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.

No. What I'm saying if you had a loss in the previous quarter you have to pay it in the next quarter... so the profit this quarter is $160m because Nintendo have to pay the loss of the previous two quarters.

That's the motive for the financial result to be cumulative.
