Nintendo profits down. Is the bubble starting to burst, or is everyone just waiting for the 3DS?
Still printing money? Not so much
That said though, it does raise some 🎃interesting questions regarding Nintendo's white waggle box.
The biggest losses came from falling DS sales, which came in at 6.69 million for the six mo🌱🍃nths leading up to September 2010, just over 40% down on the 11.7 million from the same period last year. Wii sales were down by nearly a million, clocking 4.97 million in contrast to last year's 5.75.
In the case of the DS, th♉is is all far less disasterous that it seems. After all, a console's sales are bound to drop once everyone in the world has seven each. And with the 3DS about to start printing money all over again, shortly before firing the receipt right out into your face via the wondrous third dimension, it's no big surprise that people are holding off buying its soon-to-be predecessor.
