Post by: Shaymin on April 26, 2016, 09:04:27 PM

Anything sold on Wii U this fiscal year will be a bonus.

Nintendo did post an operating and overall profit for the past fiscal year, though numbers were down across the board.

Hardware numbers:

• WIi U 3.26m for the fiscal year, 12.8mn to date
• 3DS family: 6.79m year, 58.85m to date
• amiibo: Figures 24.7m year, 35.2m to date, cards 28.9m to date

Hardware projections:

• 3DS family 5 million systems and 55 million software sales
• Wii U 800,000 systems and 15 million software sales
• No NX indicators given intentionally

Top Performing Games of the Fiscal Year:

• Splatoon 4.27m copies
• Super Mario Maker 3.52m

Almost 400m for digital sales is pretty nice. The Amiibo money is good (but not something to be relied on) and 1.8m copies of FE Fates without EU is insane. Other numbers are shitty though...

Overall, kinda decent results, I guess? Hope the NX can turn the table, although I really won't bet on it.

Nintendo'll be coasting for most of this new fiscal year, as far as we can see.


Good to see they are staying above the red.

Dr. Kawashima's Devlish Brain Training has been cancelled for Europe since last month.
This sucks for me because i bought a 3ds years ago to play this title. But that's what you get for being a Nintendo fan.

It's still listed "TBA" on the release schedule, for some inexplicable reason.

Do we put any stock in Project Giant Robot still being listed, without even a release year attached? Is that just business-speak for "this is in limbo for now"?

Splatoon has sold over 4 million copies. That means it sold to roughly one third of all Wii U owners. Thats pretty good

Listed in Europe, so I don't know. Probably sneaks out in the E3 press kit (such as it will be) anyway.

A new IP getting a 30+% attach rate? Mind blowing.

Those sound like some ambitious projections for software...
