Q1. It seems the great reduction in the WiiU hardware sales forecast is influenced by the timing of the NX release, but how about 3DS?
A1. While we have set the sales forecast for the WiiU at 800,000 units, we don't think that there will be any negative effect on the 3DS. This fiscal year, the 3DS has big titles as previously presented, and in sufficient quantity. Both hardware and software will make large contributions to sales. Also, while WiiU sales are forecast to drop to 800,000 units, the upside is that we can focus on the 3DS.
Q11. While the forecasted sales for the WiiU this fiscal year are extremely weak, NX contributions to profitability seem to be included appearing to be numbers showing that, "We have some confidence in the NX, which will start with a sprint." Do you believe that the new NX will be able to cover for the decline of the WiiU?
A11. We have forecast WiiU sales of 800,000 units for this fiscal year, a decline from 2.4m units last fiscal year. In terms of what will cover for it, essentially, the NX and smart device businesses will be central, and also, the download content business is included. We are planning for a large part of the great decline in the sales of WiiU hardware being made up by NX sales.
