Nintendo just barely managed to make a profit last quarter

While an $8.9 million profit isn’t indicative of a successful quarter, investors were nonetheless pleasantly surprised when Nintendo revealed that it actually managed to make some money last quarter. I guess the measly half a million Wii U units that the company managed to sell last quarter was still enough to put Nintendo in the green. Still, the fact that the Wii U has taken three years to reach the 10 million sales milestone that the PlayStation 4 reached in nine months really shows you how poorly Nintendo is doing.
