GIVE US ALL THE INFO WE'VE BEEN CRAVING, PLEASE!

Awsome news I cant wait.

[Nollog]

To give a nice anecdote which illustrates how well pre-orders are doing at the moment, GameStop, which is the largest specialty retailer of video games in the U.S., created a "waiting list" after all of their allocated pre-orders had been sold out, and as of last week, more than 250,000 consumers had put their name and contact details on the waiting list for a Wii U system.

As production only started this summer, it has now become more likely that it is our production capacity, rather than consumer demand, that will place limits on our Wii U prospects for this calendar year, but we will make every effort to supply as many units as possible, and we will strive to continue to ship Wii U hardware without any interruptions in each region even after its launch.
In this fiscal year we are looking to ship 5.5 million units of Wii U hardware and 24 million units of Wii U software.

In this first half of the term before the launch of the Wii U, we were not able to make a profit on software for the system while we had to book a loss on the hardware, which is currently in production and will be sold below cost. Our loss has therefore widened during the second quarter in spite of bringing the Nintendo 3DS hardware back to profitability. Although we expect our financial performance to be revitalized, under these circumstances, unfortunately we cannot say that we will achieve "Nintendo-like" profits within this fiscal year.

Finally, time to lift the curtain on the last details, so exited!

[SDDMN]

Hoohoo boy, the comments on that page are REALLY bad.

I'm gonna go to here and GoNintendo from now on for news.

Anyways, this is good news, hopefully what we'll hear from Iwata during the ND isn't bad news.

I still don't know what "Nintendo Direct" means.

I still don't know what "Nintendo Direct" means.

Nintendo Direct is basically a series of web-conferences that Nintendo has every now and then, where they reveal new info on games and hardware. Think of it as a miniature E3.
