A 7% margin isnt that unusual in electronics (Sony and some others would kill for a margin that high) but Nintendo isnt a pure electronics business. And why isnt there any profit growth? They expect less profit than this year.

Maybe because of their R&D kicking in full spin right now while they develop the NX?

Why would there be profit growth for the next fiscal year? They are forecasting lower 3DS sales (7.6 mill) and about the same number of Wii U sales (3.4), so hardware will be down, software will probably be down too ... no Mario Kart or Smash, Splatoon looks like fun but lets be honest it's more likely to sell more akin to Pikmin 3 than Mario Kart 8.
