Hardware sales

• Wii lifetime: 101,560,000
• Wii U lifetime: 10,010,000
• 3DS lifetime: 53,070,000

Nintendo has posted an encouraging profit (8.3bn yen / £43m) for the months April, May and June. Last year it was in the red (-9.9bn yen / -£51m).

The good news is 3DS sales (1m for the quarter), Splatoon sales and amiibo sales. Splatoon has sold 1.62m units since its release at the end of May, helping the Wii U edge over the 10m sales milestone (10.01m specifically) after two-and-a-half years on sale. Considering Splatoon is Wii U exclusive, and it was on sale for two full months, that's a convincing result for the new IP. Then again, Mario Kart 8 is owned by 5.11 million people - more than half of the Wii U audience.

It's good that Nintendo is profitable for the second (maybe third?) quarter in a row. Good that Splatoon looks like a thriving new IP.  Amiibo sales obviously good. Only ten million in sales after two years and 7 months is pretty bad.

the comparison to MK8 is dumb
