So if I got this right the good news is that Nintendo is back in profit and Wii U is meeting sales forecasts and the bad news is that 3DS sales are way down compared to last year, although New 3DS should help remedy some of that before the financial year ends.
The Mario Kart attach Rate is amazing and sad all at the same time. It sort of encapsulates the issues that the Wii U has been having thus far. Beyond the Wii U being stuck in its rut the company is doin incredibly well.
WAT!

I should probably mention it here as well but Amiibo has sold over 5.7m Worldwide. [Source: Neogaf]
This just makes me even more confused about the stock issues. Did Nintendo really only plan on selling a handful of these? I mean, 5.7 million is a success for sure, but there's over 60 million users in the current gen Nintendo ecosystem. Surely Nintendo could have anticipated a higher demand? Skylanders and DI figurines have like a hundred million sales. This is a lucrative market and Nintendo merch is very popular, even among those that don't have a Wii U/3DS.
Some LTD sales numbers (in millions as of December '14):
3DS:
Pokemon X & Y: 13.70
Mario Kart 7: 11.42
