Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Fiscal Year Results Archive Thread

I'm planning on taking over Nintendo's financial results threads, so in order to have good control I decided to make an archive thread with a lot of the financial data Nintendo's made available throughout the years, its a buttload to say the last.

We start in the 1980s when Nintendo didn't release HW nor SW numbers and have modest profits, also the fiscal year was from September to August as opossed from April to March as its now (and has been since the mid nineties).

HW & SW results start in FY1997-98 right after the Nintendo 64 launch and the Pokemon boom, we would't get partial results until a few years later, in the form of biannual which would turn to quaterly results a few years later.

All the data of this thread comes directly from Nintendo.

Additional Info

All of this is accurate as of March 31st 2015

Total hardware and software sales of all Nintendo systems worldwide (according to Nintendo, the Virtual Boy never existed)

To explain this, you get 2 charts per region, one that has shipment data for software and hardware and an additional that has extended software data.

The later is split into 3 parts, the tie ratio which is the average number of software units sold per hardware unit, the number of titles released for said software unit and the average sales of software on said hardware unit, hopefully that makes things clear.

Also, WiiWare, Virtual Console, DSiWare eshop, and downloadable only software as a whole isn't included, for example:

The numer of titles on the 3DS column includes Pokémon X/Y as it was a boxed release howerver Pokémon Battle Trozei isn't included at all, however digital sales of Pokémon X/Y are included on the total software sales. Note that this varies from region to region so if it was  boxed release somewhere but not elsewhere then its not included.

Software bundled with Nintendo Power isn't included either.
