It is, just interesting. Sony should see similar exchange rate gains I guess. |
I was checking this around two years ago. It seems that exchange rates which benefits Nintendo profits makes a problem to Sony profits.
At Nintendo's overall profit is usually higher then operating profit. At Sonys - overall profit is usually lower then operating profit. I read an explanation that a lot of nintendo costs are still in Japan, so current exchange rates benefits it. And Sony was 'smart' 10-15 years ago and get its costs out of Japan. Which in current sitiuation of exchange rates makes it worse to them.
That is a very simple explanation and was made around 1.5-2 years ago. But it seems current trend is still something like this.
