Nintendo: a catastrophic year

43.20 Milliars yen, or 425 million Euros, this is Nintendo's deficit for this fiscal year 2011-2012 which has just ended. The turnover is in turn a decrease of 36.2%. The declining price of its consoles, the Wii one side reaching the end of life now and that of the 3DS exclusively to boost sales, are the main pitfalls that resulted in an operating loss of about 37 , 32 billion yen.

Stock of the Nintendo 3DS is not the one expected by the manufacturer. The small laptop has struggled to win at launch, the fault of too high a price. The questioning of the tariff is unlikely to have allowed Nintendo to catch up. The manufacturer 3DS displays 5.85 million sold in Japan in Japan and 11.3 million abroad. On all these sales, only 13.49 million sales occurred during the past fiscal year.

No surprise, the Wii, certainly out of breath and replaced this year by the U Wii, no longer displays the results so convincing of yesteryear. In one year, it took 9.84 million copies of the console, or 5 million less than FY 2010-2011.

Nintendo also had a hard time selling its games, both on 3DS on Wii. But the manufacturer, faced with as little optimistic figures, is still to keep your head up and turns résoolument forward.

Wii G carries all the hopes of the firm, just like the big licenses to own Nintendo. The manufacturer expects positive results next year, with 20 billion yen in annual net profit, an operating gain of 35 billion yen and an annual turnover of 820 million yen.
