$350m profit isn't small, also were you find 4 years of losses?

-2012. first loss ever for Nintendo - 43,204 million yen

-2013. profit - 7,099 million yen

-2014. second loss - 23,222 million yen

-2015. profit - 41,843 million yen (around $350m)

They made a profit this year due to cutting cost, but also changing business and operating models, and now they making much bigger profit with similar revenue. I can't see why they can't do same thing for next 2 years. For current year they aiming similar profit like in 2014., around $300m.

Why do you think they not investing in their future!? Last year or two they keep talking about new staffs, services, new console, new business models..

4 years of OPERATING losses-  the money they made the 2 years yo pointed out were do to favorable yen/dollar exhange rates but the actual operating entity lost money-

They will probably stay close to small losses and or small profits the next 2 years-  i doubt they will have big profit or loss the next 2 years

the reason i say they have not been investing much is due to their operating budget continuing to be lower every year-  they can invest outside their operaating budget and i don t know the varius accounting rules for the Nikkie exchange but Nintenod as a compnay has shrunk tremendously over the last 4 to 5 years and is still smaller than it was even during th egame cube years aomong others

What they do for the next genertion is critical for them to start growing revenue and market share again-  (profits too)

Isn't Net Income bottom of line!?

Exhange rates yes, but point is that they made money at end, and not lost.

For me $350m profit for 2014. looks like very good, especially if know they have lost for around $250m in 2013.

Bottom of line they stabilize their business, they dont bleeding money and they now operating with profit, so they don't have to rush with new consoles on market. I think after Wii U, too rushed new console would be very bad for them, but luckily they don't need to rush.
