for the fiscal year.

this is a good thing actually. We got our gamecube 2 after Wii. Now just make amazing games Nintendo bring the heat. I need F-zero, Metroid, starfox to be shown at E3 along with Miyamoto, EAD Tokyo, and Retro's new IP's.... DO IT!

Yikes 3.6?

I hate to be this guy. I think 300$ is more than fair of a price for the DX bundle and a steal at 330$ with the MK bundle. Also i know this may come at the risk of selling at a loss again but maybe just maybe lower the DX bundle to maybe 250$ or 270$ it may entice people to buy and give it a small sales boost. Tho not to jump the gun yet. Wait til after E3 and how MK8 does before anything like that.

This is really great news.

I wonder if Nintendo does investor directs so investors are more supportive of their plans...

Anyway I hope this means the end of the big losses we've seen the last couple quarters...

At least the target is somewhat realistic, my goodness their last forecast sucked.

This.

They just need to put out great games.

On my wii u I have two games that I enjoy highly.

On my xbox one, there is one game.

On my ps4 there are two.

The wii u simply needs awesome games. Games to get excited about. Games that scream "in your face" to detractors.

But no.

Now they focus on baby wii u for other countries. Eh.

Well the Wii U definitely has the most great games out of the three, even if you only personally enjoy two of them.

Wii U`s price cut was one of the main culprits behind Nintendo`s losses (along with R&D).

Having that loss end, it will mean profit for Nintendo.

 

The 3.6 is conservative, as Iwata mentioned. With Mario Kart 8 and Smash, there`s no way they won`t do better.
