Nintendo reported a loss that was less than expected Wednesday, as video game hardware sales continue to decline. Sales of the Wii gaming consoles were one of the Super Mario creator’s weakest spots. The company sold 710,000 machines, compared with 1.56 million during the same period a year earlier. It sold 540,000 DS handheld consoles, down from the 1.44 million it sold a year ago. Nintendo sold what it termed “only” 1.86 million 3DS consoles, the handset that gives users 3D views without having to wear glasses.
