Without splatoon and Mario maker they probably would have lost money.  I wouldn't be surprised if splatoon on its own provided about 200m in profit. 

Nah,  they both definitely helped out alot, Probably did about 15-25 percent of all nintendo profits (splatoon+smm) 

 

There are many other factors to consider that made them money. Like... 

DLC: mk8+ssb definitely made them a ton of profits alone

Amiibo: sold 20mil+ this year

Games that weren't expensive to make because of reused material! Triforce/ac/fe/ml/etc

Well splatoon sold 4m. 

4m x 60$ (it's 65 on amazon)  is 250$. Do you think the game cost over $50m to make.  It looks super cheap compared to modern day AAA. So why wouldn't roughly 200m of their profit be from splatoon?
