I thought it would be fun to analyze how the recent success by the Nintendo consoles has impacted the company's number of employees. If maybe the increased income is invested in more employees -> hopefully more and better products in the future!

Year ended March 31, 2006: 3,150 employees
Year ended March 31, 2007: 3,373 employees (+7%)
Year ended March 31, 2008: 3,768 employees (+11%)

My guess is that Nintendo will have about 4200 employees in March 31, 2009.. comments? anyone have older data? :)

 

Nintendo released financial data for the year ended March 31, 2009 today, and it's time to update my OP analyzing the number of employees at the company.

Year ended March 31, 2006: 3,150 employees
Year ended March 31, 2007: 3,373 employees (+7% YoY)
Year ended March 31, 2008: 3,768 employees (+11% YoY)
Year ended March 31, 2009: 4,130 employees (+10% YoY)

My guess that Nintendo would have 4200 employees by now was almost on target, slightly overprojected. Considering the data so far and by reading Nintendos forward-looking statements, my new estimation for the year ending March 31, 2010 is that the company will have 4500 employees.
