"According to Japan's Nikkei, Nintendo is to reveal a pre-tax loss of ¥100 billion (£821 million) when it reports its half-yearly financial results tomorrow.
The newspaper claims that the loss - which will almost double the ¥55 billion (£451 million) loss predicted by Nintendo - will be largely due to exchange rates. The strength of the Yen against the Euro is expected to account for a loss of ¥40 billion (£328 million).
Should Nikkei's claim be true it would mean Nintendo has sustained a loss of ¥74.5 billion (£611 million) in the last three months alone. Its financial results for the first quarter of its financial year, released in July, showed a loss of just ¥25.5 billion. "
As for Miyamoto
"Shigeru Miyamoto publicly announced today his retirement from game development and from the company he's worked for now for well over 2 decades. The sudden bombshell has left the gaming community reeling and has put Nintendo in an uncomfortable position with no one readily available to guide the artistic vision of some of its largest franchises. In his statement Mr. Miyamoto cited undisclosed health reasons and a desire to spend his remaining days alone with his family."

I knew Miyamoto wasn't leaving, but I actually bothered to click the second link before posting it on another site. Smart me.
