Nintendo has released its financial results for the business year ended 31 March 2013, and things aren\u2019t looking too good for Nintendo and its Wii U.<\/p>\n

As for the numbers themselves, net sales were 635.4 billion yen, with operating loss of 36.4 billion yen; this can be contrasted with the 43 billion yen loss of the previous financial year.<\/p>\n

Ordinary income for the company was 10.4 billion yen, and net income was 7 billion yen.<\/p>\n

The Wii U is one of the factors in Nintendo\u2019s results. The company managed to sell 3.45 million units, which didn\u2019t really reach the forecast 4 million; which itself was a downward revised figure from their initial 5.5 million unit projection.<\/p>\n

Over the next fiscal year, Nintendo forecasts the sale of 9 million Wii U hardware units.<\/p>\n
