The confusion in numbers stems from the way the earnings report is structured, the first operating income number is for SIX months (meaning two quarters) not just the past Q2 (July-September). People are looking at that number and mixing it up as just the Q2 number.
I was thinking something was up because you can't have a $24 billion net profit with $15.5 billion in currency gains ... where's the other $9 billion in net profit coming from if the operating income is only $2 million profit? That means they somehow made $9 billion yen in profit but it wasn't from video games or currency gains.
I think NeoGaf has it right
Q2
96.7 billion yen revenue
9.5 billion yen operating income
24.2 billion yen net income
