1. Consolidated Operating Results

During the six months ended September 30, 2015, for Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL, which were
launched during the previous fiscal year as the newest members of the Nintendo 3DS family, continued to expand their sales with
new color variations, and the global sales of the Nintendo 3DS hardware reached 2.28 million units. As for the Nintendo 3DS
software, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer became a hit, marking 2.02 million units in sales. In the Japanese market, titles
from various genres such as Rhythm Tengoku (temp.), Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright/Conquest and Pokémon Super Mystery
Dungeon became popular with a wide variety of people. In addition, a third-party title sold over a million units as well. In the
overseas markets, popular Nintendo titles such as Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS continued to show steady sales. As a result,
the global sales of the Nintendo 3DS software reached 19.20 million units.
With respect to Wii U, Super Mario Maker, which was released globally in September offering a new taste to the Super Mario
series, marked 1.88 million units in sales and got off to a good start. Splatoon, which was released in May, marked 2.42 million units
in sales and contributed to vitalizing the Wii U platform. The worldwide sales of the Wii U hardware and software were 1.19 million
and 12.37 million units respectively.

For amiibo, the newly released card type amiibo showed strong initial sales. At the same time, figure type amiibo have continued to
maintain strong momentum and enjoyed robust sales.
As a result, net sales were 204.1 billion yen (of which overseas sales were 144.6 billion yen or 70.9% of the total sales), and
operating income was 8.9 billion yen. As a result of non-operating income coming from interest income etc. totaling 7.5 billion yen,
ordinary income was 16.4 billion yen and profit attributable to owners of parent was 11.4 billion yen.

2. Consolidated Financial Forecast

For Nintendo 3DS, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes was released globally in October, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam will be
released in December for Japan and Europe, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is scheduled for release in November for the United
States and in early 2016 for Europe. Furthermore, a number of key titles from third-party publishers are scheduled for release. With
such activities, we aim to further expand the Nintendo 3DS business.
For Wii U, by maintaining the attention level of Super Mario Maker and Splatoon, which have brisk sales, we will strive to further
enhance the sales toward the year-end sales season. Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, which is played using amiibo, will be released
globally in November, and titles such as Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and Star Fox Zero will be released sequentially.
Meanwhile, for amiibo, with its lineup becoming increasingly enhanced, we aim to further grow the sales by releasing a new figure
type of Animal Crossing characters, which will be launched simultaneously with Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival in November. In
Japan, the second series of Animal Crossing amiibo cards will launch in October.
In addition, a gaming application for smart devices is scheduled for release.
As a result, there is no revision to the consolidated financial forecast for this fiscal year announced on May 7, 2015.

I wonder if total wordwide 2015 Wii U can beat total 2014 Wii U thanks to Splatoon raising baseline sales in Japan?

Would be pretty interesting.

Splatoon doing better and better and better. The best thing Nintendo has done in 2015 and done by the youngest developers wich makes things way more exciting for future Nintendo projects.

NB the numbers listed in the OP and title are for H1, not just Q2.

HW is slightly up.
Wii U SW is up.
But 3DS SW is down.

Overall rev up, costs not up much => op profit for H1 v loss last year.

So now we're up to 12 million Wii Us sold Worldwide.

Also best game pulling almost 2.5 million sales worldwide. Awesome!

edit: Oh, Wii U Software? Hmm...nevermind then.

Not bad for Wii U all things considered, shipping around half of what Nintendo 3DS has shipped in terms of hardware so far this financial year. Wii U has a good chance of meeting its target shipments for the financial year. 2.4 Million more is doable....I think.

They have really turned around this year's first half compared to last year's. Almost 9B Yen operating profit compared 215M Yen loss. Nintendo has finally recovered from the losses caused by dismal Wii U sales, and hopefully NX launch won't bring them back to the negative once again.

I could see it. It never looked like it could be a full, retail release on its own. Neither did Project Giant Robot
or Star Fox Zero
though.

What about money? Seems very focused on sales and not profit and so on. Good or bad? No amiibo total sales on the other hand?

So, Mario Kart 8 - 5.87 million

So is it still the worst selling Mario Kart? It has probably beaten Super Circuit by now :p

Good point. I have a habit of just calling it Q2. I can't change the thread title, but will put in a disclaimer.

I've edited the title based on deducting Q1 numbers.
Although, if someone wants they can check my maths.

Q2 SW should be 11.28M for the 3DS and 7.82 Wii U.
