Remember the pie chart will include revenue loss.

So those companies that lost money in 2008 compared to 2007 will be dragging all the rest down.... this is clever spin from Nintendo.

It's possible (it won't be true by a long shot but using only the pie chart I am saying what is possible) that a 2nd company actually contributed more growth than Nintendo.... but if a third company posted a loss equal to the 2nd companies growth, then it cancels out when you lump the companies together.

....That is the most terrifying effective spin I've ever seen.

It's very clever spin, in that it very effectively hides all the other companies growth/loss.

For instance if the sum growth of all "other" companies was slightly less (ie a sum loss) then Nintendo could have posted a pie chart with them being 100% of growth.... in fact they would be 100% of growth, and then some (negating the sum loss of the others before making even more)
