Wii U units went on sale last November and the company hassoldjust 3.61 million units since launch, well below their prediction of 5.5 million by March.
Making matters worse, Wii U software sales were 1.03 million units, down 51 percent quarter-over-quarter.
Nintendo sold 1.4 million 3DS handhelds, and software was up large due to the release of Tomodachi Collection: New Life and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The aging Wii reached the 100 million unit plateau during the quarter, as well.
Forecasting for the year, the company still expects an operating profit of $1 billion, although the net profit expectation is unclear.
