Nintendo posts improved financials as Wii U sales grow - 610,000 Wii Us sold in the last quarter, taking lifetime total to 7.29 million

Nintendo highlighted improved Wii U sales momentum on Wednesday as it posted better than expected financial results for the first half of the business year ended September 30, 2014.

The company said Wii U sales have been on an upward curve since Mario Kart 8's release in May.

Nintendo sold 610,000 Wii U consoles in its most recent quarter, for a total of 1.12 million in the April-September period, taking lifetime Wii U sales to 7.29 million units since launching in November 2012.

5.01 million Wii U games were sold during the most recent quarter, and 9.4 million in the first half of the year, for a lifetime total of 41.67 million units.

Nintendo sold 1.27 million 3DS consoles in its most recent quarter, for a total of 2.09 million in the April-September period, taking lifetime 3DS sales to 45.42 million units.

It moved 14.73m 3DS games during the most recent quarter, and 23.3 million in the first six months of the year, for a lifetime total of 186.22 million units.

The company reported net income of 14.3 billion yen (£82m/$132m) for the April-September period, compared to 600 million yen (£3.4m/$5.5m) during the first six months of last year.

First half revenue came in at 171.4 billion yen (£983m/$1.58b), down 12.8 per cent from a year earlier, but the firm's operating loss was reduced from 23.3 billion yen to 215 million yen (£1.2m/$2m).

Nintendo's outlook for the full business year ending in March 2015 remains unchanged. It forecasts a net profit of 20 billion yen (£115m/$185m) on sales of 590 billion yen (£3.4b/$5.5b).

Watching a Nintendo Direct live for the first time in an age! I do love these guys :)

MK8 update hitting on Nov 13th, woohoo!

I might even buy the Pikmin Shorts (£4.49) and 3D on 3DS or HD on WiiU.

Still don't get Xenoblade...

ARGH! I forgot about Splatoon! Looks like some neat single player too.

I'm utterly sold already. Q2

Yeah, are they updating them at all? I didn't get it. I want Metroid in HD...

Ha, Amiibo's in Ace Combat on 3DS paint jobs - very clever Nintendo...

I really think they are killing it right now, I'm so excited about loads of their games.

As posted above by manicm:

Nintendo will begin selling digital versions of Wii games on Wii U, the company has annonuced.

The new range will reproduce some of the last-gen console's top titles, although there is no word of any enhancements.

Nintendo will start by selling Super Mario Galaxy 2 starting later today.

Donkey Kong Country Returns will launch on 22nd January while the excellent Metroid Prime Trilogy will arrive on 29th January.

Kirby's Adventure Wii, Pandora's Tower, Punch-Out and Sin & Punishment will be added to the range in the future, too.

Each game will cost £8.99 during its first week on sale, then raise in price to £17.99 afterwards.
