Negative 300 million from Q1 + Q2

Positive 150 million + from Q1 + Q2 + Q3.

Its not that hard to understand that Nintendo posted 450 million profit this quarter as one needs to offset the losses from previous quarter in order to be in the positive. Nintendo is a Japanese company and that's how they consolidate their report. The report for Q3 only should be released soon after the Investors meeting.

I understand that... I just said that's not how the financial results works.

Nintendo posted $160 million profit this quarter because to reach this quarter (Q3) they have to pass the other quarters (Q1 and Q2)... the resulta are cumulatives.

Edit - I'm not confused.

So what you're saying is that you guys have been arguing semantics this whole time. That Nintendo "posted" [yearly] profits of $160 mil this quarter, everyone misunderstood what you were saying, and three pointless pages ensued.
