read this article, maybe im not understanding it well. It says they profit for the first 9 months 500 million.

http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/nintendo-profits-jump-full-year-profit-forecast-rises-1.2209678

The article is a bit mistaken on a few points. Nintendo didn't raise their full year forecast. They cut it from 40 million yen to 20 million yen operating income ($169 million approx). This is why their stock took a hit last week. This is a better article:

Nintendo hasn't made $800 million in a year in a long time now, probably 5 years at least (I'd have to look it up) which would take us back when the Wii/DS were still very strong. So if they're expecting that number for FY 2017, they must have something(s) huge launching in 2016. No doubt about it. 


ok but what about the 500 million in profit for the first 9 months of the year. thats even in their official pr statement.
